Create a package of personal toolbox

Prerequisite

• Read a short tutorial of building R packages, such as this one.

It is not necessary to finish reading the Hadley Wickham’s whole book, R package, before you start the project.

Requirement

Objective: Build an R package containing your frequently used R code.

Here is an example from Yihui Xie.

Rule: Don’t look at the example project’s code. Figure it out for yourself first.

Use whichever libraries you need. Give it your own personal style.

• I can use functions in the package after installing it.
• The functions in the package work as I expected.

Optional:

• I upload the package to GitHub.
• I create a GitHub README.md to instruct people how to install my R package from GitHub.
• I write instructions on how to use my package on README.md or a post on the personal blog or a website dedicated to the package.

Remember to ask questions in Discord if you get stuck.

Advanced

• After reading each chapter of the book R package, I revisit my package and polish it.
