code_chunk: Generate a code chunk

Description

This function creates a code_chunk object that represents code to be displayed in a report. It stores the code of any language (see lang argument) and any specified chunk options (e.g., echo, eval).

Usage

code_chunk(code, ..., lang = "R")

Value

An object of class code_chunk

Arguments

code

(character) The code to be displayed in the code chunk.

...

Additional named parameters to be included as chunk options. These control how the chunk behaves when rendered (e.g., echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE, message = FALSE). See knitr options for available options.

lang

(character(1)) The language of the code chunk. Defaults to "R". See knitr::knit_engines for supported languages (e.g., "python", "bash").

Details

Important Notes:

• The code is not evaluated; it is only stored as text with formatting attributes.

• When converted to output, code_chunk produces markdown code block syntax (```{lang} ... ```) or HTML <pre><code>...</code></pre> blocks.

• The document is not rendered using rmarkdown::render. The code_chunk is part of the teal_card API for building reproducible documents that are produced as-is.

Typical Workflow:

1. Create a code_chunk object with your code and options

2. Add it to a teal_card using teal_card() or c()

3. The card produces the formatted code block in the final document output

Examples

# Basic code chunk with options
code_chunk("x <- 1:10", echo = TRUE, message = FALSE)

# Python code chunk
code_chunk("import pandas as pd", lang = "python", eval = FALSE)

# Code chunk with multiple knitr options
code_chunk(
  "plot(mtcars$mpg, mtcars$hp)",
  echo = TRUE,
  eval = TRUE,
  fig.width = 7,
  fig.height = 5,
  warning = FALSE
)
