课题组每周研讨会
首先来看一下整个创建R包的基本流程,然后在具体的讲解每一个部分
第一步是确保开发所需要的R包已经安装好了,主要是devtools
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
使用create_package()
函数初始化一个新的package
:
usethis::create_package("~/test/toypackages")
✓ Creating '/Users/macos/test/toypackages/'
✓ Setting active project to '/Users/macos/test/toypackages'
✓ Creating 'R/'
✓ Writing 'DESCRIPTION'
Package: toypackages
Title: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)
Version: 0.0.0.9000
Authors@R (parsed):
* First Last <first.last@example.com> [aut, cre] (YOUR-ORCID-ID)
Description: What the package does (one paragraph).
License: `use_mit_license()`, `use_gpl3_license()` or friends to
pick a license
Encoding: UTF-8
LazyData: true
Roxygen: list(markdown = TRUE)
RoxygenNote: 7.1.1
✓ Writing 'NAMESPACE'
✓ Writing 'toypackages.Rproj'
✓ Adding '.Rproj.user' to '.gitignore'
✓ Adding '^toypackages\\.Rproj$', '^\\.Rproj\\.user$' to '.Rbuildignore'
✓ Opening '/Users/macos/test/toypackages/' in new RStudio session
✓ Setting active project to '<no active project>'
执行这个命令后会自动创建一个新的目录和project
,并打开一个新的Rstudio界面进入该project
我们需要注意这个项目和一般的项目的区别:
在Environment
那个pane多了一个bulid
另外多了一些文件
现在添加第一个函数:使用use_r()
创建一个R/*.R
的文件来存放这个函数:
usethis::use_r("fbind")
✓ Setting active project to '/Users/macos/test/toypackages'
● Modify 'R/fbind.R'
● Call `use_test()` to create a matching test file
use_r
会自动打开一个R脚本文件,现在添加fbind
函数,这个函数将两个因子向量聚合起来:
fbind <- function(a, b) {
factor(c(as.character(a), as.character(b)))
}
然后测试一下这个函数是否工作正常,先使用load_all
来载入我们创建的函数(load_all()
模拟了building, installing, attaching步骤)
> devtools::load_all()
Loading toypackages
> a <- factor(c("character", "hits", "your", "eyeballs"))
> b <- factor(c("but", "integer", "where it", "counts"))
> fbind(a,b)
[1] character hits your eyeballs but integer where it counts
Levels: but character counts eyeballs hits integer where it your
Load_all 快捷键:Ctrl + Shift + L (Windows & Linux) or Cmd + Shift + L (macOS)
另外在添加函数之后,上面的文件结构也会发生变化,多了一个man
文件夹:
我们已经检查过fbind
函数工作正常,那我们怎么确定我们添加这个函数后包的其他部分也运作正常呢?可以使用check
函数自动检查:
> devtools::check()

是因为Non-standard license specification
添加license需要在DESCRIPTION
文件修改,这个文件是提供包的metadata的
默认生成的内容:
Package: toypackages
Title: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)
Version: 0.0.0.9000
Authors@R:
person(given = "First",
family = "Last",
role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "first.last@example.com",
comment = c(ORCID = "YOUR-ORCID-ID"))

Encoding: UTF-8
LazyData: true
Roxygen: list(markdown = TRUE)
RoxygenNote: 7.1.1
现在对其进行修改:加上作者 包的名称 简介等
Package: toypackages

然后就可以用use_mit_license()
来解决刚才的那个警告,加上license,这里使用MIT
license
usethis::use_mit_license("aa bb")
✓ Setting License field in DESCRIPTION to 'MIT + file LICENSE'
✓ Writing 'LICENSE.md'
✓ Adding '^LICENSE\\.md$' to '.Rbuildignore'

可以为函数加上一些帮助文档,文档放在man
文件夹里面后缀是.Rd
是Rmarkdown
文件
写文档的时候可以直接在函数上面以标准格式的形式写注释,再使用roxygen2
包来生成.Rd
文件
打开fbind.R
文件,然后点击Code>Insert roxygen skeleton
(注意,这个时候光标要在函数内部)
就可以插入模板了,可以在此基础上进行修改:
#' Title
#'
#' @param a
#' @param b
#'
#' @return
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
fbind <- function(a, b) {
factor(c(as.character(a), as.character(b)))
}
#' bind two factors
#'
#'Create a new factor from two existing factors, where the new factor's levels
#'are the union of the levels of the input factors.
