pkgdown site

[topepo]

If you were to implement a pkgdown site, we could include your recipe step in the function reference on tidymodels.org.

There are some easy functions to set this up to run automatically, such as usethis::use_github_action("pkgdown"). I can help if you need to get it configured.

I'd be happy to implement a pkgdown site. I used the usethis function you mentioned, but I'm a little unsure how to complete the set up from here. Is it as simple as editing a few lines in the .github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml file? If not, can I take you up on your offer of help to get it configured? Or, if you could point me to a tutorial in doing so, that works too. Thanks!

Now I suggest using usethis::use_tidy_github_actions(); it sets up a lot of stuff in general. We've started using the pak package for installs; it really cuts down on the random errors using install.packages(). That's new so you might want to re-create them.

After that, you can go to the settings and look for GitHub Pages. From there, use

and, after about 15 min, use this option:

The link to the site would then be https://petersonR.github.io/bestNormalize. You should put that in the URL field of the DESCRIPTION file after the current url.

One detail: when you have a .9000-ish version number, it puts the files in a dev path. For example, the non-9000 link would look like https://pkgdown.r-lib.org/ while the dev version is found at https://pkgdown.r-lib.org/dev.

You might want to run the action with Version: 1.7.0 and once again with Version: 1.7.0.9999 to get both sites.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've used the usethis package and set up a lot of stuff, as you said. I tried to implement the pak package, but got an odd error when trying to do so. I will update the version to 1.8.0 soon, and release the non-dev version of the packagedown website at that time and close this issue. Hopefully with the new website, this can be added to tidymodels.org? Let me know if there's more I can do to help set that up.

Version 1.8.0 now published to CRAN and pkgdown documentation is up: https://petersonr.github.io/bestNormalize/. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help get this onto the tidymodels.org recipes list - for now though I'm going to close this.
