Motivation

When considering whether to use a model module, it is useful to first see tutorials about appropriate use of that module.

Implementation

A table itemising individual model modules and sub-modules authored with ready4 can be generated using make_modules_tb. This function scrapes relevant data from the websites of module libraries that have been developed within a specified project’s GitHub organisation.

Use

In this example, we are going to examine modules from the readyforwhatsnext model. The value supplied to the gh_repo_1L_chr argument specifies the repository in which a dataset of readyforwhatsnext module libraries is stored. Note, the following command may take a couple of minutes to execute.

modules_tb <-  make_modules_tb(gh_repo_1L_chr = "ready4-dev/ready4")

A slightly quicker method to achieve a similar result is to use the get_modules_tb function. This function retrieves an archived version (and therefore potentially less up to date) of the modules summary table.

# Not run
# modules_tb <- get_modules_tb(gh_repo_1L_chr = "ready4-dev/ready4")

The modules_tb object itemises both model modules (which always use R’s “S4” class type) and sub-modules (“S3” class type).

To display a HTML summary of just model modules, you can use the print_modules function.

print_modules(modules_tb, what_1L_chr = "S4")
