Themed extensions for workflowr research workflows
reflowR extends the workflowr package with themed color schemes, structured analysis pipeline templates, and utility scripts for reproducible research. It wraps workflowr::wflow_start() to create a standard workflowr project, then layers on a complete theming and scaffolding system.
- 5 color schemes -- clinical (red), basic research (steelblue), code/statistics (forest green), special (purple), other (grey) -- each with a custom SVG icon, 8-color palette, and full CSS/SCSS theme
- ggplot2 theme + table styling that automatically matches the selected scheme
- Themed navbar with gradient, icon, and pipeline dropdown menu
- 3 depth presets -- minimal (3 steps), standard (8 steps), extended (12 steps) -- providing a structured Rmd analysis pipeline
- 6 utility scripts in
code/-- setup, utils, formulary, data I/O, table helpers, plot helpers - Quarto report template with dual HTML/PDF output
All generated projects remain fully compatible with standard workflowr commands (wflow_build(), wflow_publish(), etc.).
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("r-heller/reflowR")
# workflowr is installed automatically as a dependencyOr using remotes:
remotes::install_github("r-heller/reflowR")library(reflowR)
# Create a clinical research project with the standard 8-step pipeline
reflow_init(
directory = "~/projects/my_analysis",
author = "Your Name",
email = "you@example.com",
scheme = "clinical",
depth = "standard"
)
# Then use standard workflowr commands:
workflowr::wflow_build()
workflowr::wflow_publish("analysis/*.Rmd", message = "Initial build")| Scheme | Label | Primary | Use Case |

reflow_presets()reflowR calls workflowr::wflow_start() to create the standard workflowr scaffold, then enhances it with themed files. The result is a standard workflowr project -- all workflowr commands work as expected.
