Creating a Package in R with RStudio

Question

I created a bunch of files:

• init.r
• auth.r
• class.r
• modules /status.r
• modules /mgmt.r
• modules /core.r
• modules /mcf.r

The source of the init.r file is

# initiation of package # include libraries library(RCurl); library(rjson); # include files source('auth.r'); source('class.r'); # extend class source('modules/status.r'); source('modules/mgmt.r'); source('modules/core.r'); source('modules/mcf.r'); 

How do I create a package from this? The init.r file must first be initiated.

Answer 1

Start with the steps described in this video:

Then read more about the RStudio development service , as well as the Hadley Wickam Fundamentals package .

Answer 2

See Writing R Extensions for the package creation process. You can use package.skeleton to get started.

But essentially

• get rid of your init.r file,
• put all your other .R files in the R directory
• write Depends: RCurl, rjson in your DESCRIPTION file.

Answer 3

1. Create the prerequisites: To create R packages using RStudio, you must have the following prerequisites: P, RStudio, Rtools, Basic MikTex, roxygen2 and devtools.

2. Create an RPackage project in RStudio and add all your R files (init.r, auth.r, class.r, modules / status.r, modules / mgmt.r, modules / core.r, modules / mcf.r) in the R folder of the project.

3. Add documentation by editing the package description file. Create a project, and now your package is ready to use.
