Manipulate DESCRIPTION Files

Tools to read, write, create, and manipulate DESCRIPTION files. It is intended for packages that create or manipulate other packages.

Access the System Credential Store from R

Platform independent 'API' to access the operating system's credential store. Currently supports: 'Keychain' on 'macOS', Credential Store on 'Windows', the Secret Service 'API' on 'Linux', and simple, platform independent stores implemented with environment variables or encrypted files. Additional storage back-ends can be added easily.

Network Analysis and Visualization

Routines for simple graphs and network analysis. It can handle large graphs very well and provides functions for generating random and regular graphs, graph visualization, centrality methods and much more.

Run 'R CMD check' from 'R' and Capture Results

Run 'R CMD check' from 'R' and capture the results of the individual checks. Supports running checks in the background, timeouts, pretty printing and comparing check results.

'GitHub' 'API'

Minimal client to access the 'GitHub' 'API'.

Find Tools Needed to Build R Packages

Provides functions used to build R packages. Locates compilers needed to build R packages on various platforms and ensures the PATH is configured appropriately so R can use them.

R Session Information

Query and print information about the current R session. It is similar to 'utils::sessionInfo()', but includes more information about packages, and where they were installed from.

Another Approach to Package Installation

The goal of 'pak' is to make package installation faster and more reliable. In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel, so metadata resolution and package downloads are fast. Metadata and package files are cached on the local disk as well. 'pak' has a dependency solver, so it finds version conflicts before performing the installation. This version of 'pak' supports CRAN, 'Bioconductor' and 'GitHub' packages as well.

Basic R Input Output

Functions to handle basic input output, these functions always read and write UTF-8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) files and provide more explicit control over line endings.

Fake Web Apps for HTTP Testing

Create a web app that makes it easier to test web clients without using the internet. It includes a web app framework with path matching, parameters and templates. Can parse various 'HTTP' request bodies. Can send 'JSON' data or files from the disk. Includes a web app that implements the 'httpbin.org' web service.
