32 devtools package

Provides functions to simplify development

Documentation: The R devtools package

load_all("pkg")
document("pkg")
test("pkg")
install("pkg")
build("pkg")

other tips for devtools (from the documentation):

• Adding the following to your ~/.Rprofile will load devtools when running R in interactive mode:

# load devtools by default
if (interactive()) {
  suppressMessages(require(devtools))
}

• Adding the following to your .Rpackages will allow devtools to recognize package by folder name, rather than directory path

# in this example, devhome is the pecan trunk directory 
devhome <- "/home/dlebauer/R-dev/pecandev/"
list(
    default = function(x) {
      file.path(devhome, x, x)
    }, 
  "utils" = paste(devhome, "pecandev/utils", sep = "")
  "common" = paste(devhome, "pecandev/common", sep = "")
  "all" = paste(devhome, "pecandev/all", sep = "")
  "ed" = paste(devhome, "pecandev/models/ed", sep = "")
  "uncertainty" = paste(devhome, "modules/uncertainty", sep = "")
  "meta.analysis" = paste(devhome, "modules/meta.analysis", sep = "")
  "db" = paste(devhome, "db", sep = "")
)

Now, devtools can take pkg as an argument instead of /path/to/pkg/, e.g. so you can use build("pkg") instead of build("/path/to/pkg/")