#'
#' @param a factor
#' @param b factor
#'
#' @return factor
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
#' fbind(iris$Species[c(1, 51, 101)], PlantGrowth$group[c(1, 11, 21)])
fbind <- function(a, b) {
factor(c(as.character(a), as.character(b)))
}
使用document
函数来生成man/fbind.Rd

[1] character hits your eyeballs but integer where it counts
Levels: but character counts eyeballs hits integer where it your
前面对于函数的测试都是非正式和规范的,接下来我们对这个函数做一些正式的单元测试(unit tests)
使用use_testthat()
函数:
library(devtools)
use_testthat()
✓ Setting active project to '/Users/macos/test/toypackages'
✓ Adding 'testthat' to Suggests field in DESCRIPTION
✓ Creating 'tests/testthat/'
✓ Writing 'tests/testthat.R'
● Call `use_test()` to initialize a basic test file and open it for editing.
这个函数做了这些变动:
在DESCRIPTION
中加入了suggests:testthat
:
Package: toypackages
Title: learn how to bulid a package
Version: 0.0.0.9000
Authors@R:
person(given = "aa",
family = "bb",
role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "11111@qq.com",
comment = c(ORCID = "YOUR-ORCID-ID"))
Description: learn how to bulid a package.
License: MIT + file LICENSE
Encoding: UTF-8
LazyData: true
Roxygen: list(markdown = TRUE)
RoxygenNote: 7.1.1
Suggests:
testthat
创建了tests/testthat
文件夹,并且在tests
文件夹里生成了testthat.R
文件:
接下来我们使用use_test()
函数创建一个测试文件:
> use_test("fbind")
✓ Writing 'tests/testthat/test-fbind.R'
● Modify 'tests/testthat/test-fbind.R'
生成的文件tests/testthat/test-fbind.R
中原始内容为:
test_that("multiplication works", {
expect_equal(2 * 2, 4)
})
修改生成的默认文件,写入以下测试内容:
test_that("fbind() binds factor (or character)", {
x <- c("a", "b")
x_fact <- factor(x)
y <- c("c", "d")
z <- factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d"))
expect_identical(fbind(x, y), z)
expect_identical(fbind(x_fact, y), z)
})
进行测试:
> test()

有些时候我们想要在自己的包中调用其他包的函数,可以使用use_package()
函数
比如想要对因子创建排序的频率表,需要引用forcats::fct_count()
:
> use_package("forcats")
✓ Adding 'forcats' to Imports field in DESCRIPTION
● Refer to functions with `forcats::fun()`
这个函数向DESCRIPTION
文件中添加了Imports::forcats
:
Package: toypackages

最后可以use_readme_rmd()
和build_readme()
生成readme
文件,对R包进行说明,包括包的描述;安装;示例
基本的流程是:
create_package
创建一个R包use_r()
写函数,插入roxygen注释和tag,使用document()
生成文档load_all()
载入包use_***_license
添加licenseinstall
安装包use_testthat()
和use_test()
生成测试文件;test()
进行测试check
对整个包进行检查use_readme_rmd()
和build_readme()
生成readme
文件注意包的名称只能包含字母数字和点号(不建议使用点号,可能会和文件拓展名或者S3方法混淆);必须以字母开头并且不能以点号结尾
创建包使用usethis::create_package(path)
函数
如何将之前已经存在的源码包文件夹转化成一个Rstudio项目:
create_package()
参数是已经存在的目录usethis::use_rstudio()
在已经存在的源码包目录内部使用注意在开发的时候,工作路径最好是源码包的top-level
元数据是存储在DESCRIPYION
中,Rstudio和devtools将含有该文件的目录就认为是包目录
初始化的内容(usethis::create_package
):

