In Phioria/phior:

phior

phior is a small collection of functions that are useful to me in my day to day development:

clr() is a short alias to clearing the global environment
cls() clears the console if interactive
get_desktop() returns the system desktop directory if findable
get_home() returns the system home directory
reload() clears the global environment, then documents and reloads the R package defined in setup_reload() and then sets the working directory
setup_reload() writes a small settings file that stores the directories used by reload()
setwd_to_file() sets the working directory to the directory the script is saved in

You can install the development version of phior from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Phioria/phior")

reload(clear_env = TRUE) is simply a wrapper around devtools::load_all() and Rcpp::compileAttributes(). When making changes to a package that uses both R and Rcpp, it became tedious to clear the environment, set the working directory to the package directory, run compileAttributes(), document(), load_all(), and then change back to the directory I was previously working in. This does that all in one step. In order to work, setup_reload() needs to be run once in order to save your package and working directories. By default, reload() clears the global environment, but this can be disabled with the parameter clear_env = FALSE. reload() quietly assumes it should run compileAttributes() if Rcpp is installed. If the package isn’t using Rcpp, it just returns FALSE with no changes made.
setup_reload(package_dir, working_dir) creates a one line text file called .reloader in the user’s home directory. This stores the package and working directories currently being used for reload(). If you start working on a different package, or you change the directory you’re testing/working in, you will need to run setup_reload() again.
