available

available helps you name your R package.

• Checks for validity
• Checks not already available on GitHub, CRAN and Bioconductor
• Searches Urban Dictionary, Wiktionary and Wikipedia for unintended meanings
• Can suggest possible names based on text in the package title or description.

Installation

You can install available from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/available")

Examples

Generate new package names from titles

library(available)
suggest(title = "Client for New York Times APIs")
#> [1] "times"

suggest(title = "An R Interface to SciDB")
#> [1] "scidb"

Rstudio Support

In order to have color in the RStudio terminal you need a daily build of RStudio and development versions of the rstudioapi and crayon packages.

devtools::install_github("rstudio/rstudioapi")
devtools::install_github("gaborcsardi/crayon")