RoxygenNote: 7.1.1
DESCRIPTION
文件的格式叫做DCF (Debian contral format);每一行都有一个filed名称和值,两者用冒号分开,当值有多行的时候需要缩进
Title
字段一般比较短,只显示65个字符
Version
表示版本号,版本号最少要有2个整数中间用点号或者横线隔开
推荐的格式:
releaesd
版本由3个数字构成:<major>.<minor>.<patch>
0.0.0.9000
Auther@R
字段是作者的信息,是R代码:
Authors@R:
person(given = "First",
family = "Last",
role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "first.last@example.com",
comment = c(ORCID = "YOUR-ORCID-ID"))
person
函数有4个主要的参数:
given
在前(名),family
在后(姓)email
地址role
有四个:
cre
creator or maintainer 有问题时应该联系额人aut
对包贡献最大的人ctb
贡献者cph
copyright holder 如果版权是作者以外的人或机构,要注明Description
是对包的描述,每行不超过80个字符,行间使用4个空格分开
license
字段可以是开源许可或者是一个文件file LICENCE
开源许可一般有3个:
DESCRIPTION
中会列出我们的R包需要依赖的R包
描述依赖用的是Imports
和Suggests
:
Imports:
pkgname
Suggests:
pkgname
两者的区别:
Imports
描述的是包工作所必需的包,在我们的包被安装的时候,如果这些包之前没有被安装,这个时候会被安装
Suggests
不是必需安装的,可能在示例数据,运行测试,创建vignettes或者包里面只有少量函数使用这些包,所以我们要在需要这些包的函数里面检查这些包是否安装(requireNamesapce(x,quietly=TRUE)
):
最简单的方式去添加Imports
和suggests
就是使用usethis::use_package()
:
use_package(package, type = "Imports", min_version = NULL)
type参数指定是Imports
还是Suggests
,min_version参数指定包的最低版本
还有其他的fields可以用来表述依赖:
Depends
在R2.14之前只有这一种方法来表示依赖LinkingTo
在这里列出的包依赖于其他包的C或者C++代码Enhances
在这里列出的包可以被我们的包增强当R调用一个函数的时候,会先在全局环境中搜索,如果没有在去search path中搜索
search path 是attached的包列表,可以通过search
函数来获得当前的search path:
> search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv" "tools:rstudio" "package:stats" "package:graphics"
[5] "package:grDevices" "package:utils" "package:datasets" "package:methods"
[9] "Autoloads" "package:base"
> library(tidyverse)
─ Attaching packages ───────────────────────── tidyverse 1.3.0 ─
✓ ggplot2 3.3.2 ✓ purrr 0.3.4
✓ tibble 3.0.3 ✓ dplyr 1.0.0
✓ tidyr 1.1.0 ✓ stringr 1.4.0
✓ readr 1.3.1 ✓ forcats 0.5.0
─ Conflicts ────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ─

[13] "package:graphics" "package:grDevices" "package:utils" "package:datasets"
[17] "package:methods" "Autoloads" "package:base"
load和attach的区别:
.onLoad
load后包会在内存中,但是不在search path里面所有只有通过::
才能使用包的元素(::也会自动载入包);也可以使用requireNamespace()
or loadNamespace()
来载入包library()
和require
都会先load包再attachDepends
和Imports
的唯一的区别就是Depends
attach包;而Imports
只load包;一般情况下只需在Imports
里面列出需要的包,写函数的时候使用::
来获取需要的函数;另外Imports
或者Depends
里面的包在安装的时候如果没有安装会自动安装,确保我们可以使用::
在DESCRIPTION
中还可以使用URL
字段提供额外的网址,使用BugReports
提供错误报告额网址:
URL: https://yihui.name/knitr/
BugReports: https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues
man/
标准方法是在man/
文件夹下写.Rd
文件,再渲染成HTML和PDF;但是可以使用roxygen2
可以将特定格式的注释转化成.Rd
文件,roxygen2
除了生成.Rd
文件外还可以更改NAMESPACE
和DESVRIPTION
中的Collate
字段
基本的流程有4步:
.R
文件中devtools::document()
(或者使用快捷键:Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D)将注释转化成.Rd
文件?
