These functions create an R project:
create_package()
creates an R package
create_project()
creates a non-package project, i.e. a data analysis
project
Both functions can add project infrastructure to an existing directory of
files or can create a completely new project. Both functions change the
active project, so that subsequent use_*()
calls affect the project
that you've just created. See proj_set()
to manually reset it.
create_package(path, fields = NULL,
rstudio = rstudioapi::isAvailable(), open = interactive())create_project(path, rstudio = rstudioapi::isAvailable(),
open = interactive())
A path. If it exists, it is used. If it does not exist, it is created, provided that the parent path exists.
A named list of fields to add to DESCRIPTION, potentially
overriding default values. See use_description()
for how you can set
personalized defaults using package options
If TRUE
, calls use_rstudio()
to make the new package or
project into an RStudio Project.
If FALSE
and a non-package project, a sentinel .here
file is placed so
that the directory can be recognized as a project by the
here or
rprojroot packages.
If TRUE
and in RStudio, a new RStudio project is opened in a
new instance, if possible, or is switched to, otherwise. If TRUE
and not
in RStudio (or new project is not an RStudio project), working directory is
set to the new project.
