Details

Alpha release of v0.2.0 of the rgoogleslides package.
The version of the package has been bumped up due to change in methodology in the way of the package is operating.

Previously,

• Package relies on utilizing lists to manage the requests being sent to Googleslides API
• Some functions within package immediately hit the Googleslides API once its utilized
• Some of the function names are mirrors of the Googleslides API e.g. post_batchUpdate. The meaning behind the package is lost

Currently,

• Package now relies on a R6 class to pass information between functions
• Support of pipes (%>%). If you install the magittr package, you can utilize pipes
• No function will hit the Googleslides API except for the commit_to_slides function. Commit to slides function is the renamed function of the previously named post_batchUpdate
