Bug fix

Internal changes

  • Dockerfile generation now removes the copied file and tar.gz

New functions

  • add_dockerfile() was completely refactored. It now starts from r-ver, uses explicit package versions from you local machine, and tries to set as much System Requirements as possible by using {sysreq}, and parses and installs the Remotes tag from the DESCRIPTION (#189, #175)

  • golem::detach_all_attached() is now silent (#186, @annakau)

Internal changes

New Functions

  • get_golem_wd allows to print the current golem working directory, and set_golem_wd to change it.

Breaking changes

  • In order to work, the functions creating files need a golem.wd. This working directory is set by set_golem_options or the first time you create a file. It default to ".", the current directory.

  • Changes in the name of the args in set_golem_options: pkg_path is now golem_wd, pkg_name is now golem_name, pkg_version is now golem_version

Internal changes

Changes in the way run_app and deploy files are build

  • There is now a unique framework for run_app, that allows to deploy anywhere and can accept arguments. These arguments can then be retrieved with get_golem_options().

See https://rtask.thinkr.fr/blog/shinyapp-runapp-shinyappdir-difference/

Breaking Changes

  • There is no need for ui.R and server.R to exist by default. Removed. Can be recreated with add_ui_server_files()

New function

Small functions updates

  • Functions that create file(s) now automatically create folder if it’s not there. Can be prevented with dir_create = FALSE
  • Functions that create file(s) can now be prevented from opening with open = FALSE, #75

  • Launch test is now included in the default tests #48

Changes

  • create_golem() now switch to the newly created project
  • use_git() is not listed in dev/01_start.R

Breaking changes

New functions

Changes

  • The dev files are now split in three - start / dev / deploy

  • Every function that adds a file now check if the file already exists, and ask the user if they want to overwrite it (#15)

  • Every module is now named mod_x_ui / mod_x_server, for consistency.

  • You can now create package with “illegal” names, using the command line golem::create_shiny_template(). #18

  • add_browser_button() is now named browser_button(), so that all the add_* function are only reserved for function adding files to the golem.

  • add_*_files now check if the folder exists, if not suggests to create it. #36

New functions

Removed

  • use_utils_prod is now included in golem so you don’t have to explicitly include the functions.

Docs

  • Golem now has four vignettes

Last round of functions, and some documentation cleanup.

  • Moved from {shinytemplate} to {golem}

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
