easyBakeOven

R Package that facilitates various aspects of R package authorship and deployment in tandem with the usethis, devtools, and sinew packages. Features include:

  • Generate yaml skeletons for the pkgdown package
  • Write Rnw files for Sweave to incorporate static pdf vignettes into a package
  • Customize sinew package’s roxygen2 skeletons

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("meerapatelmd/easyBakeOven")

Example

Printing arguments and their values in the R console

If you have the following functions:

love <- 
        function(thing_i_love) {
                
                sprintf("I love %s.", thing_i_love)
                
        }

like <- 
        function(thing_i_like) {
                
                sprintf("I like %s.", thing_i_like)
                
        }

You want to print what you love or what you like. For example, if you love apples:

love("apples")
#> [1] "I love apples."

If you like bananas:

like("bananas")
#> [1] "I like bananas."

What if I want to author a new function that prints both things I love and things I like in a single function call?

I can use easyBakeOven’s make_args functions to return arguments and their values for love() and like() to copy-and-paste into the new function.

The default and internal arguments from love() are:

make_args(love)
#> thing_i_love
#> 
#> thing_i_love = thing_i_love

The same for like() are:

make_args(like)
#> thing_i_like
#> 
#> thing_i_like = thing_i_like

I can then copy-and-paste the results from the above calls to make_args to author like_and_love(). Starting with the default values for the arguments for
both functions, both of which are missing.

like_and_love <-
        # Added default arguments
        function(thing_i_love,
                 thing_i_like) {
                         
                
        }

The internal arguments can then be copy-and-pasted.

like_and_love <-
        function(thing_i_love,
                 thing_i_like) {
                         
                         sprintf("%s AND %s",
                                 # Added internal arguments
                                 love(thing_i_love = thing_i_love),
                                 like(thing_i_like = thing_i_like))
                
        }

The function is now authored and executable.

like_and_love(thing_i_love = "apples",
              thing_i_like = "bananas")
#> [1] "I love apples. AND I like bananas."
