In ijlyttle/projthis: Lightweight Framework for Analysis Development

projthis 0.0.0 (development version)

• Update package infrastructure to use newer actions, no change (yet) to actions offered to users. (#54)

• Feature: you can specify the rendering order of .Rmd files in a workflow by using _projthis.yml file in the workflow directory; see proj_workflow_render() for details. Added internal function proj_workflow_config() to support. (#52)

• For Actions template, set option() for package installation such that source packages are never compiled if there is an earlier binary version available. This seems avoid installation-related Actions failures, at the price of waiting a few days for the most-recent version. (#50)

• Added function proj_refresh_deps(), which calls proj_update_deps() then proj_install_deps(). (#46)

• By default, proj_update_deps() will not remove extra package-dependency declarations from DESCRIPTION; this can be changed by using remove_extra = TRUE. (#45)

• Added function to render .Rmd file in a new R session: proj_rmd_render(); now used by proj_workflow_render(). (#42)

• Expansion of ambitions (#20):

• Added functions to manage around workflows:

  • proj_use_workflow(): creates a workflow directory with a README.Rmd.
  • proj_workflow_use_rmd(): from a template, creates an RMarkdown file.
  • proj_workflow_render(): renders, sequentially, all the RMarkdown files in a workflow.
  • proj_workflow_use_action(): from a template, installs a GitHub Action to run a workflow; removes proj_use_github_action().

• Added functions to manage within workflows:

  • proj_create_target_dir(): creates an empty target-directory, a directory dedicated to the output of a single RMarkdown file.
  • proj_path_source(): creates a function to access paths in source directories.
  • proj_path_target(): creates a function to access paths in the target-directory.
  • proj_dir_info(): provides a more-concise version of the output from fs::dir_info().

• Added proj_use_github_action() to install a GitHub Actions template. (#10)

• Added proj_install_deps() to install a project's package-dependencies. (#8)

• Added proj_create() to create a project. (#6)

• Added proj_use_description() to add a DESCRIPION file to a project. (#4)

• Added proj_check_deps() and proj_update_deps() to manage dependencies. (#2)

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
