starter (development version)

starter 0.1.16

• Resubmitting to CRAN to address a NOTE about HTML manual builds.

starter 0.1.15

• The {stringr} package was added to Suggests due to upcoming changes in the {rmarkdown} package. (#47, @yihui)

starter 0.1.14

• Removed dependency on the {here} package and replaced with {rprojroot}.

starter 0.1.13

• Added mustWork = FALSE argument to a normalizePath() call to avoid warning when path_data= is not a local folder (e.g. no warnings when a SharePoint location is passed for the data location).

starter 0.1.12

• Removed browser() that was left in the package from a previous debugging session.

starter 0.1.11

• Removed {usethis} dependency. Moved {fs} and {readr} from 'Imports' to 'Suggests'.

• Environment update to ensure function runs without error when create_project() asks about over-writing an existing file.

• Updated messaging symbols when symbolic link is placed (#37)

starter 0.1.10

• Updated the sample .Rprofile template file with improved checking of the renv project status before messaging users. Previously, we checked the installed packages for the project; if no packages (except renv) were installed, the user saw a message about hydrating the package. But this message would appear each time an existing project was cloned to a new machine where renv::restore() had yet to be run. We now check the renv.lock file for the recorded packages instead of installed packages. (#27)

• Removed {tibble}, {stringr}, and {purrr} dependencies.

• Better messaging when placing a project skeleton into a folder that is already a git repo: users won't be asked if they want to create a git repo when it already exists. (#26)

• Exporting the project templates in project_templates. project_templates[["default"]] is a simple example of template usage, and project_templates[["analysis"]] is a template including scripts to prepare an analysis project. (#28)

starter 0.1.9

• Added {{folder_first_word}} to objects available to use in the project templates. Evaluates to the first "word" in the folder name, where the word separator is either a space or hyphen.

• Added create_project(renv.settings=) argument.

• No longer using renv::scaffold(settings = list(snapshot.type = 'all')) as the default.

• Improved messaging in the default .Rprofile template file to finish setting up the renv project.

starter 0.1.8

• Fix for the use_project_file() function when the template has an element that evaluates to NULL (which resulted in an indexing error). (#19)

starter 0.1.7

• Allowing users to use their template to override function arguments in create_project(). This way, if the user never uses git, for example, this can be communicated in the template, rather than needing to change the function argument every time.

• Added create_project(symlink=) argument indicating whether or not to place a symbolic link to the folder indicated in create_project(path_data=).

• Updated .Rprofile start-up message for new repositories to include the renv::snapshot() step.

starter 0.1.6

• Updated create_symlink() to pass the full path to R.utils::createLink(link=) instead of just the folder name. This solves an issue when creating symbolic links without full admin rights.

starter 0.1.5

• Default snapshot type is now 'all'.

• Removed 'rstudioapi' package dependency.

• Bug fix in create_project(overwrite=) where existing files were not being prompted with inquiry whether to overwrite.

• Documentation updates.

starter 0.1.4

• Documentation updates and tidying up for CRAN submission.

• Removed path normalization RStudio add-in.

starter 0.1.3

• No longer tracking the latest release of the rstudio.prefs package on GitHub, because it causes an issue with renv.

starter 0.1.2

• Now evaluating the template attribute "script_path" to allow users to quote the file location.

starter 0.1.1

• When create_project(renv = TRUE), renv::init() has been switched to renv::scaffold(). This stops renv from initializing the project. The user must call renv::hydrate() in order to discover the packages used in the project's *.R and *.Rmd files and have them added to the renv.lock file.

• When a user specifies an attribute to the template list called "script_path", the path is sourced.

starter 0.1.0

• First release
