Powerful and Reliable Tools for Running System Commands in R

Drop-in replacements for the base system2() function with fine control and consistent behavior across platforms. Supports clean interruption, timeout, background tasks, and streaming STDIN / STDOUT / STDERR over binary or text connections. Arguments on Windows automatically get encoded and quoted to work on different locales.

Multi-Format Archive and Compression Support

Bindings to 'libarchive' < http://www.libarchive.org> the Multi-format archive and compression library. Offers R connections and direct extraction for many archive formats including 'tar', 'ZIP', '7-zip', 'RAR', 'CAB' and compression formats including 'gzip', 'bzip2', 'compress', 'lzma' and 'xz'.

Load Environment Variables from '.env'

Load configuration from a '.env' file, that is in the current working directory, into environment variables.

R SDK and Exporters for OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs used to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) for analysis in order to understand your software's performance and behavior. This package contains the OpenTelemetry SDK, and exporters. Use this package to export traces, metrics, logs from instrumented R code. Use the otel package to instrument your R code for OpenTelemetry.

Masked User Input

A micro-package for reading "passwords", i.e. reading user input with masking, so that the input is not displayed as it is typed. Currently we have support for 'RStudio', the command line (every OS), and any platform where 'tcltk' is present.

Tidy Output from Regular Expression Matching

Wrappers on 'regexpr' and 'gregexpr' to return the match results in tidy data frames.

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.

Chronological Objects which Can Handle Dates and Times

Provides chronological objects which can handle dates and times.

Search and Query CRAN R Packages

Search CRAN metadata about packages by keyword, popularity, recent activity, package name and more. Uses the 'R-hub' search server, see < https://r-pkg.org> and the CRAN metadata database, that contains information about CRAN packages. Note that this is _not_ a CRAN project.

Tools for R Package Developers

R-hub v2 uses GitHub Actions to run 'R CMD check' and similar package checks. The 'rhub' package helps you set up R-hub v2 for your R package, and start running checks.
