Make a method of abstracting read/write of data from non-filesystem based data repositories

[mstackhouse]

If data lives on external systems, such as Box, buckets, etc.

@mstackhouse is this a mock up of the data_prep.Rmd template?

• read in data from .Renvirorn variable
• do stuff to it or just a comment about how you can
• save it as a .rds file to the .Renviron folder location?

I think my original idea here was like how when using Box, you had to write and read data through the API tooling. If you're reading a local Rds file then that's just loading the Rds file itself - so it's not just the location that's changing, it's also the function necessary to read the data.
