Check Directory for R Package Structure — is_r

Checks whether a directory has the files an R package needs (a valid DESCRIPTION, and optionally an .Rproj configured for package development). Set verbose = TRUE to see which checks passed and which failed.

Usage

is_r_package(path, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

path: A character string specifying the path to the directory to be checked.
verbose: A logical parameter; if set to TRUE, detailed messages will be displayed during the check.

Value

A logical value; TRUE if the directory contains a valid DESCRIPTION file (and an optional .Rproj configured for package development), FALSE otherwise.

Details

This is a wrapper around is_pkg_description() and is_pkg_rproj(), which check the DESCRIPTION and .Rproj files respectively. When verbose is TRUE, cli messages report each check and its result.

Examples

is_r_package(
     system.file("pkg", package = "shinypak"),
     verbose = TRUE)
