r6methods

Generate boilerplate code for R6 classes. Given R6 class create getters and/or setters for selected class fields or use RStudio addins to insert methods straight into class definition.

Installation

You can install development version from Github using:

remotes::install_github("jakubsob/r6methods")

Basic usage

Core functionality comes with make_methods function.

library(r6methods)
library(R6)

Person <- R6Class(
  "Person", 
  public = list(
    name = NULL,
    age = NA,
    initialize = function(name, age = NA) {
      self$name <- name
      self$age <- age
    },
    print = function(...) {
      cat("Person: \n")
      cat("  Name: ", self$name, "\n", sep = "")
      cat("  Age:  ", self$age, "\n", sep = "")
      invisible(self)
    }
  ),
  private = list(
    secret1 = NULL,
    secret2 = NULL
  )
)

Create getters and setters for private fields:

make_methods(Person, "private", "both")
#> #' @description Setter for secret1
#> set_secret1 = function(secret1) {
#>   private$secret1 <- secret1
#> },
#> #' @description Getter for secret1
#> get_secret1 = function() {
#>   private$secret1
#> },
#> #' @description Setter for secret2
#> set_secret2 = function(secret2) {
#>   private$secret2 <- secret2
#> },
#> #' @description Getter for secret2
#> get_secret2 = function() {
#>   private$secret2
#> }

Or only getters:

make_methods(Person, "private", "get", add_roxygen = FALSE)
#> get_secret1 = function() {
#>   private$secret1
#> },
#> get_secret2 = function() {
#>   private$secret2
#> }

You can also create methods for fields of your liking, not only all of private/public:

make_methods(Person, c("age", "secret1"), "get", add_roxygen = FALSE)
#> get_age = function() {
#>   self$age
#> },
#> get_secret1 = function() {
#>   private$secret1
#> }

RStudio addins

Four addins are supplied with the package. They are grouped into 2 families:

• Generate: makes method strings and prints them to console to be copied to class definition.
• Insert: makes method strings and inserts them into class definition.

Addins with gadget suffix open gadget in RStudio which allows user to have more control over the generated methods.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
