The idea was to have me talk about my “top tips on how to design and develop high-quality, user-friendly R software” in the context of open science, and then be a facilitator at the hackathon. It also worked well geographically since this hackathon was to take place in Ghent (Belgium) which is not too far away from my new city, Nancy (France). Library /Frameworks /R.framework /Versions / 4.I was invited to an exciting ecology & R hackathon in my capacity as a co-editor for rOpenSci onboarding system of packages. Before the creationīefore we get started we need to make sure we have the essential packages installed to create an R package development workflow The course of any R package development can be broken down into these steps:īefore we start, I assume that you will be using Rstudio for this tutorial. More specifically I’ll outline a workflow of an R package development. In this blog post, I’ll outline the basic workflow you can acquire using the tools in usethis. … it automates repetitive tasks that arise during project setup and development, both for R packages and non-package projects.

The devtools package has always been instrumental for good package development, but some of these features and additional ones are now to be found in the For more general documentation on package development, you would be right to look at Hadley Wickham’s book Writing an R package from scratch by Tomas Westlake are both great sources of information to create a package.

Writing an R Package From Scratch and its younger sister There has been a lot of progress in the aid of package development in R in recent times. This code has been slightly revised to make sure it works as of.
