Is there a way to pipe data from one RMD to another?

Viewed 35

I am setting up a project where I will be doing all my data cleaning, management, and analysis in a single rMarkdown file.

However, after cleaning, I want to then generate a codebook based on the cleaned dataframe(s) in a separate file (using a package called codebook if that is helpful).

However, RMDs by their nature usually are designed to be self-contained.

Is there a way to basically "pipe" a dataframe from the cleaning.rmd into the codebook.rmd.

My workflow would be something similar to:

df_raw %>% cleaning.rmd (which creates df_clean) %>% codebook.rmd

I have looked into child documents, but it seems to be more loading multiple RMDs into a single one, instead of a single RMD into multiple.

Thank you for any suggestions that you might have!
