Find Google Sheets — gs4_find • googlesheets4

Finds your Google Sheets. This is a very thin wrapper around googledrive::drive_find(), that specifies you want to list Drive files where type = "spreadsheet". Therefore, note that this will require auth for googledrive! See the article Using googlesheets4 with googledrive if you want to coordinate auth between googlesheets4 and googledrive. This function will emit an informational message if you are currently logged in with both googlesheets4 and googledrive, but as different users.

Arguments

...	Arguments (other than `type`, which is hard-wired as `type = "spreadsheet"`) that are passed along to `googledrive::drive_find()`.

Examples

if (gs4_has_token()) {
  # see all your Sheets
  gs4_find()

  # see 5 Sheets, prioritized by creation time
  x <- gs4_find(order_by = "createdTime desc", n_max = 5)
  x

  # hoist the creation date, using other packages in the tidyverse
  # x %>%
  #   tidyr::hoist(drive_resource, created_on = "createdTime") %>%
  #   dplyr::mutate(created_on = as.Date(created_on))
}
#> # A tibble: 1 x 3
