Include data for tests and create RMarkdown templates

Your Turn 2
  • Create a new R Markdown template called “avalanche-report” using use_rmarkdown_template(). For the template_description argument, set it to: “A weekly report of AVALANCHE activities.”
  • Inside the exercises/ folder, there is a file called report.Rmd. Copy and paste its contents into inst/rmarkdown/templates/avalanche- report/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd, which you just created.
  • Re-build the package (build() or Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B).
  • Create a new R Markdown document using File > New File > R Markdown…. Then, find your template under the “From Template” tab. Open it.