预览文档举个例子:
use_r("add")
#' Add together two numbers
#'
#' @param x A number.
#' @param y A number.
#' @return The sum of \code{x} and \code{y}.
#' @examples
#' add(1, 1)
#' add(10, 1)
add <- function(x, y) {
x + y
}
devtools::document()
现在man/add.Rd
文件就生成了:
% Generated by roxygen2: do not edit by hand
% Please edit documentation in R/add.R
\name{add}
\alias{add}
\title{Add together two numbers}
\usage{
add(x, y)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{A number.}
\item{y}{A number.}
}
\value{
The sum of \code{x} and \code{y}.
}
\description{
Add together two numbers
}
\examples{
add(1, 1)
add(10, 1)
}
使用?
就可以调出文档界面:
?add
可以使用Rstudio的install&Restart
功能(bulid里面),他会完全重建包,包括更新所有的文档,安装包,重启R并且重新载入我们的包;进行这个操作后我们再?
一下
点击index
就会到显示所有函数的页面:
Roxygen注释以#'
开头,并且在函数的前面;所有在函数前面的roxygen行叫做一个block
,每一行不超过80个字符
block
被拆分成不同的tags
,格式为:@tagName details
; tag的内容包括一个tag名称后到下一个tag起始
因为@
在tag里有特殊含义,所以当文档中出现@
的时候要用@@
来表示(比如email或者S4对象的slots)
每一个block在第一个tag前会包含一些文字,这部分叫做introduction
,会被特殊地解析:
可以使用@section
tag加其他的信息,section的title必须是句子以冒号结尾如:
#' @section Warning:
#' Do not operate heavy machinery within 8 hours of using this function.
还有两个有用的tag:
@seealso
可以导向其他的内容,如
\url{https://www.r-project.org}
\code{\link{functioname}}
\code{\link[packagename]{functioname}}
还有一些tag
可以方便用户找到文档:
@aliases alias1 alias2 ...
添加额外的别名,可以使用?@keywords keyword1 keyword2 ...
添加关键词注意 名称和描述也可以加上tag,@title
和@description
,但是一般不用加
大部分函数有3个tag: @param
, @examples
@return
@param name description
@param
参数后面接参数的名称和描述;描述必须以大写字母开头,点号结尾,可以是多行甚至多段;也可以同时对多个参数进行说明,用逗号隔开如:@param x,y Numeric vectors.
@examples
提供如何使用这个函数的R代码,可以使用\dontrun{}
来包含会报错的代码;还可以将示例放到另外的文件夹中,并使用@example path/relative/to/package/root
来插入,注意这种用法是@example
没有s
@return description
对输出的描述下面是sum
函数的例子:
#' Sum of vector elements
#'
#' \code{sum} returns the sum of all the values present in its arguments.
#'
#' This is a generic function: methods can be defined for it directly
#' or via the \code{\link{Summary}} group generic. For this to work properly,
#' the arguments \code{...} should be unnamed, and dispatch is on the
#' first argument.
#'
#' @param ... Numeric, complex, or logical vectors.
