Overview

This personal package is a place to the store functions and lookups that I have created overtime and may find useful in the future. I started creating it after reading a blog Writing a Personal R Package from Jumping Rivers which encouraged spending time putting your personal library of code in one place within a package.

Writing packages along with their documentation have become easier with the production of a number of packages from RStudio, including devtools, usethis and pkgdown and I have used these packages in developing this personal package. A summary of the use of functions within these packages is provided in Create and update a package document in the information section.

Installation

The package can be installed from GitHub, which also hosts the package site

devtools::install_github("gcfrench/store")

Usage

The information section is the place where my useful documents are stored. These documents provide information and guidance when writing R scripts, for example creating and updating a R package.

The lookups and functions section contain my useful functions and lookup tables. These can be used either directly by installing and loading this package or by copying and pasting the R code from the package’s data-raw or R sub-directories, available from the package’s GitHib pages, into your R script. The functions contain examples within their documentation to demonstrate their use.

The versions section lists the version history of this package, along with a summary of the documents, lookups and functions added.

Links to both my twitter account, where I retweet or like R related tweets posted by other members of the R community or with a #rstats hashtag and the package’s Github pages are provided in the top right hand corner.

Publication

The store package has been published to GitHub pages.
