create {devtools}

R Documentation

Creates a new package, following all devtools package conventions.

Description

Similar to package.skeleton, except that it only creates the standard devtools directory structures; it doesn't try and create source code and data files by inspecting the global environment.

Usage

create(path, description = getOption("devtools.desc"), check = FALSE,
  rstudio = TRUE, quiet = FALSE)

setup(path = ".", description = getOption("devtools.desc"), check = FALSE,
  rstudio = TRUE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

`path`	location to create new package. The last component of the path will be used as the package name.
`description`	list of description values to override default values or add additional values.
`check`	if `TRUE`, will automatically run `check`
`rstudio`	Create an RStudio project file? (with `use_rstudio`)
`quiet`	if `FALSE`, the default, prints informative messages.

Details

create requires that the directory doesn't exist yet; it will be created but deleted upon failure. setup assumes an existing directory from which it will infer the package name.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Create a package using all defaults:
path <- file.path(tempdir(), "myDefaultPackage")
create(path)

# Override a description attribute.
path <- file.path(tempdir(), "myCustomPackage")
my_description <- list("Maintainer" =
  "'Yoni Ben-Meshulam' <yoni@opower.com>")
create(path, my_description)

## End(Not run)
