package.skeleton.dx {inlinedocs}

Package skeleton deluxe

Description

Generates Rd files for a package based on R code and DESCRIPTION metadata. After reading the pkgdir/R/*.R code files to find inline documentation (by default R code in *.r files will not be used for inlinedocs), writes docs to pkgdir/man/*.Rd files, possibly overwriting the previous files there.

Usage

package.skeleton.dx(pkgdir = "..", 
    parsers = NULL, namespace = FALSE, 
    excludePattern = "[.][rsqS]$", 
    verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

pkgdir

Package directory where the DESCRIPTION file lives. Your code should be in pkgdir/R.

parsers

List of Parser functions, which will be applied in sequence to extract documentation from your code. Default NULL means to first search for a definition in the variable "parsers" in pkgdir/R/.inlinedocs.R, if that file exists. If not, we use the list defined in options("inlinedocs.parsers"), if that is defined. If not, we use the package global default in the variable default.parsers.

namespace

A logical indicating whether a NAMESPACE file should be generated for this package. If TRUE, all objects whose name starts with a letter, plus all S4 methods and classes are exported.

excludePattern

A regular expression matching the files that are not to be processed e.g. because inlinedocs can not handle them yet (like generic function definitions). Default value means to only process inlinedocs in .R files. Set excludePattern=NULL to process all code files, e.g. *.r files.

verbose

Examples

owd <- setwd(tempdir())

## get the path to the silly example package that is provided with
## package inlinedocs
testPackagePath <- file.path(system.file(package="inlinedocs"),"silly")
## copy example project to the current unlocked workspace that can
## be modified
file.copy(testPackagePath,".",recursive=TRUE)

## generate documentation .Rd files for this package
package.skeleton.dx("silly")

## check the package to see if generated documentation passes
## without WARNINGs.
if(interactive()){
  cmd <- sprintf("%s CMD check --as-cran silly",file.path(R.home("bin"), "R"))
  print(cmd)
  system(cmd)
}
## cleanup: remove the test package from current workspace again
unlink("silly",recursive=TRUE)
setwd(owd)
