tinyrox

Minimal R documentation generator - base R only, no magic.

What it does

tinyrox is a lightweight alternative to roxygen2 that generates valid .Rd files and NAMESPACE from #' comments using only base R.

Installation

install.packages("tinyrox")

Usage

library(tinyrox)

# Generate man/*.Rd and NAMESPACE from R/*.R
document()

# Clean generated files (man/, NAMESPACE)
clean()

# Check for common CRAN policy issues
check_cran()

Supported Tags

Documentation

Tag Purpose
@title One-line title
@description Short description
@details Longer description
@param name Parameter documentation
@return Return value
@value Alias for @return
@examples Code examples (verbatim)
@example path Include example from file
@seealso Cross-references
@references Citations
@section Title: Custom section
@author Author information
@family name Related functions
@aliases Additional topic aliases
@keywords Rd keywords (e.g., internal)
@name Explicit topic name
@inheritParams fn Copy params from another function
@noRd Skip Rd generation

Namespace

Tag Effect
@export export()
@exportS3Method generic class S3method()
@import pkg import()
@importFrom pkg sym1 sym2 importFrom()
@useDynLib pkg useDynLib()

Example

#' Add Two Numbers
#'
#' @param x First number
#' @param y Second number
#' @return The sum
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
#' add(1, 2)
add <- function(x, y) {
  x + y
}

CRAN Compliance Checking

tinyrox includes automated CRAN compliance checks:

# Check DESCRIPTION for common issues
check_description_cran()
# Warns about: unquoted package names, missing web service links

# Check R code for CRAN policy violations
check_code_cran()
# Warns about: T/F, print()/cat(), .GlobalEnv, installed.packages(), etc.

# Run all checks
check_cran()

# Auto-fix DESCRIPTION quoting issues
fix_description_cran()

Issues detected: - Unquoted package/software names in Title/Description - Missing web service links for packages like hfhub, gh - T/F instead of TRUE/FALSE - print()/cat() instead of message() - installed.packages() usage - .GlobalEnv modifications - setwd() without on.exit() restoration - Hardcoded set.seed() without parameter

Philosophy

tinyrox follows the tinyverse philosophy:

Dependencies have real costs. Each dependency is an invitation to break your project.

Design principles: - Minimize dependencies (tinyrox has none) - Explicit over implicit - no inference magic - Strict subset of tags - not everything roxygen2 does - Deterministic output - same input = same output - Fail fast on unknown tags

What tinyrox does NOT do: - Markdown parsing - Automatic dependency inference - @rdname grouping magic - pkgdown integration

Development Workflow

tinyrox is part of the tinyverse toolchain for R package development:

Package Purpose
tinyrox Documentation & NAMESPACE
tinypkgr install, load_all, check, build
tinytest Unit testing
rformat Token-based code formatter
# Edit R/*.R files with #' comments

# Regenerate docs
tinyrox::document()

# Load for interactive development (no install)
tinypkgr::load_all()

# Install and reload in current session
tinypkgr::reload()
tinytest::test_package("mypkg")

# Full R CMD check
tinypkgr::check()

Or from the command line with littler:

r -e 'tinyrox::document(); tinypkgr::install(); tinytest::test_package("mypkg")'
