📜 Discover and install useful RStudio addins

Hi, I'm Dean 👋

I've been creating widely-used open source projects since 2014. I believe in releasing all my useful software products and knowledge into the wild so that everyone can benefit from them!

My office hours schedule for existing sponsors

You can see a list of my popular tools on my Projects page.

Please consider supporting my work ❤️ for everyone's benefit. I currently spend about half my time on open source and my other half on paying the bills by providing private consulting. My goal is to transition to only open source to reach more people with my work.

addinslist's Issues

Ranking of addins

@csgillespie suggested that maybe we add some ranking system to the addins, to give users a sort by popularity. I want to see what others think about this.

consider adding blogsnip addins

Hi,

You may consider adding https://github.com/matt-dray/blogsnip to the list.

Best wishes

Compare CRAN and GitHub versions

This is a very very straightforward approach which parses the raw DESCRIPTION file on GitHub and the CRAN package website:

https://gist.github.com/ottlngr/b83e9a8ae3631ceb9e941267574de9b2

It's surprisingly fast (faster than some existing solutions).

browsing adding crashes on Mac

If I try to use this to browse addins, a window opens, then it disappears, and I get this error:

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:5157
pandoc: ~/Library/Application Support/addinsrepo/addins.md: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

FYI, I'm using the most recent Mac OS, most recent R, and a recent version of Rstudio (Version 1.4.1717)

Crashing when updating list of addins

Reported by @jeam-github in #123

Looks like I have a similar problem. I've installed and am trying to use the addinslist addin within RStudio but encounter an error on selecting addinslist from the Addins menu in RStudio:
Loading required package: shiny

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:6507

  51:

This suggests to me that the markup file being produced cannot be found by pandoc. I can see what I think is the generated markup file in question at:
/Users/jim/Library/Application Support/addinsrepo/addins.md  

If my assumption above is correct, how do I go about fixing this so that pandoc finds the file to display?

not working in Rstudio preview Version 1.4.953

Addin list loads ok but i'm unable to select any item to install.

Failing to open Addinslist

When using GUI in Rstudio to select addinslist I get the following error

> addinslist:::addinslistAddin()
Loading required package: shiny

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:7467

usage of deprecated function in xml2

When installing packages, the following message appears:

Warning: 'xml2::xml_find_one' is deprecated.
Use 'xml_find_first' instead.

When clicking on a link inside a row, the package gets installed/uninstalled immediately because DT considers it a row click

Turn into an installation package

This could be much useful as the middlemen between add-ins and users. You can turn this into a package that allows looking at the list and installing the packages either from CRAN or github. You can either change this repo into the package, or to keep additions to this repo easier, have a secondary repo that you periodically update based on this one

This crashes RStudio on the Mac

I've got RStudio Version 1.1.383 and R 3.4.1. All packages are up to dates. When I run addinslist, it crashes after opening a new window and attempting to update the list of addins.

Add the ability to search within the installer app

With a growing list of RStudio Add-Ins it will be important to search for a specific Add-In.

Package name

The original repo name is rstudio-addins , because it was meant to just be a list of addins. But now that this list is going to evolve into a package that also lets you download the addins in the list, the package needs a name. I want the name to ideally convey both the fat that it's a list and that it's a package for getting the addins

Suggested names so far:

• addins4rstudio
• CLARA (Comprehensive List Archive for RStudio Add-Ins)
• addinstallist
• AddinStallR
• addinaddon

Automated detection of Rstudio Addins on CRAN

Hi, @daattali

I like your approach of listing out all the RStudio addins. To enhance it, I wrote some script last week to automate the detection of RStudio Addins on CRAN, and put them into a shinyapp. I hope it can help. :D

Here is the link: https://haozhu233.shinyapps.io/rstudio_addins_on_cran/
Here is the source: https://github.com/haozhu233/rstudio_addins_on_cran

Also, I just submitted a PR with Yihui's testit and bookdown, discovered by this app. :)

Add a "top" and "trending" tab.

To quickly gain an overview of the most popular and/or most recent Add-Ins, a clickable tab would be pretty cool. I don't know how one would technically implement this, though. Does anybody have an idea?

Add https://github.com/r-lib/styler

Perhaps you can add that addin to the list.

https://github.com/r-lib/styler

crashing whilst addinslist is updating

This is crashing whilst trying to update the list of rstudio addins. See below. Selecting the addin from the Rstudio addins menu shows the exact same behaviour. The problem is there whether I use the version on cran (install.packages('addinslist')), or installing from github (devtools::install_github('daattali/addinslist'))

addin drop down list not updated before restart R session

I installed addinlist and installed some addins from the list. However the installed addin didn't appear in addin drop down menu.

I have to restart R session or restart RStudio to see the newly installed addins.

Install addin manually through regular install.packages don't have this problem.
