In-development help for package loaded with devtools

Description

dev_help() searches for source documentation provided in packages loaded by devtools. To improve performance, the .Rd files are parsed to create to index once, then cached. Use dev_topic_index_reset() to clear that index. You can manually retrieve the index for a local package with dev_topic_index().

Usage

dev_help(
  topic,
  dev_packages = NULL,
  stage = "render",
  type = getOption("help_type")
)

dev_topic_find(topic, dev_packages = NULL)

dev_topic_index(path = ".")

dev_topic_index_reset(pkg_name)

Arguments

topic	name of help to search for.
dev_packages	A character vector of package names to search within. If NULL, defaults to all packages loaded by devtools.
stage	at which stage ("build", "install", or "render") should ⁠\\Sexpr⁠ macros be executed? This is only important if you're using ⁠\\Sexpr⁠ macro's in your Rd files.
type	of html to produce: "html" or "text". Defaults to your default documentation type.
path	Path to package.
pkg_name	Name of package.

Examples

## Not run: 
library("ggplot2")
help("ggplot") # loads installed documentation for ggplot
