This package helps accessing files relative to a *project root* to [stop the working directory insanity](https://gist.github.com/jennybc/362f52446fe1ebc4c49f).
It is a low-level helper package for the [here](https://here.r-lib.org/) package.
```{r}
library(rprojroot)
```
## Example
The rprojroot package works best when you have a "project": all related files contained in a subdirectory that can be categorized using a strict criterion.
Let's create a package for demonstration.
```{r}
dir <- tempfile()
pkg <- usethis::create_package(dir)
```
R packages satisfy the `is_r_package` criterion.
A criterion is an object that contains a `find_file()` function.
With `pkg` as working directory, the function works like `file.path()`, rooted at the working directory:
```{r}
setwd(pkg)
is_r_package
is_r_package$find_file()
is_r_package$find_file("tests", "testthat")
```
This works identically when starting from a subdirectory:
```{r}
setwd(file.path(pkg, "R"))
is_r_package$find_file()
is_r_package$find_file("tests", "testthat")
```
There is one exception: if the first component passed to `find_file()` is already an absolute path.
This allows safely applying this function to paths that may be absolute or relative:
```{r}
setwd(file.path(pkg, "R"))
path <- is_r_package$find_file()
is_r_package$find_file(path, "tests", "testthat")
```
As long as you are sure that your working directory is somewhere inside your project, you can retrieve the project root.
## Installation and further reading
Install the package from CRAN:
``` r
install.package("rprojroot")
```
See the [documentation](https://rprojroot.r-lib.org/articles/rprojroot.html) for more detail.
