Drake flavoured `render_site()` page build routine with static branching

_render-pages-plan.R

# needs to be outside of the drake plan for `rmd_files = !!pages_paths` to work
pages_paths <- dir("reports", pattern = "*.Rmd", full.names = TRUE)
# TODO: exclude _file.Rmd with regex in dir

plan <- drake_plan(
  render_pages = target(
    # TODO: Add a trigger dependency on _site.yml
    command = rmarkdown::render(
      knitr_in(rmd_files),
      output_dir = file_out("docs/"),
      quiet = TRUE
    ),
    transform = map(rmd_files = !!pages_paths)
    # “bang-bang” operator !! from tidy evaluation
  )
)

# not quite sure about the site_libs dir of render_site()...
# CSS, yml tags and assets work fine though
