numbr

A R package to keep your scripts ordered with leading numbers in file names.

---

This is an example of how I keep my scripts organized when I analyze some data:

# ls R/
01-import.R
02-data-management.R
03-imputation.R
04-table-1.R
05-figure-1.R
...
11-figure-supp-4.R

There are several advantages to that. The pain is when you want to delete or insert a file in this list and keep it organized.

---

This is why this packages is here.

> library(numbr)
> nbr_new("import")
> nbr_new("data-management")
> nbr_new("table-1")
> nbr_insert_at(3, "imputation")

After that, you will have :

# ls R/
1-import.R
2-data-management.R
3-imputation.R
4-table-1.R

You can source all scripts with nbr_source_all()

Leading zeros are added when you have more than 10 or 100 scripts.

RStudio

The package plays well in RStudio, because when you create a script it opens it, and when you source all scripts, all modified files are automatically saved.

TODO

• Add @param force to source funs
• Make tests for .nbr/ discordant with R/
• Make tests for delete and insert consistent with .nbr/
• Close and reopen appropriate script when insert_at is used
• Do the same for data files detect if they have been modified and source dependent scripts accordingly
