helper - make date/version footer for summary report

Usage

generate_report_footer(
  footer_version_number = NULL,
  footer_date = NULL,
  footer_text = NULL,
  footer_html = NULL
)

Arguments

footer_version_number

optional, default is read from the package, in format like "2.x.x"

footer_date

optional, default is today's date. Should be in format like "April 1, 2026". If footer_date not specified, it is based on date right now in local user timezone, based on wherever the server happens to be

footer_text

optional, e.g., "Report created by EJAM version (version_number) on (date_created)". If specified, it overrides date and version parameters.

footer_html

optional full HTML for footer. If specified, it overrides all other parameters.

For example,

footer_html = shiny::HTML(paste0('
  <div style="background-color: #edeff0; color: black; width: 100%; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: right; margin: 10px 0;">
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">', 'Report created by EJAM version 2.X.X on April 1, 2026', '</p>
  </div>
'))

Details

used by app_server.R and .Rmd report templates. Passing a parameter as NULL is the same as omitting it/not specifying it. To make footer blank (no text), pass "" for footer_text or footer_html.
