beep_with: Play short sounds
In catchr: Taking the Pain Out of Catching and Handling Conditions

Description Usage Arguments See Also Examples

If you have the beepr package installed, catchr can use it to play sounds when certain conditions are being handled with beep_with(), similar to how beep works. But unlike beep and most catchr functions or special reserved terms, beep_with() is meant to be used as a user-defined function in a plan. It is particularly useful for when you're working with futures and busy doing something else while code is running in the background, or when you're working in a different window and want something to grab your attention.

beep_with can be used at the "top" level of a plan, since it returns a function (which is required custom input for a catchr plan) that will play the beeping sound you've specified.

1	beep_with(beepr_sound)

beepr_sound

A character string or number specifying the sound to be played. See the sound argument in beepr::beep() documentation.

the beep special term, which will play the default beep; user_exit() and exit_with() for parallel functions for the exit special term, and user_display() and display_with() for parallel functions for the display special term.

warning_in_middle <- function() {
  message("It's time!")
  Sys.sleep(1)
  invisible("done")
}

if (requireNamespace("beepr", quietly = TRUE) == TRUE) {
  catch_expr(warning_in_middle(),
             message = c(beep_with(2), display, muffle))
  # Or you can just use the default sound with "beep":
  # catch_expr(warning_in_middle(), message = c(beep, display, muffle))
}
