7.1.1 Preserve the origin story of package data
- Make a data-creating script (e.g. to clean up raw data from elsewhere and get it ready to be included in the package)
- Keep in
data-raw/
as a.R
file. - List
data-raw/
in.Rbuildignore
- A typical script in
data-raw/
includes code to prepare a dataset and ends with a call touse_data()
To do this:
usethis::use_data_raw() # creates `data_raw/` folder and lists it in `.Rbuildignore`
usethis::use_data_raw("my_pkg_data") #??
