devtools

The aim of devtools is to make package development easier by providing R functions that simplify and expedite common tasks. R Packages is a book based around this workflow.

Installation

# Install devtools from CRAN
install.packages("devtools")

# Or the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("r-lib/devtools")

All devtools functions accept a path as an argument, e.g. load_all("path/to/mypkg"). If you don’t specify a path, devtools will look in the current working directory - this is a recommended practice.

• laddervnp安装包安卓 simulates installing and reloading your package, loading R code in R/, compiled shared objects in ladderVNP安卓版 and data files in data/. During development you would usually want to access all functions (even un-exported internal ones) so load_all() works as if all functions were exported in the package NAMESPACE.

• document() updates generated documentation in laddervnp安卓, file collation and NAMESPACE.

• test() reloads your code with load_all(), then runs all laddervnp下载安卓版 tests.

• test_coverage() runs test coverage on your package with covr. This makes it easy to see what parts of your package could use more tests!

Building and installing:

• install() reinstalls the package, detaches the currently loaded version then reloads the new version with library(). Reloading a package is not guaranteed to work: see the documentation for unload() for caveats.

• build() builds a package file from package sources. You can use it to build a binary version of your package.

• install_* functions install an R package:

  • install_github() from GitHub
  • ladderVNP安卓版 from GitLab
  • install_bitbucket() from Bitbucket
  • install_url() from an arbitrary url
  • laddervnp下载安卓版 and install_svn() from an arbitrary git or SVN repository
  • install_local() from a local file on disk
  • install_version() from a specific version on CRAN

• update_packages() updates a package to the latest version. This works both on packages installed from CRAN as well as those installed from any of the install_* functions.

Check and release:

• check() updates the documentation, then builds and checks the package locally. check_win() checks a package using win-builder, and check_rhub() checks a package using r-hub. This allows you to easily check your package on all systems CRAN uses before submission.

• release() makes sure everything is ok with your package (including asking you a number of questions), then builds and uploads to CRAN.

Learning more

R package development can be intimidating, however there are now a number of valuable resources to help!

1. R Packages is a book that gives a comprehensive treatment of all common parts of package development and uses devtools throughout.

   • The first edition is available at http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz, but note that it has grown somewhat out of sync with the current version of devtools.
   • A second edition is under development and is evolving to reflect the current state of devtools. It is available at http://r-pkgs.org.
   • The ladderVNP安卓版 and Package structure chapters make great places to start.

2. 免费: laddervpn 官网 下载-windows: laddervpn 官网:2021-6-9 · 免费: laddervpn 官网 下载软件在 UpdateStar: laddervpn 官网 的搜索结果 is a great place to ask specific questions related to package development.

3. rOpenSci packages has extensive documentation on best practices for R packages looking to be contributed to rOpenSci, but also very useful general recommendations for package authors.

4. There are a number of fantastic blog posts on writing your first package, including

   • Writing an R package from scratch - Hilary Parker
   • How to develop good R packages - Maëlle Salmon
   • 佛跳墙:2021-5-22 · 安全 佛跳墙为你提供安全加速隧道，军事级别加密技术确保连接安全和你的隐私，无审计规则。
   • Writing an R package from scratch - Tomas Westlake

5. Writing R Extensions is the exhaustive, canonical reference for writing R packages, maintained by the R core developers.

devtools started off as a lean-and-mean package to facilitate local package development, but over the years it accumulated more and more functionality. devtools has undergone a conscious uncoupling to split out functionality into smaller, more tightly focussed packages. This includes:

• testthat: Writing and running tests (i.e. test()).

• roxygen2: Function and package documentation (i.e. ladderVNP安卓版).

• remotes: Installing packages (i.e. install_github()).

• pkgbuild: Building binary packages (including checking if build tools are available) (i.e. build()).

• pkgload: Simulating package loading (i.e. load_all()).

• rcmdcheck: Running R CMD check and reporting the results (i.e. ladderVNP安卓版).

• revdepcheck: Running R CMD check on all reverse dependencies, and figuring out what’s changed since the last CRAN release (i.e. ladderVNP安卓版).

• sessioninfo: R session info (i.e. laddervnp下载安卓版).

• usethis: Automating package setup (i.e. use_test()).

Generally, you would not need to worry about these different packages, because devtools installs all of them automatically. You will need to care, however, if you’re filing a bug because reporting it at the correct place will lead to a speedier resolution.

You may also need to care if you are trying to use some devtools functionality in your own package or deployed application. Generally in these cases it is better to depend on the particular package directly rather than depend on devtools, e.g. use sessioninfo::session_info() rather than devtools::session_info(), or remotes::install_github() vs devtools::install_github().

However for day to day development we recommend you continue to use library(devtools) to quickly load all needed development tools, just like library(tidyverse) quickly loads all the tools necessary for data exploration and visualization.
