path

A character string specifying the directory where the survey template should be created. Defaults to the current working directory.

ask

Logical. If TRUE (default), prompts for user confirmation when creating the survey in the current directory. If FALSE, bypasses the confirmation prompt and proceeds without asking.

Value

Invisible NULL. The function is called for its side effects.

Details

When creating a new survey template, this function will:

1. Check if the specified template is valid

2. Confirm the destination path with the user (if it's the current directory)

3. Download template files from GitHub if a non-default template is specified

4. Copy template files to the destination directory

5. Skip .Rproj files if one already exists in the destination

6. Prompt for confirmation before overwriting existing files

External templates are downloaded from the surveydown-dev/templates GitHub repository.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  # Create a survey with the "question_types" template in the "my_survey" directory
  sd_create_survey(template = "question_types", path = "my_survey")

  # Create a survey using the default template in the "my_survey" directory
  sd_create_survey(path = "my_survey")

  # Create a survey with default template in current directory
  sd_create_survey("default")

  # Create a survey without asking for confirmation
  sd_create_survey(template = "default", path = "my_survey", ask = FALSE)
}
