Initialize a new scdrake project. — init

Initialize a new scdrake project.

Usage

init_project(
  dir = ".",
  use_rstudio = TRUE,
  set_active_project = TRUE,
  set_wd = TRUE,
  download_example_data = FALSE,
  ask = TRUE,
  verbose = getOption("scdrake_verbose"),
  ...
)

Arguments

dir: A character scalar: path to directory in which the project will be created. If NULL, the current working directory will be used (same as the default: "."). Subdirectories will be created recursively.
use_rstudio: A logical scalar: if TRUE, initiate an RStudio project inside dir.
set_active_project: A logical scalar: if TRUE, set active project to dir.
set_wd: A logical scalar: if TRUE, change the current working directory to dir.
download_example_data: A logical scalar: if TRUE, download example PBMC 1k and 3k data to {dir}/example_data. See download_pbmc1k() and download_pbmc3k() for more details on these datasets.
ask: A logical scalar: if TRUE, do not prompt and overwrite an existing project.
verbose: A logical scalar: if TRUE, be verbose. The default value is obtained from getOption("scdrake_verbose").
...: Passed to download_yq().

Details

This function will:

Create the project's root directory.
(Optional) Switch the current working directory to the project's root and call here::i_am().
Copy config, RMarkdown, and _drake_*.R files.
Create an empty .here file. This ensures that the here package will be able to find the project's root directory in case an RStudio project is not initialized.
Check whether the yq tool is available in PATH environment variable.
(Optional) Download the example data using download_pbmc1k() and download_pbmc3k().
(Optional) Initialize an RStudio project and set it as the active project.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
init_project("my_project")
}
