range_format_pattern()
to be able to format date and number data in Sheets.@jennybc we talked about this a few months ago in #81, please let me know what you think of this, even if it's just this is not the path forward for
googlesheets4
! I did try an approach to formatting usingvctrs
(mattle24#1), but I found it to be less flexible for supporting both numbers and dates, since the types are separate in R but similar in Google Sheets. Also, I think that formatting directly on the Google Sheet, rather than manipulating the R data frame, could make it easier to add more formatting (color, alignment, etc.) down the road.Thanks for the work on the package, it's really useful!
