<h1 class="title toc-ignore">Get started with roxygen2</h1>

Documentation is one of the most important aspects of good code.
Without it, users won’t know how to use your package, and are unlikely
to do so. Documentation is also useful for you in the future (so you
remember what the heck you were thinking!), and for other developers
working on your package. The goal of roxygen2 is to make documenting
your code as easy as possible.
R provides a standard way of documenting packages: you write
<code>.Rd</code> files in the <code>man/</code> directory. These files
use a custom syntax, loosely based on LaTeX. roxygen2 provides a number
of advantages over writing <code>.Rd</code> files by hand:
<ul>
<li>Code and documentation are adjacent so when you modify your code,
it’s easy to remember that you need to update the
documentation.</li>
<li>roxygen2 dynamically inspects the objects that it’s documenting,
so it can automatically add data that you’d otherwise have to write by
hand.</li>
<li>It abstracts over the differences in documenting S3 and S4
methods, generics and classes, so you need to learn fewer
details.</li>
</ul>
As well as generating <code>.Rd</code> files, roxygen will also
create a <code>NAMESPACE</code> for you, and will manage the
<code>Collate</code> field in <code>DESCRIPTION</code>.
<div id="learn-more" class="section level2">
<h2>Learn more</h2>
This vignette provides a high-level description of roxygen2 and the
overall workflow you’ll use with it. The other vignettes provide more
detail on the most important individual components:
<ul>
<li>Start with <code>vignette(&quot;rd&quot;)</code> to learn how document your
functions with roxygen2.</li>
<li><code>vignette(&quot;rd-other&quot;)</code> discusses how to document other
things like datasets, the package itself, and the various pieces used by
R’s OOP systems.</li>
<li><code>vignette(&quot;rd-formatting&quot;)</code> gives the details of
roxygen2’s rmarkdown support.</li>
<li><code>vignette(&quot;reuse&quot;)</code> demonstrates the tools available
to reuse documentation in multiple places.</li>
<li><code>vignette(&quot;namespace&quot;)</code> describes how to generate a
<code>NAMESPACE</code> file, how namespacing works in R, and how you can
use roxygen2 to be specific about what your package needs and
supplies.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="running-roxygen" class="section level2">
<h2>Running roxygen</h2>
There are three main ways to run roxygen:
<ul>
<li><code>roxygen2::roxygenise()</code>.</li>
<li><code>devtools::document()</code>.</li>
<li><code>Ctrl + Shift + D</code>, if you’re using RStudio.</li>
</ul>
You can mix handwritten Rd and roxygen2; roxygen2 will never
overwrite a file it didn’t create.
</div>
<div id="basic-process" class="section level2">
<h2>Basic process</h2>
There are three steps in the transformation from roxygen comments in
your source file to human readable documentation:
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>You add roxygen comments to your source file.</li>
<li><code>roxygen2::roxygenise()</code> converts roxygen comments to
<code>.Rd</code> files.</li>
<li>R converts <code>.Rd</code> files to human readable
documentation.</li>
</ol>
The process starts when you add specially formatted roxygen comments
to your source file. Roxygen comments start with <code>#&#39;</code> so you
can continue to use regular comments for other purposes.
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"><pre class="sourceCode r"><code class="sourceCode r"><a href="#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; Add together two numbers
<a href="#cb1-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39;
<a href="#cb1-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @param x A number.
<a href="#cb1-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @param y A number.
<a href="#cb1-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @return A number.
<a href="#cb1-6" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @examples
<a href="#cb1-7" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; add(1, 1)
<a href="#cb1-8" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; add(10, 1)
<a href="#cb1-9" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>add &lt;- function(x, y) {
<a href="#cb1-10" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a> x + y
<a href="#cb1-11" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>}</code></pre></div>
For the example above, this will generate <code>man/add.Rd</code>
that looks like:
<pre class="rd"><code>% Generated by roxygen2: do not edit by hand
% Please edit documentation in ./&lt;text&gt;
\name{add}
\alias{add}
\title{Add together two numbers}
\usage{
add(x, y)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{A number.}

\item{y}{A number.}
}
\value{
A number.
