plungr

plungr (ˈplʌn(d)ʒər) is an opinionated RStudio project template for building Plumber APIs as packages.

Building your API as a package has some benefits:

• Use testthat to test your functions and the API itself
• Document every function and every endpoint
• Easier integration with CI/CD services like Travis or Jenkins
• Functions are reusable outside of the API project

Using plungr

Install the development version of plungr with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ozean12/plungr")

Acknowledgments

plungr wouldn't exist without the golem package, which does an amazing job at packaging Shiny apps.

The idea for this package came from a post by Julia Silge on RStudio community. There you can find further information about the topic of packaging Plumber APIs.
