• Setting the order of the tables in the base using reorder_tbl() according to the row order of data.

• Setting the table icons (emojis) using update_tbl() according to data$meta.icon.

Usage

set_tbl_metadata(
  data,
  id_base = base_id(hostname = hostname, email = email, password = password, api_token =
    api_token),
  hostname = pal::pkg_config_val("hostname"),
  email = pal::pkg_config_val("email"),
  password = pal::pkg_config_val("password"),
  api_token = pal::pkg_config_val("api_token"),
  quiet = FALSE
)
