There are several code snippets that are invaluable to my workflow and play nicely with functions in my custom R package. Can I include these code snippets in my R package so that they are added to users' code snippets (with permissions of course) when they install my package?
Rmd snippet example
snippet sql
```{sql, connection = conn, output.var = "${1:df}"}
${2}
```
its definitely possible because for example, I use the shinyapp snippet very often !
Afraid, I have to leave the 'how' to someone else.
Writing this function did the trick:
add_markdown_snippets <- function(my_file = '~/.R/snippets/markdown.snippets', append = TRUE){
my_text <- "
snippet sql
{sql, connection = conn, output.var = '${1:df}'} ${2}
"
cat(my_text, file = my_file, ...)
}
Now a user can execute this function after loading the package to update their snippets.
