Read and Write 'Parquet' Files

Self-sufficient reader and writer for flat 'Parquet' files. Can read most 'Parquet' data types. Can write many 'R' data types, including factors and temporal types. See docs for limitations.

Lightweight Web Server for 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 and 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 < https://httpbin.org> web service.

Wait for a Key Press in a Terminal

Wait for a single key press at the 'R' prompt. This works in terminals, but does not currently work in the 'Windows' 'GUI', the 'OS X' 'GUI' ('R.app'), in 'Emacs' 'ESS', in an 'Emacs' shell buffer or in 'R Studio'. In these cases 'keypress' stops with an error message.

Notifications from 'Shiny'

Browser notifications in 'Shiny' apps, using 'toastr': < https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr#readme>.

'WebDriver' Client for 'PhantomJS'

A client for the 'WebDriver' 'API'. It allows driving a (probably headless) web browser, and can be used to test web applications, including 'Shiny' apps. In theory it works with any 'WebDriver' implementation, but it was only tested with 'PhantomJS'.

Detect the Language of Text

With no external dependencies and support for 335 languages; all languages spoken by more than one million speakers. 'Franc' is a port of the 'JavaScript' project of the same name, see < https://github.com/wooorm/franc>.

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.

A Collection of Small Text Corpora of Interesting Data

A collection of small text corpora of interesting data. It contains all data sets from 'dariusk/corpora'. Some examples: names of animals: birds, dinosaurs, dogs; foods: beer categories, pizza toppings; geography: English towns, rivers, oceans; humans: authors, US presidents, occupations; science: elements, planets; words: adjectives, verbs, proverbs, US president quotes.

Document Unit Tests Roxygen-Style

Much as 'roxygen2' allows one to document functions in the same file as the function itself, 'roxut' allows one to write the unit tests in the same file as the function. Once processed, the unit tests are moved to the appropriate directory. Currently supports 'testthat' and 'tinytest' frameworks. The 'roxygen2' package provides much of the infrastructure.
