From summarizing projects to setting tags, uses of parsing R files
summary
Parses R and Rmd files to extract every function and package usage and returns a lookup table with relative paths and file URLs, using the funspotr helpers such as spot_fun_files to identify functions and spot_tags to auto-generate blogdown tags. Builds an HTML reference table and a network plot that links packages to files so central packages and clusters (tidyverse vs tidymodels in the Julia Silge example) are obvious. Works on self‑contained files, takes seconds per file, and reports unknowns if packages aren’t installed; not suited to targets or complex Shiny dependency graphs.
