library(rpkgkit)
dir <- file.path(tempdir(), "example")
usethis::create_package(dir, open = FALSE)
usethis::local_project(dir)
usethis::use_readme_md(open = FALSE)

Import standalone helpers

rpkgkit includes utilities that can also be imported directly into another project with usethis::use_standalone().

usethis::use_standalone("WangLabCSU/rpkgkit", "args_to_func")

Match arguments to functions

The args_to_func.R standalone script provides helpers for matching a list of arguments to compatible functions.

f1 <- function(a, b) a + b
f2 <- function(x, y, ...) x * y
f3 <- function(p, q) p - q

args <- list(a = 1, b = 2)
match_func_to_args(args, f1, f2, f3)

args <- list(a = 1, b = 2, x = 3, y = 4)
foo <- function(x, y = 1) x + y
filter_args_for_func(args, foo)

Show the caller of a cli message

The caller_cli.R standalone script decorates a cli function so its output identifies the caller.

decorated <- add_caller_to_cli(cli::cli_alert_info)
foo1 <- \() {
  decorated("<- where is this called from?")
}
foo2 <- \() foo1()
bar <- function() foo2()
bar()

Use colored cli output

The colorful_cli.R standalone script creates a cli environment with convenient color classes.

color_cli <- create_colorful_cli_env()
color_cli$cli_alert_danger("{.red This is a red message}")
color_cli$cli_alert_info("{.blue This is a blue message}")
color_cli$cli_alert_info("{.orange This is an orange message}")

color_cli2 <- create_colorful_cli_env(cli_theme = generate_color_theme())
color_cli2$cli_alert_success(
  "{.violetred3 R}{.orange a}{.yellow i}{.green n}{.cyan b}{.blue o}{.purple w}"
)

Add timestamps to cli output

The ts_cli.R standalone script creates timestamped cli functions.

ts_cli <- create_ts_cli_env()
ts_cli$cli_alert_info("Hello, world!")

Manage standalone files in a package

Use inquire_standalone() to inspect standalone files in a GitHub repository and browse_standalone() to search supported repositories.

Create a local standalone file with a standard metadata header:

create_standalone("foo", open = FALSE)

After editing standalone files, refresh their last-updated field:

update_time_in_standalone(path = "./R/standalone-foo.R")

Add a dated changelog entry to one or more standalone files:

add_changelog_in_standalone("R/standalone-foo.R", "Added foo function")
