RCFF

This package follows up on a proposal shared on the citation-file-format GitHub page by providing tools to convert between the standardized Citation File Format (CFF) and the structure of an R package DESCRIPTION file.

Installation and Usage

This package is still very early in development, but you can still install it and take it for a spin at your own risk.

Install the development version of RCFF with

remotes::install_github("ocbe-uio/RCFF")

and run

r2cff()

To see part of the package's description file converted to CFF. You can also provide the path (absolute or relative) to some other DESCRIPTION file to test it. Moreover, example(r2cff()) will also provide an example of how to use the package.

General information about the package can be found on ?RCFF.
