# timestamp

Note: timestamp hasn't been updated in a while (not that it particularly needs to be).  If you're looking for something that is currently being updated and has more features you might consider the ['prompt'](https://github.com/ThinkRstat/prompt) package which provides more options to add to your prompt (time stamps being one of those options).

The timestamp package is an R package that allows you to add a timestamp to your prompt that updates with each top level callback.  Here is an example of what the package can do for you

```r

> rnorm(1)

[1] 1.593738

> # I want a time stamp!

> library(timestamp)

23:23:11 > rnorm(1)

[1] 0.772474

23:23:13 > print("Yay - I have a time stamp!")

[1] "Yay - I have a time stamp!"

23:23:20 > rnorm(1)

[1] 0.9360234

23:23:26 > print("Now I don't want it anymore...")

[1] "Now I don't want it anymore..."

23:23:33 > removeTimeStamp()

> # Back to normal

> # This is boring - let's add it back

> addTimeStamp()

23:23:55 > print("So much better")

[1] "So much better"

23:24:00 > removeTimeStamp()

> options(prompt = "Raptors Suck > ")

Raptors Suck > addTimeStamp()

23:24:42 Raptors Suck > print("It respects your current prompt")

[1] "It respects your current prompt"

23:24:50 Raptors Suck > removeTimeStamp()

Raptors Suck > 

```

## Installation

Currently there isn't a release on [CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org/).

You can, however, download the [zip ball](https://github.com/dasonk/timestamp/zipball/master) or [tar ball](https://github.com/dasonk/timestamp/tarball/master), decompress and run `R CMD INSTALL` on it, or use the **devtools** package to install the development version:

```r

## Make sure your current packages are up to date

update.packages()

## devtools is required

library(devtools)

install_github("timestamp", "dasonk")

```

## Future Goals

* Add customization of the timestamp to at least include some common variations.

* Add working directory to prompt if user desires.

* Remove stamp if package is detached.
