## Overview
An [R](http://r-project.org) package to automate set up and sharing of R projects in [bcgov GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov) following [bcgov guidelines](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub).
All B.C. Government employees are responsible for determining whether bcgov R source code can be shared on [bcgov GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov) and for following the [BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub).
You will need to ensure that [Git](https://git-scm.com/) is installed on your computer. To add your project to bcgov GitHub users need to have a GitHub account _and_ be a [member of the bcgov GitHub organisation](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md).
## Features
### Functions
`create_bcgov_project()` & `create_bcgov_package()` Create a new—or populate an existing—R project or R package with folders & files that encourage best practice in scientific computing _and_ with files that ensure the project meets [bcgov GitHub requirements](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md).
`use_bcgov_git()` Initialise [Git](https://git-scm.com/) version control for an R project _and_ add files that ensure the project meets [bcgov GitHub requirements](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md).
`use_bcgov_github()` Open a [bcgov GitHub repository](https://github.com/bcgov) and synchronise with an existing local R project _and_ add files that ensure the project meets [bcgov GitHub requirements](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md). `use_bcgov_github()` requires that your project already be a Git repository. Use `use_bcgov_git()` to initialise a Git repository.
`create_from_bcgov_github()` Clone a [bcgov GitHub repository](https://github.com/bcgov) _and_ add files that ensure the project meets [bcgov GitHub requirements](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md).
`use_bcgov_req()` Add files to a new or existing R project to meet [bcgov GitHub requirements](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md). You can also add the [bcgov required files](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md) individually using `use_bcgov_contributing()`, `use_bcgov_licence()`, `use_bcgov_readme()`, `use_bcgov_readme_rmd()`, `use_bcgov_code_of_conduct()`.
### RStudio bcgovr Project & Package Templates
The `create_bcgov_project()` or `create_bcgov_package()` and `use_bcgov_git` functions can be used simultaneously through the *bcgovr Project & Package* templates in the [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/) New Project dialogue box. The dialogue box allows a user to create a new R project or package with the option to select and individualise the required bcgov GitHub files and initialise Git version control.
### RStudio Addins
The `bcgovr` package installs a set of [RStudio Addins](https://rstudio.github.io/rstudioaddins/):
(i) Insert the [boiler-plate Apache 2.0 license header](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Open-Source-Development-Employee-Guide/Licenses.md) into the comments header of a source file (uses `insert_bcgov_apache_header()`).
(ii) Insert the [boiler-plate Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License header](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Open-Source-Development-Employee-Guide/Licenses.md) into the comments header of a source file (uses `insert_bcgov_cc_header()`).
(iii) Insert a [bcgov project lifecycle badge](https://github.com/bcgov/repomountie/blob/master/doc/lifecycle-badges.md) into an .Rmd or .md file to indicate the current state of a project (uses `insert_bcgov_lifecycle_badge()`).
## Installation
You can install `bcgovr` directly from this GitHub repository. To do so, you will need the [remotes](https://cran.r-project.org/package=remotes) package:
```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages("remotes")
```
Next, install and load the `bcgovr` package using `remotes::install_github()`:
```{r, eval=FALSE}
remotes::install_github("bcgov/bcgovr")
library(bcgovr)
```
`r emo::ji("tada")` The authors of `bcgovr` acknowledge and thank the authors of the [`usethis`](https://cran.r-project.org/package=usethis) R package—`bcgovr` uses `usethis` _a lot_. And by a lot, we mean _every_ `bcgovr` function uses `usethis` under the hood `r emo::ji("oncoming_automobile")`.
## Usage
### I WANT TO...
Create a new bcgov R project or package with a 'ready-to-go' folder & file structure
Create and open—or populate—a local R project using `bcgovr::create_bcgov_project()`. Be sure to either specify your local directory using the `path` argument, or `setwd("C:/my-new-project")` before running `create_bcgov_project()`. The template `bcgovr` folders and files and required bcgov GitHub files will be created in the new directory. For using different project templates, see the [Options](#options) section below. Type `?create_bcgov_project` in the R console for help.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
create_bcgov_project(path = "C:/my-new-project", coc_email = "[email protected]")
```
```
C:/my-new-project

```
The `create_bcgov_package()` function is used the same way as `create_bcgov_project()` but will create all the folders & files to get started on creating an R package. Type `?create_bcgov_package` in the R console for help. The [R packages](http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/) book by Hadley Wickham is a very useful resource if you are looking to create R packages.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
create_bcgov_package(path = "C:/mynewrpackage", coc_email = "[email protected]")
```

```
Users can also use the *bcgovr Project & Package* templates in the [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/) New Project dialogue box to create a new R project or package. The dialogue box provides the option to select and individualise the required bcgov GitHub files and initialise Git version control.
