In quartin/renamer: Rename numbered R scripts

renamer

Quickly add a new script to a workflow by automatically renumbering the existing scripts.

Installation

devtools::install_github("quartin/renamer")

Description

When files need to be run in sequence it is good practice to prefix them with numbers. This package makes it easier to add a script to the middle of an existing workflow without the need to manually renumber the all the scripts.

Example

> library("renamer")

Start by adding a few workflow scripts...

> add_script("01-import_data.R")
> add_script("02-clean_data.R")
> add_script("03-explore_data.R")

We now remember we need to add an initial configuration file...

> add_script("01-config.R")
Error in add_script("01-config.R") : 
  Script number in 01-config.R clashes with 01-import_data.R. Set renumber flag to TRUE to renumber scripts.

Since this can be a pretty drastic change, in case of conflict we need to set the renumber flag to TRUE:

> add_script("01-config.R", renumber = TRUE)
