heddlr 0.6.1

• Improvements and bug fixes:
  • Removed LazyData and added tibble to Suggests: in DESCRIPTION to silence NOTEs.

heddlr 0.6.0 (2020-03-24)

• New functionality:
  • provide_parameters replaces your old rmarkdown::render(..., params = list(x = x, y = y)) calls with a simpler rmarkdown::render(..., params = provide_parameters(x, y))
  • bulk_replace will change a string across all of a list of provided files, making it easier to change variables as needed.
• Functionality changes:
  • heddle now warns you when it doesn't find your placeholder in the pattern, and lets you replicate patterns without replacement by providing NA as argument to ...
• Documentation changes:
  • heddle's miniature essay on ... has moved to a separate section
  • export_template now strips carriage returns from documents by default, preventing your templates from turning into extremely sparse haikus. To keep your \r intact, set strip.carriage.returns to FALSE
• Documentation changes:
  • heddle's miniature essay on ... has moved to a separate section
• Internal changes:
  • Development now happens on feature branches, with master reflecting the (more) stable development branch and CRAN reflecting the release version.

heddlr 0.5.0 (2020-01-23)

• Deprecations:
  • assemble_draft has been deprecated in favor of import_draft, and will be removed in a future release. import_draft works exactly the same as assemble_draft (in fact, assemble_draft is just an alias for import_draft) and more clearly communicates the relationship with import_pattern while also making the distinction from extract_draft more obvious.
• New functionality:
  • extract_pattern now helps you extract individual patterns from a larger plaintext file, by indicating via signpost keywords what to import
  • extract_draft makes it easy to extract multiple patterns from the same file in a single function call, returning a single draft object
  • use_parameters lets you add parameter boilerplate to your templates easily, including objects in your YAML header and initializing them in an R chunk to let you use the same objects in your report that you used to make it
• Functionality changes:
  • heddle now can handle patterns vectors with length > 1 (in case you want to store your pattern as a column in a dataframe next to the data you're replacing it with)
• Documentation changes:
  • Examples now utilize tempdir() to hopefully pass CRAN checks
• Internal changes:
  • Code now (mostly) passes goodpractices::gp()
  • Removed DATE from DESCRIPTION
  • Travis builds now cache packages

heddlr 0.4.1

• This will be the first version submitted to CRAN
• Functionality changes:
  • make_template now uses vectorized vapply functions instead of loops
  • heddle stops you a second earlier if your strip.whitespace argument is bad
• Documentation changes:
  • Functions are now grouped into families for easier reference
  • More involved example vignette edited, links to final product
  • Examples added to function documentation
  • Typo fixed in flexdashboard vignette
  • Website overhauled
  • README edits
• Internal changes:
  • Added codemeta

heddlr 0.4.0

• Functionality changes:
  • assemble_draft() now wraps an lapply call and is much more open to different naming conventions
  • Remove utils-tidy-eval, as it doesn't provide much utility and makes finding functions in heddlr:: harder.
  • Fixed a few latent bugs in heddle:
    • Export methods in order to, well, use the methods
  • Fixed a few latent bugs in make_template:
    • Export methods in order to, well, use the methods
    • Fix vector handling so nested vectors are flattened properly
  • Export export_template and fix documentation
• Documentation changes:
  • Add documentation page for ?heddlr
  • Add URLs to DESCRIPTION
  • Add links between vignettes
  • Remove README.Rmd until needed
  • Remove most README content in favor of vignette
  • Change package lifecycle to maturing
  • Add CII badge (closes issue #7)
  • New vignettes introducing the concepts behind heddlr
  • New hidden docs pages to be linked from vignettes and other docs
  • Add Suggests section for vignettes
  • Add date to DESCRIPTION
  • Edit DESCRIPTION to pass R CMD CHECK
• Internal changes:
  • Remove most tidyverse links from GitHub customizations
  • Add quick "do this before committing" shell script
  • Style .R and .Rmd files
  • Only test on r-oldrel, r-release, and r-devel (Linux and Windows only)

heddlr 0.3.0

• Implement heddle function, making it easy to swap out placeholder keywords in piped code
• Implement make_template function, letting you combine heddle elements into single exportable templates
• Code styled and documentation properly linked (I think!)
• Github project pieces added (Contributing guidelines, code of conduct, issue templates)
• Builds now test against every version of R on Linux and Mac with support in Travis and rlang
