Prepare customised bookdown from skeleton and template This function creates an Rstudio project in path, sets build type to "website", copies the content of book_skeleton at the root of the project, copies all files from the book template, modifies pre-defined variable book_title, author_name, creation_date, as well as any variable added by the user in replacements (index_title, index_content...), and inserts the content of index.txt in index.Rmd (here containing the user defined variables index_title and index_content).

prepare_book(
  path,
  replacements = c(book_title = "My book", author_name = "Marion Louveaux",
    creation_date = "`r Sys.Date()`", short_description =
    "An example of book with {bookprep}.", index_title = "Context"),
  skeleton = system.file("book_skeleton", package = "bookprep"),
  template = system.file("book_template_example", package = "bookprep"),
  pattern = "[.]Rmd$|[.]yml$|[.]md$"
)

Arguments

path	where to create the bookdown
replacements	a vector of correspondences between an input and an output. Input is fixed and corresponds to: book_title, author_name, creation_date, short_description and index_title
skeleton	path to directory containing bookdown skeleton
template	path to directory containing template files for chapters and index content
pattern	regex to identify files to prepare (by default, all Rmd, yml and md files)

Value

used for side effect: file creation in path

Examples

# Create temporary directory for reproducible example
dir_tmp <- tempfile(pattern = "proj-")
dir.create(dir_tmp)
# browseURL(dir_tmp)

prepare_book(
  path = dir_tmp,
  template = system.file("book_template_example", package = "bookprep"),
  replacements = c(
    # replacements mandatory for the bookdown skeleton
    "book_title" = "My book",
    "author_name" = "Marion Louveaux",
    "creation_date" = "`r Sys.Date()`",
    "short_description" = "An example of book with {bookprep}.",
    # replacement specific to my template that you can add if you want
    "index_title" = "Context"
  )
