Description

Make an example tutorial that saves all tutorial events to a google spreadsheet.

Possible features:

  • Use options(tutorial.event_recorder = FUNC)
  • Use googlesheets4 https://googlesheets4.tidyverse.org/
  • Use a local .Renviron file to store passwords (maybe?)
    • Would allow for the tutorial to be shipped to shinyapps.io and still work. (System environment variables are not able to be set on shinyapps.io)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how the learnr package records tutorial events using the `options(tutorial.event recorder = FUNC)` mechanism, and study the googlesheets4 package to authenticate and write data to Google Sheets. Consider how to handle credentials for deployment to shinyapps.io using a .Renviron file.
