Develop an R package within an hour

Now you know how to build and share an R package.

Potential next steps include:

  • Creating package documentation (e.g. vignettes)
  • Creating a hex logo (e.g. with hexmake)
  • Creating a package website (e.g. with pkgdown)
  • Checking the FAIR-ness of your package (e.g. with howfairis, or BadgeApp)
  • Checking the code coverage of your package (e.g. with Codecov)
  • Maintaining the package (e.g. with GitHub issues)
  • Maintaining contributions (e.g. with a code of conduct)

This workshop relies heavily on the R Packages book by Hadley Wickham and Jenny Bryan
