Description

Turn your R code into packages that others can easily download and use. This practical book shows you how to bundle reusable R functions, sample data, and documentation together by applying creator Hadley Wickham’s package development philosophy. In the process, you’ll work with devtools, roxygen, and testthat, a set of R packages that automate common development tasks. Devtools encapsulates best practices that Hadley has learned from years of working with this programming language.

Ideal for developers, data scientists, and programmers with more than a few backgrounds, this book starts you with the basics and shows you how to strengthen your package writing over time. You’ll learn how to focus on what you need your package to do, quite than consider package structure.

  • Learn about the most useful components of an R package, including vignettes and unit tests
  • Automate anything you’ll be able to, making the most of the years of development experience embodied in devtools
  • Get tips on good style, such as organizing functions into files
  • Streamline your development process with devtools
  • Learn one of the simplest ways to submit your package to the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN)
  • Learn from a well-respected member of the R community who created 30 R packages, including ggplot2, dplyr, and tidyr
