# details 
Suppose you're opening an issue in GitHub and there's a lot noisey logs that may be useful or you want to add the `sessionInfo()` to the end of the issue.
Rather than wrecking readability, wrapping it in a `` tag is a great solution
```md
Summary Goes Here
...this is hidden, collapsable content...
```
Doing this manually every time is a pain.
`details` is a package lets you create and customize details blocks for [markdown](#markdown) documents and [Roxygen2](#package-documentation) documentation within `R`.
## Installation
### CRAN
``` r
install.packages("details")
```
### Dev
``` r
remotes::install_github("yonicd/details")
```
## Markdown
### Input
The function `details::details` can handle inputs
- R object with supported classes:
- `character`
- `data.frame`
- `tibble`
- `list`
- `device` (eg plots)
- File paths will be identified internally and the lines will be read in automatically.
### Output
The function `details::details` can output the result to
- console (default)
- clipboard via [clipr](https://github.com/mdlincoln/clipr)
- [file.editor](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/file.edit.html) useful when clipr not available
### Examples
One the most popular uses for `details` is to paste the sessioninfo at the bottom of a GitHub issue.
```{r}
library(details)
sessioninfo::session_info()%>%
details::details(summary = 'current session info')
```
You can also use the `knitr` chunk engine that is shipped with `details` to created outputs in `Rmarkdown` documents.
````markdown
`r ''````{details, echo = FALSE, details.summary = 'current session info'}
sessioninfo::session_info()
```
````
```{details, echo = FALSE, details.summary = 'current session info'}
sessioninfo::session_info()
```
There are a [number of objects](https://yonicd.github.io/details/articles/objects.html) that can be placed in a details block other than a character object. An example of a object is a device output such as a plot
```{r}
details(plot(x=mtcars$mpg,y=mtcars$wt), summary = 'My plot')
```
## Package Documentation
Many times in documentation there is a lot to say, but you do not want to overwhelm the user.
To solve this we can use folding blocks in the documentation (which are then rendered into pkgdown website automatically)
### Setup
To make it easy to set up the DESCRIPTION file of your package so you can use `details` macros run the following :
``` r
use_details('PATH_TO_DESCRIPTION_FILE')
```
This will append three elements to the DESCRIPTION file
- Imports: details
- RdMacros: details
- Roxygen: list(markdown = TRUE)
### Usage
You can use this feature by wrapping documentation with the macros
```
\foldstart{[SUMMARY TEXT]}
#' DOCUMENTATION
#' ...
#' DOCUMENTATION
\foldend
```
The `SUMMARY_TEXT` is optional, where the folded block will have a header of __SUMMARY TEXT__.
The default will display __details__.
These folded blocks can be inserted anywhere in the documentation, eg `@description`, `@param`, `@details`, `@return`, ....
## Vignettes
