documenteR

An RStudio addin that builds the skeleton of documentation for an R function or dataframe using roxygen2 syntax.

This addin has been modified from @mdlincoln’s docthis to fit more with Hadley’s notes on documenting R packages.

Installation

devtools::install_github("sdhutchins/documenteR")

Examples

IF you’ve witten a function but haven’t created documentation for it, select the function tile, and call the “Document an object” addin, which will paste in skeleton roxygen2 documentation above your function definition:

Document a function

#' @title FUNCTION_TITLE
#'
#' @description FUNCTION_DESCRIPTION
#'
#' @param formula DESCRIPTION.
#' @param data DESCRIPTION.
#' @param subset DESCRIPTION.
#' @param weights DESCRIPTION.
#' @param na.action DESCRIPTION.
#' @param method DESCRIPTION.
#' @param model DESCRIPTION.
#' @param x DESCRIPTION.
#' @param y DESCRIPTION.
#' @param qr DESCRIPTION.
#' @param singular.ok DESCRIPTION.
#' @param contrasts DESCRIPTION.
#' @param offset DESCRIPTION.
#' @param ... DESCRIPTION.
#'
#' @return RETURN DESCRIPTION
#' @export

Document a dataframe

This will also work for a data.frame, which you should be thoroughly documenting in R/data.R. Highlight the name of your data.frame and call the addin.

#' DATASET_TITLE
#'
#' DATASET_DESCRIPTION
#'
#' @format A data frame with 150 rows and 5 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{\code{Sepal.Length}}{double. DESCRIPTION.}
#'   \item{\code{Sepal.Width}}{double. DESCRIPTION.}
#'   \item{\code{Petal.Length}}{double. DESCRIPTION.}
#'   \item{\code{Petal.Width}}{double. DESCRIPTION.}
#'   \item{\code{Species}}{integer. DESCRIPTION.}
#' }
