Session Summary:

I'll walk through a few potential uses of parsing out the functions and packages in projects.

  • Creating a reference table: With so many #rstats learning materials out there, it's often helpful to parse-out the functions from a project and create a lookup table that complements your notes.
  • Analyzing files: A network visualization of the packages may provide insights as to which files or projects are most related to one another as well as which packages are most central to a body of work.
  • Setting tags: Picking good consistent tags for your blogdown website is hard. It's easier to just parse out the packages in each post and use those to organize your website.

Examples will use helpers from the new {funspotr} package: https://github.com/brshallo/funspotr/