#' @param na.rm A logical scalar. Should missing values (including NaN)

有3个主要的方法可以在包中包含数据:
data/
文件夹中,这是放示例数据的最好的地方R/sysdata.rda
,这些数据可以是函数运行所需要的inst/extdata
里面data/
文件夹中应该是.Rdata
格式,含有单个对象,并且名字和文件名是一样的,可以使用usthis::use_data()
来创建
> x <- sample(1000)
> usethis::use_data(x, mtcars)
✓ Adding 'R' to Depends field in DESCRIPTION
✓ Creating 'data/'
✓ Saving 'x', 'mtcars' to 'data/x.rda', 'data/mtcars.rda'
● Document your data (see 'https://r-pkgs.org/data.html')
如果在DESCRIPTION
文件中含有LazyData: true
的时候,这些数据只在使用的时候才会load,使用 usethis::create_package()
会自动加上
在data/
文件夹中的数据是处理后的数据,可以保留产生这些数据的原始数据(存放在data-raw
中)和代码,可以使用usethis::use_data_raw()
来完成,这个函数创建一个文件夹data-raw
和DATASET.R
文件,另外要注意在.Rbuildignore
中加上这些原始数据,以便在build包中忽略这些文件:
usethis::use_data_raw()
✓ Creating 'data-raw/'
✓ Writing 'data-raw/DATASET.R'
● Modify 'data-raw/DATASET.R'
● Finish the data preparation script in 'data-raw/DATASET.R'
● Use `usethis::use_data()` to add prepared data to package
对这些数据进行docment的时候,是对这些数据的名称进行说明,并存放到R/
目录下,比如在ggplot2
包中对diamonds
数据的说明存放在R/data.R
中:
#' Prices of 50,000 round cut diamonds.
#'
#' A dataset containing the prices and other attributes of almost 54,000
#' diamonds.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 53940 rows and 10 variables:
#' \describe{
#' \item{price}{price, in US dollars}
#' \item{carat}{weight of the diamond, in carats}
#' ...
#' }
#' @source \url{http://www.diamondse.info/}
"diamonds"
对数据进行document有额外的两个tag
:
@format
是对数据的overview,包含对每个变量的说明@source
是对数据来源的说明,通常是网址\url{}
R/sysdata.rda
的数据是函数所需的数据,可以使用usethis::use_data()
函数,但是要加上internal = TRUE
参数:
x <- sample(1000)
usethis::use_data(x, mtcars, internal = TRUE)
✓ Saving 'x', 'mtcars' to 'R/sysdata.rda'
除了对函数,数据进行说明之外,也可以为整个包提供一个帮助页面,这个页面可以通过类似package?dplyr
调出
对包进行document的时候,由于包没有相关联的对象,所以我们需要documentNULL
然后再用tag @docType package
和 @name <package-name>
来标记,也可以加section tag:
#' foo: A package for computating the notorious bar statistic
#'
#' The foo package provides three categories of important functions:
#' foo, bar and baz.
#'
#' @section Foo functions:
#' The foo functions ...
#'
#' @docType package
#' @name foo
NULL
#> NULL
对于不同的对象系统的类,泛型函数和方法的document有差别
tests/
自动化测试主要使用的包是testthat
初始设置使用usethis::use_testthat()
这个函数做了一下三件事:
tests/testthat
文件夹testthat
加到DESRIPTION
里面的Suggests
字段tests/testthat.R
文件基本流程是:
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T
或者devtools::test()
来测试包测试文件是在tests/testthat/
里面,并且文件的名称要以test
开头,下面是stringr
包的一个test文件
context("String length")
library(stringr)
test_that("str_length is number of characters", {
expect_equal(str_length("a"), 1)
expect_equal(str_length("ab"), 2)
expect_equal(str_length("abc"), 3)
})
#> Test passed 😀
test_that("str_length of factor is length of level", {
expect_equal(str_length(factor("a")), 1)
expect_equal(str_length(factor("ab")), 2)
expect_equal(str_length(factor("abc")), 3)
})
#> Test passed 🌈
test_that("str_length of missing is missing", {
expect_equal(str_length(NA), NA_integer_)
expect_equal(str_length(c(NA, 1)), c(NA, 1))
expect_equal(str_length("NA"), 2)
})
#> Test passed 😀
测试是分层的: expectations→tests→files
expect_
开头的函数test_that
开头context()
开头所有的expectation有相似的结构:
expect_
开头最重要的expectation函数有:
测试相等:expect_equal()
和expect_identical()
expect_equal()
是基于all.equal()
的,而expect_identical()
是基于identical
,所以前者是估计的,后者是精确的:
expect_equal(10, 10 + 1e-7)
expect_identical(10, 10 + 1e-7)
#错误: 10 not identical to 10 + 1e-07.
