Request partial resources
You may be able to improve the performance of your API calls by
requesting only the metadata that you actually need. This function is
primarily for internal use and is currently focused on the
Files resource.
Note that high-level googledrive functions assume that the name, id, and
kind fields are included, at a bare minimum. Assuming that
resource = "files" (the default), input provided via fields is checked
for validity against the known field names and the validated fields are
returned. To see a tibble containing all possible fields and a short
description of each, call drive_fields(expose()).
prep_fields() prepares fields for inclusion as query
parameters.
drive_fields(fields = NULL, resource = "files") prep_fields(fields, resource = "files")
