conflr is an R package to post R Markdown documents to Confluence, a content collaboration tool by Atlassian.

You can install conflr from GitHub.

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("line/conflr")

conflr uses these environmental variables to access your Confluence.

• CONFLUENCE_URL: The base URL of your Confluence. e.g. https://confluence.example.com (On Atlassian Cloud, https://<your-domain>.atlassian.net/wiki).
• CONFLUENCE_USERNAME: Your username (On Atlassian Cloud, your email address).
• CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD: Your password (On Atlassian Cloud, your API token. For more details about API token, please read the official document).

There are several ways to set these environmental variables. The quickest way is to enter in the popups that are displayed when you run the install command (see Usages section below).

Another way is to set the variables in the .Renviron file (you can open the file with usethis::edit_r_environ()). For example, you can set the base URL in the file as the following.

CONFLUENCE_URL=https://confluence.example.com

(Caution for those who are not familiar with R Markdown: R Markdown’s powerfulness allows you to execute arbitrary code; be sure about what the code does before clicking “Post to Confluence”!)

Then, you will be asked your username and password.

• type: The type of the page (page means a normal wiki page, whereas blogpost mean a blog post, not a page).
• Space Key: The key of the space you want to post.
• Parent page ID: (optional): The ID of the parent page to the page.

conflr supports Math expressions to some extent. But, it requires LaTeX Math addon installed. Otherwise, you will see “unknown macro” errors on the page.

conflr doesn’t support htmlwidgets-based packages like leaflet and plotly. Instead, you can embed the screenshot by setting screenshot.force = TRUE in the chunk option (c.f. https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/html-widgets.html).

library(conflr)

# list pages
res <- confl_list_pages(spaceKey = "foo")
purrr::map_chr(res$results, "id")

# get page info
page <- confl_get_page(res$results[[2]]$id)
page$title

# create a page
new_page <- confl_post_page(
  spaceKey = "foo",
  title = "Test",
  body = glue::glue(
    '<ac:structured-macro ac:name="code">
     <ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[this is my code]]></ac:plain-text-body>
     </ac:structured-macro>
    '))
new_page$`_links`