#Objects equal but not identical
expect_match
是基于grepl
string <- c("Testing is fun!","abc")
# expect_match(string, "Testing")
# 错误: `string` does not match "Testing".
# Actual values:
# * Testing is fun!
# * abc
expect_match(string, "Testing",all = FALSE)
# Fails, match is case-sensitive
expect_match(string, "testing")
# Additional arguments are passed to grepl:
expect_match(string, "testing", ignore.case = TRUE,all = FALSE)
还有几个expect_match()
的变体:expect_output()
匹配输出;expect_message()
检查信息;expect_warning()
检查warning;expect_error()
检查错误
a <- list(1:10, letters)
str(a)
# List of 2
# $ : int [1:10] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
# $ : chr [1:26] "a" "b" "c" "d" ...
expect_output(str(a), "List of 2")
expect_output(str(a), "int \\[1:10\\]")
## or
expect_output(str(a), "int [1:10]",fixed=TRUE)
expect_message(library(mgcv), "This is mgcv")
expect_is()
检查某个对象是不是继承自一个特定的类:
model <- lm(mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars)
class(model)
#[1] "lm"
expect_is(model, "lm")
expect_is(model, "glm")
#错误: `model` inherits from `lm` not `glm`.
expect_true()
and expect_false()
当没有其他的expectation可用时使用
使用test_that
来写测试,这个函数有两个参数:第一个是test的名称(一句话描述),第二个是测试代码块,以{}
括起来,由多个expectations
组成
使用context
写一个简短的介绍文件中的测试内容
roxytest
roxytest
以roxygen2注释的形式来写测试,可以自动生成tests/testthat/
里的测试文件(.R)
需要首先在DESCRIPTION
文件中加入以下的内容:
Roxygen: list(roclets = c("namespace", "rd",
"roxytest::testthat_roclet",
"roxytest::param_roclet",
"roxytest::return_roclet"))
#' bind two factors
#'
#'Create a new factor from two existing factors, where the new factor's levels
#'are the union of the levels of the input factors.
#'
#' @param a factor
#' @param b factor
#'
#' @return factor
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
#' fbind(iris$Species[c(1, 51, 101)], PlantGrowth$group[c(1, 11, 21)])
#'
#' @tests
#' x <- c("a", "b")
#' x_fact <- factor(x)
#' y <- c("c", "d")
#' z <- factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d"))
#' expect_identical(fbind(x, y), z)
#' expect_identical(fbind(x_fact, y), z)
fbind <- function(a, b) {
factor(c(as.character(a), as.character(b)))
}
可以使用@tests
和@testexamples
tag来在注释中写测试代码
再运行roxygen2::roxygenise()
就会在tests/testthat/
下面生成一个test-roxytest-tests-fbind
文件:
