I do not know whether there is a way to print a date object that appears into one of the '''r ''' chuncks in flexdashboard.
this is the flexdashboard title:
---
title: 'r param$title
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
theme: simplex
vertical_layout: scroll
orientation: rows
param:
title: paste0( "Metrics from_date_to_date)"
from_date_to_date: print(from_date_to_date)
---
And this is my date object:
> from_date_to_date <- data_metrics$month_data_generated %>%
+ unique()
> from_date_to_date
[1] "2023-04-15 to 2023-05-16"
Obviously, as wrong as it is, I've used the r coding language at the heading of the rmarkdown to show what I want. Is there a way to print my date object from a chunk into the title?
Define the date object at first and then use the title
yaml key later.

output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
orientation: columns
vertical_layout: fill
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(flexdashboard)
date_obj <- "2023-04-15 to 2023-05-16"
```
---
title: 'Metrics From `r date_obj`'
---
Column {data-width=650}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Chart A
```{r}
```
You can also use parameters too,
---
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
orientation: columns
vertical_layout: fill
params:
date_obj: ""
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(flexdashboard)
```
---
title: 'Metrics From `r params$date_obj`'
---
Column {data-width=650}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Chart A
```{r}
```
Then render the document,
# get your date object
date_obj <- "2023-04-15 to 2023-05-16"
# then render
rmarkdown::render("flex_dashboard.Rmd", params = list(date_obj = date_obj))
