What file types are accepted?
Any standard flat tabular data format can be added to the
input_files when adding data. This includes .csv, .tsv,
.xlsx, .rds, and .sas7bdat files. Data can also be provided in zipped
format, as dpinput_map will unzip your files for you.
Should I use targets with dpcode_add()?
Since version 0.0.0.9014, dpbuild::dpcode_add() has a
parameter use_targets (default FALSE) where the user can
specify whether to use targets instead of drake for building data
product targets. Since drake is superceded, we recommend using targets
by specifying dpbuild::dpcode_add(use_targets = TRUE) when
starting any new projects.
If you have an existing project that uses drake and you’d like to
switch to using targets, you can use dpcode_add() to get
the relevant targets template files, but you will have to
delete or rename your existing dp_make.R and
dp_journal.Rmd files first.