# Generated by roxytest: Do not edit by hand!
context("File R/fbind.R: @tests")
test_that("Function fbind() @ L27", {
x <- c("a", "b")
x_fact <- factor(x)
y <- c("c", "d")
z <- factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d"))
expect_identical(fbind(x, y), z)
expect_identical(fbind(x_fact, y), z)
})
Namespace就是给名字提供一个空间,比如我们在使用::
的时候:已知plyr
和Hmisc
包都含有summarize
这个函数,如果我们先载入了plyr
再载入了Hmisc
那么在使用summarize
的时候就会在Hmisc
的namespace中寻找summarize
;相反,如果先载入Hmisc
,那么就会使用plyr
中的summarize
函数,所以为了避免混淆,我们需要使用::
来指定搜索的namespace
在NAMESPACE
文件中主要使用imports
和exports
imports 将外部的(其他包中)的函数导入
exports 规定哪些函数在包外部可用
下面是testthat
包的NAMESPACE
的一个片段:
# Generated by roxygen2 (4.0.2): do not edit by hand
S3method(as.character,expectation)
S3method(compare,character)
export(auto_test)
export(auto_test_package)
export(colourise)
export(context)
exportClasses(ListReporter)
exportClasses(MinimalReporter)
importFrom(methods,setRefClass)
useDynLib(testthat,duplicate_)
useDynLib(testthat,reassign_function)
NAMESPACE
里的每一行都是一个指令,描述了一个R对象,是从我们的包导出给外部使用,还是从其他的包导入供我们使用
一共有8个namesapce指令,4个表示exports,4个表示imports
4个exports为:
export()
: 导出函数,包括S3 S4泛型函数.exportPattern()
: 导出可以匹配模式的所有函数exportClasses()
, exportMethods()
: 导出所有S4类和方法S3method()
: 导出S3方法4个imports为:
import()
: 导入一个包的所有函数importFrom()
: 导入选择的函数(包括S4泛型函数)importClassesFrom()
, importMethodsFrom()
: 导入S4类和方法useDynLib()
: 从C导入一个函数这些都是不需要手动改的,可以使用roxygen2
来生成
基本流程是:
生成namespace和生成函数的document是一样的,在R代码前面使用roxygen块(以#'
开头)和tags(以@
开头)
基本流程为:
.R
文件前面加上roxygen注释devtools::document()
或者使用快捷键Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D
将注释转化为.Rd
文件NAMESPACE
,运行test确保正确要export一个对象,需要在roxgen注释块里面加上@export
标签,如:
#' @export
foo <- function(x, y, z) {
...
}
注意DESCIPRTION
中的Imports
字段和NAMESPACE
中的import()
命令的区别:
Imports
字段只是确保当我们的包被安装的时候这些包也被安装了,并没有使函数可用,如果想要用这些函数就需要使用::
或者import
命令来导入函数,所以所有被NAMESPACE
提到的包必须在DESCIPRTION
的Imports
或者Depends
字段中
如果我们使用来自其他包的少量函数,建议是在DESCRIPYION
文件的Imports
字段中包含包的名称,再使用::
来调用函数,而如果我们需要重复使用函数,这个时候使用::
就不太方便,可以使用@importFrom pkg fun
的形式来导入,另外这种方法也有性能上的一些优势:::
会多用大概5微秒的时间;我们也可以使用类似的方法导入操作符如:@importFrom magrittr %>%
(其实也是一种函数);如果我们需要使用另一个包的大量函数,可以使用@import package
来导入另一个包的所有函数;另外要使得我们包中每个函数都可以使用外部包的函数,就需要对NULL
加上注释:
#' @importFrom pkg fun
NULL
usethis::use_tidyeval 在R包中使用非标准计算
在包中使用管道符%>%
可以使用usethis::use_pipe
> use_pipe(export = TRUE)
✓ Adding 'magrittr' to Imports field in DESCRIPTION
✓ Writing 'R/utils-pipe.R'
● Run `devtools::document()` to update 'NAMESPACE'
这个函数将magrittr
包加到DESCRIPTION
的Imports
字段里面;生成R/utils-pipe.R
文件;将管道符import,如果设置export=TRUE
,可以使得管道符在外部可用(不需要用户再去导入magrittr
包了)
#' Pipe operator
#'
#' See \code{magrittr::\link[magrittr:pipe]{\%>\%}} for details.
#'
#' @name %>%
#' @rdname pipe
#' @keywords internal
#' @export
#' @importFrom magrittr %>%
#' @usage lhs \%>\% rhs
NULL
