lightparser

R-CMD-check Codecov test coverage

You need to extract some specific information from your Rmd or Qmd file? {lightparser} is designed to split your Rmd or Qmd file by sections into a tibble: titles, text, chunks. It stores them as a tibble, so you can easily manipulate it with {dplyr} or {purrr}. Later, you can rebuild a Rmd or Qmd from the tibble.

Installation

You can install the development version of lightparser from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ThinkR-open/lightparser")

Documentation

Full documentation website on: https://thinkr-open.github.io/lightparser/

Example

Split your Rmd or Qmd file into a tibble:

library(lightparser)

file <- system.file(
  "dev-template-parsing.Rmd",
  package = "lightparser"
)


tbl_rmd <- split_to_tbl(file)
tbl_rmd
#> # A tibble: 35 × 8
#>    type    label       params       text     code  heading heading_level section
#>    <chr>   <chr>       <list>       <named > <lis> <chr>           <dbl> <chr>

Combine the tibble into a Rmd or Qmd file:

file_out <- tempfile(fileext = ".Rmd")
out <- combine_tbl_to_file(tbl_rmd, file_out)

Read the file re-created with combine_tbl_to_file() to verify it is a proper Rmd

cat(readLines(file_out), sep = "\n")