}
\description{
Add together two numbers
}
\examples{
add(1, 1)
add(10, 1)
}</code></pre>
Rd files are a special file format loosely based on LaTeX. You can
read more about the Rd format in the <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Rd-format">R
extensions</a> manual. With roxygen2, there are few reasons to know
about Rd files, so here I’ll avoid discussing them as much as possible,
focusing instead on what you need to know about roxygen2.
When you use <code>?x</code>, <code>help(&quot;x&quot;)</code> or
<code>example(&quot;x&quot;)</code> R looks for an Rd file containing
<code>\alias{x}</code>. It then parses the file, converts it into HTML
and displays it. These functions look for an Rd file in
installed packages. This isn’t very useful for package
development, because you want to use the <code>.Rd</code> files in the
source package. For this reason, we recommend that you use
roxygen2 in conjunction with devtools: <code>devtools::load_all()</code>
automatically adds shims so that <code>?</code> and friends will look in
the development package. Note, however, that this preview does not work
with intra-package links. To preview those, you’ll need to install the
package. If you use RStudio, the easiest way to do this is to click the
“Build &amp; Reload button”.
<div id="rcpp" class="section level3">
<h3>Rcpp</h3>
You can also use roxygen2 with Rcpp. Simply include roxygen2 comments
in your C++ code (using <code>//</code> instead of <code>#</code>), and
Rcpp will automatically carry the comments along into
<code>RcppExports.R</code> where roxygen2 will find them.
For example, dplyr has <code>between.cpp</code> which starts:
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre class="sourceCode cpp"><code class="sourceCode cpp"><a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; Do values in a numeric vector fall in specified range?
<a href="#cb3-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39;
<a href="#cb3-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; This is a shortcut for `x &gt;= left &amp; x &lt;= right`, implemented
<a href="#cb3-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; efficiently in C++ for local values, and translated to the
<a href="#cb3-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; appropriate SQL for remote tables.
<a href="#cb3-6" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39;
<a href="#cb3-7" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; @param x A numeric vector of values.
<a href="#cb3-8" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; @param left,right Boundary values.
<a href="#cb3-9" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; @export
<a href="#cb3-10" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; @examples
<a href="#cb3-11" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; between(1:12, 7, 9)
<a href="#cb3-12" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39;
<a href="#cb3-13" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; x &lt;- rnorm(1e2)
<a href="#cb3-14" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>//&#39; x[between(x, -1, 1)]
<a href="#cb3-15" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>// [[Rcpp::export(rng = false)]]
<a href="#cb3-16" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>Rcpp::LogicalVector between(Rcpp::NumericVector x, double left, double right) {
<a href="#cb3-17" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>}</code></pre></div>
This is automatically translated to the following R code in
<code>RcppExports.R</code>:
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb4"><pre class="sourceCode r"><code class="sourceCode r"><a href="#cb4-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; Do values in a numeric vector fall in specified range?
<a href="#cb4-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39;
<a href="#cb4-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; This is a shortcut for `x &gt;= left &amp; x &lt;= right`, implemented
<a href="#cb4-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; efficiently in C++ for local values, and translated to the
<a href="#cb4-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; appropriate SQL for remote tables.
<a href="#cb4-6" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39;
<a href="#cb4-7" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @param x A numeric vector of values.
<a href="#cb4-8" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @param left,right Boundary values.
<a href="#cb4-9" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @export
<a href="#cb4-10" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; @examples
<a href="#cb4-11" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; between(1:12, 7, 9)
<a href="#cb4-12" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39;
<a href="#cb4-13" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; x &lt;- rnorm(1e2)
<a href="#cb4-14" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>#&#39; x[between(x, -1, 1)]
<a href="#cb4-15" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>between &lt;- function(x, left, right) {
<a href="#cb4-16" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a>}</code></pre></div>
