Using SpaDES.addins with
RStudio
Using RStudio addins
RStudio addins provide a graphical interface for performing common
tasks. After installing the SpaDES.addins package, go to
the Addins menu in the RStudio IDE to see the list of available addins
provided by this package.
You can assign keyboard shortcuts to any of these addins if you wish. See https://rstudio.github.io/rstudioaddins/#running-addins.
SpaDES module directory
The default module directory is a temporary one, and can be changed
using SpaDES.core::setPaths(). See
?SpaDES.core::setPaths for details.
We recommend using a single local directory for your
SpaDES modules. Thus, only a single module directory is
specified when using these addins.
SpaDES module development
Copy an existing module
The simplest way to get started on developing a SpaDES
module, is to start from an existing module. Anytime you wish to modify
an existing module, we suggest working from a copy, rather than
modifying the existing module directly. To copy an existing module,
simply invoke the SpaDES: copy module addin from the RStudio
Addins menu.
Create a new SpaDES module from a template
SpaDES package development (advanced)
More advanced users planning on contributing code to the
SpaDES ecosystem of packages, can make use of additional
package development tools.
