From summarizing projects to setting tags, uses of parsing R files
summary
Parses R and R Markdown files with funspotr to extract functions and packages, producing a lookup table of file paths and URLs and an HTML reference for quick lookup. Workflow uses list_files then spot_funs_files (unnesting results) and can run spot_tags to auto-generate blogdown tags. Builds package–file network plots that reveal clusters (e.g., tidyverse vs tidymodels). Works best on self-contained files, requires installed packages or use of renv, and slows on very large codebases.
