rpkg.workshop

The goal of rpkg.workshop is to download learning materials for Developing R Packages, as well as to install any required packages. rpkg.workshop also allows you to open a given module in RStudio Cloud.

Installation

You can install the latest version of rpkg.workshop with:

options(repos = c(
  emptyfieldds = "https://emptyfield-ds.r-universe.dev",
  CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"
))

install.packages("rpkg.workshop")

Installing modules

use_module() will install the materials for a given module on your computer. Then, it will open a new RStudio Project containing the files you’ll need.

rpkg.workshop::use_module("module_name")

By default, this package downloads the materials to a conspicuous place like your Desktop. You can also tell use_module() exactly where to put the materials with destdir:

rpkg.workshop::use_module("module_name", destdir = "a/path/on/your/computer")

Opening modules in RStudio Cloud

browse_cloud() opens a module in RStudio Cloud, where the materials and all necessary tooling will be pre-installed. This requires an RStudio Cloud account.

rpkg.workshop::browse_cloud("module_name")
