This gt workshop will teach you a lot about what gt can do, and, itโll give you an opportunity to experiment with the package.
The goal of the workshop is to introduce you to a lot of examples and provide some time to generate some sample tables, learning bit-by-bit as we go.
Each module of the workshop focuses on a different family of functions, with relevant examples and exercises in each. They are all presented here as R Markdown (.Rmd) files with one file for each workshop module:
"01-create-table.Rmd" (The Create Table Family of Functions)
"02-create-modify-parts.Rmd" (The Create/Modify Parts Family of Functions)
"02z-PRACTICE-01-02.Rmd" (Practice with examples from modules 01 and 02)
"03-format-data.Rmd" (The Format Data Family of Functions)
"04-modify-columns.Rmd" (The Modify Columns Family of Functions)
"04z-PRACTICE-03-04.Rmd" (Practice with examples from modules 03 and 04)
"05-summaries.Rmd" (The Add Rows Family of Functions)
"06-table_option_functions.Rmd" (The Family of Table Option Functions)
"06z-PRACTICE-05-06.Rmd" (Practice with examples from modules 05 and 06)
You can navigate to any of these and modify the code within the self-contained R Markdown code chunks. Entire R Markdown files can be knit to HTML, where a separate window will show the rendered document.
Normally you would install gt on your system by using install.packages():
# install.packages("gt")For this workshop, however, we are going to use the development version of gt and install it from GitHub with devtools::install_github().
# devtools::install_github("rstudio/gt")
