Initialize a Medisr R project — medisr_init

Creates and initializes an R project directory with a standard folder structure and starter R scripts. If the requested directory does not exist, it is created recursively. Existing files and directories are preserved and skipped.

Usage

medisr_init_project(path = ".")

Arguments

path: A character string specifying the path to the project directory. Defaults to the current working directory.

Value

Invisibly returns the absolute path to the initialized project directory.

Details

The project contains the following structure:

<project>.Rproj – RStudio project file
raw-data/ – raw input data
data/ – processed data
R/ – R source code
docs/ – project documentation
figures/ – generated figures
R/learning.R – learning or exploratory code
R/clean_script.R – data-cleaning code

The function temporarily changes the working directory to the project directory while creating the project structure and restores the original working directory on exit.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
medisr_init_project("my-project")

# Initialize a project in the current directory
medisr_init_project()
} # }
