[New features on R rosr] A shiny GUI and RStudio addin for choosing and creating sub-projects
Repo
https://github.com/pzhaonet/rosr
Brief Intro and curriculum
'rosr' is an R package for creating reproducible academic project with integrated various academic elements, including data, bibliography, codes, images, manuscripts, dissertations, slides and so on. These elements are well connected so that they can be easily synchronized and updated. Users don't have to repeat copying and pasting their results and figures from time to time. It will be easy for the scientific researchers to use, even if they are R beginners, or even non-R-users.
A brief introduction can be found in one of my previous post:
New Features
In my previous about 'rosr', I planned
- to add more choices of the sub-projects with demos to the arguments of the functions
- to make a GUI for creating or maintaining a project for code-haters.
Now these two tasks have been accomplished! And even more!
For Plan 1, individual functions for creating each sub-project as well as self-defined templates were created, shown in the following commits:
For Plan 2, a shiny app as well as a RStudio addin were created, shown in the following commits.
Now non-R users don't have to run any R codes after installation. Just click the 'Addins' button in RStudio and you can find "Create a rosr project".
Then a sheet will pop out, with all useful templates of journal manuscripts, posters, slides, books, dissertations and websites.
Click the elements you want, and click 'create'. You will get everything you like.
Furthermore, functions for reading and processing equations, for removing special characters, for installation of packages, as well as for collecting and displaying templates were added.
- add internal functions
- functions for processing maths expressions
- functions for installing packages and for displaying templates
Codes were improved by re-writing functions and adding comments.
It's cool to see you've made another R package to add to your extensive list of packages! Your previous post introducing the project was also a very interesting read.
As I mentioned before, I've never really used R properly, so I can't really give proper feedback, but let's try anyway:
create_dirseem like they could / should be in the standard library, or refactored by you so you can simply import them on a case by case basis (as I think I've seen them before in some of your other projects). Am I completely wrong in thinking this (it's completely fine if you just tell me straight up that I am, haha).Once again a quality contribution from you! I've noticed you've submitted a lot these past couple of weeks, so you must've been really busy. How are you holding up? ;)

Thank you very much for your review and kind words, @amosbastian!
The commits were made within a short time because I had a serious problem when syncing my folders in Dropbox between different PCs. I was annoyed and removed the old commits and rewrote them...
Regarding the
create_xxxfamily, I am not quite sure how to refactor them. The current version should be convenient for users. Otherwise, let's wait and see their response :)Your suggestions are very helpful. Thanks again!
Thank you for your review, @amosbastian! Keep up the good work!
