veupathUtils

veupathUtils is an R package which provides helper functions for solving common problems in the VEuPathDB project.

Installation

Use the R package remotes to install veupathUtils. From the R command prompt:

remotes::install_github('VEuPathDB/veupathUtils')

Usage

This package is primarily intended for use as a dependency in other R packages. In order to establish that depedency the developer of the dependent package must follow these steps:

1. add veupathUtils to the Imports section of the dependent package's DESCRIPTION file.
2. add a Remotes section to the dependent package's DESCRIPTION file.
3. add VEuPathDB/veupathUtils to the Remotes section of the dependent package's DESCRIPTION file.
4. add #' @import veupathUtils to the dependent package's package-level documentation file (usually called {mypackage}-package.R).
5. run devtools::document().

The developer of the dependent package can either install this package using remotes as descripted in the "Installation" section above, or if they mean to also develop veupathUtils simultaneously, can use devtools::load_all("{path-to-veupathUtils}") to load this package in their R session.
