This project relies on an email address that is stored in an .Renviron file.
This email is used to authenticate your G-mail account, allowing a user to read
the data from Google Sheets. Without this authentication, the app will not work.
The app is also hosted publicly
here. Local
hosting is only required during development.
In the file .Renviron.example, replace yourEmailHere@gmail.com with your
G-mail email address. Note that there should be an empty line at the end of the
file, and no quotation marks etc. should be used.
For your R Studio session to read your email, rename the .Renviron.example
file to .Renviron.
In server.R, there is a line commented out that contains gs4_auth().
Un-comment that file and run the app once. There should be a prompt that pops up
in your browser asking you to authenticate with your G-mail account. After that,
gs4_auth() can be commented out for the remainder of development.
