Announcing {heddlr}, now on CRAN!

Thu, 23 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

My first package just got published to CRAN today! heddlr is a set of tools that make it easier to write modular R Markdown documents by decomposing them into a set of patterns which can be repeated and combined based on your input data, letting you dynamically add and remove sections based on your data. I started this package to solve an issue I found myself running into when building flexdashboards, and have since found out that there’s all sorts of cool tricks you can do by applying this type of functional programming mindset to R Markdown documents.

You can find out more on heddlr’s documentation website, proudly made in R via pkgdown. This first version on CRAN is 0.5.0, with 0.1 -> 0.4 previously released on GitHub.

heddlr: Dynamic R Markdown Document Generation

R Markdown is one of the coolest parts of the R ecosystem, making it trivial to create professional-looking HTML and PDF documents using simple markdown language. heddlr looks to extend that functionality by making it easier to dynamically piece together documents by intelligently using your data to combine defined components into a cohesive whole, leading to cleaner code and faster creation of reports that have many repeating pieces or dashboards which need to respond to changes in their data sources.

You can find more information about this project in the documentation, or check out the code on GitHub.
