datapackage_skeleton(
  name = NULL,
  path = ".",
  force = FALSE,

  r_object_names = character(),
  raw_data_dir = character(),
  dependencies = character()
)

character name of the package to create.

path

A character path where the package is located. See package.skeleton

Examples

if(rmarkdown::pandoc_available()){
f <- tempdir()
f <- file.path(f,"foo.Rmd")
con <- file(f)
writeLines("```{r}\n tbl = data.frame(1:10) \n```\n",con=con)
close(con)
pname <- basename(tempfile())
datapackage_skeleton(name = pname,
   path = tempdir(),
   force = TRUE,
   r_object_names = "tbl",
   code_files = f)
   }
