9.5 Building with RMarkdown

• Build the back-end without any reactive context

• Provides some documentation

• usethis::use_vignette("vignetteName")

9.5.1 Define the content of the application

• Rendered .Rmd is shareable content

• Lets you focus on the core algorithm

• Obliges you to make back-end “application independent” (write well-documented, non-reactive functions etc)

9.5.2 Using the Rmd files as a laboratory notebook

• keep track of your ideas

• separation of work across multiple vignettes

9.5.3 Rmd, Vignettes, and documentation first

• Vignettes are first-class part of package infrastructure

• They are built during package check; so you have automated check that vignettes continue to work