```{r echo=FALSE, out.width = "30%"}
knitr::include_graphics("tools/readme/proj_template1.png")
knitr::include_graphics("tools/readme/proj_template2.png")
knitr::include_graphics("tools/readme/proj_template3.png")
```
Initialise Git version control for my R project (without GitHub)
Put your local R project under version control by initialising a [Git](https://git-scm.com/) repository using `use_bcgov_git()`—this automatically completes staging and committing of the initial folders & files inside the project. The `use_bcgov_git()` function also ensures the project has the required bcgov GitHub files. Type `?use_bcgov_git` in the R console for help.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
use_bcgov_git(coc_email = "[email protected]")
```
Open a bcgov GitHub repository and synchronise with my R project
Share your R project on [bcgov GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov) using `use_bcgov_github()`. This requires that your project already be a Git repository—use `use_bcgov_git()` to initialise a Git repository if necessary. The `use_bcgov_github()` function creates a repository on bcgov GitHub and adds and synchronises your local project with the newly created bcgov GitHub origin. The `use_bcgov_github()` function also ensures the project has the required bcgov GitHub files. Type `?use_bcgov_github` in the R console for help.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
use_bcgov_github(organisation = "bcgov", coc_email = "[email protected]")
```
Clone and contribute to an existing bcgov GitHub repository
Create a new local Git repository with a project or repository cloned from bcgov GitHub using `create_from_bcgov_github()`. The `create_from_bcgov_github()` function also ensures the project has the required bcgov GitHub files. Type `?create_from_bcgov_github` in the R console for help.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
create_from_bcgov_github(repo = "bcgov/bcgovr", destdir = "C:/my_directory")
```
Add all or some of the required bcgov GitHub files to my R project
Add the [required bcgov GitHub](https://github.com/bcgov/BC-Policy-Framework-For-GitHub/blob/master/BC-Gov-Org-HowTo/Cheatsheet.md) files—a LICENCE, a README, a CODE OF CONDUCT and a CONTRIBUTING file—to any new or existing bcgov R project or package using `use_bcgov_req()`. Type `?use_bcgov_req` in the R console for help.
You can use the `licence`, `coc_email` & `rmarkdown` arguments to change the default Apache 2.0 License, add your contact details to the Code of Conduct, or decline a README.Rmd file—maybe you only want a README.md for the project?
```{r, eval=FALSE}
use_bcgov_req(licence = "cc-by", rmarkdown = FALSE, coc_email = "[email protected]")
```
You can also add the individual required files as needed using:
```{r, eval=FALSE}
use_bcgov_licence()
use_bcgov_readme()
use_bcgov_contributing()
use_bcgov_code_of_conduct(coc_email = "[email protected]")
```
Insert a licence header into my source file
Need to add that Apache 2.0 or Creative Commons License header to a source file? Just click-click:
You can also use `insert_bcgov_apache_header()` or `insert_bcgov_cc_header()`.
Insert a bcgov project lifecycle badge into my README file
Want to add a lifecycle badge to your README file to indicate the current state of the project? Just click-click-click-click:
You can also use `insert_bcgov_lifecycle_badge("experimental")`. Type `?insert_bcgov_lifecycle_badge` in the R console for the list of badge options and other help.
### Options
There are several options you can specify in your `.Rprofile` file to customise the default behaviour when using the `create_bcgov_` and `use_bcgov_` functions in `bcgovr`.
* `bcgovr.coc.email`: Code of Conduct contact email address
* `bcgovr.dir.struct`: Alternative project directory structure for `create_bcgov_project()`. This should be specified as a character vector of directory (i.e. folders) and file paths, relative to the root of the project. Directories should be identified by having a trailing forward-slash (e.g., `"dir/"`).
The default is: `c("R/", "data/", "out/", "01_load.R", "02_clean.R", "03_analysis.R", "04_output.R", "internal.R", "run_all.R")`.
To make use of these options, there should be a section in your `.Rprofile` file that looks something like this:
```r
if (interactive()) {
options("bcgovr.coc.email" = "[email protected]")
options("bcgovr.dir.struct" = c("doc/", "data/", "results/", "src/01_load.R", "src/02_clean.R",
"src/03_analysis.R", "src/04_output.R", "src/run_all.R"))
}
```
The easiest way to edit your `.Rprofile` is to run `usethis::edit_r_profile()`. It will open
up the file in RStudio for editing. Then save the file, restart R, and your settings
will be saved.
