Feature request: Allow passing a function to `gs_read(..., progress)` #380

Closed brianwdavis closed 5 years ago

I use gs_read in some Shiny apps to let users on my team select different sources of data to display and manipulate, but the Google API isn't blazing fast. I find myself frequently wrapping these calls with progress bars from Shiny, but those require hardcoded increments. I poked around and saw that with gs_read(..., progress = T) in an interactive session, httr::progress() is called, but it would be great if we could pass in some other progress-bar-generating function there.

Would this be a huge pain to find the downstream effects for implementing?

googlesheets will soon be given an old watch and fondly retired (not literally, but it won't see further major development). Suggestions for features should be registered on its successor: googlesheets4.
