Package {drhur}

Calling for a Workshop in Dr Hu's R Workshop

Description

The function renders a self-contained Quarto Live document from the workshop materials shipped with the package and opens it in the browser. Each workshop is an interactive document whose code cells run in the browser via WebAssembly (webR); no local R session is required to run the exercises. The workshop list is continually updated along with the R workshop with Dr. Hu.

Usage

drhur(
  workshop,
  lang = "cn",
  style = "document",
  output_dir = tempdir(),
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

Details

The workshops available in the current version (Basics series):

• algebra: Basic maths, vectors, and matrices with R syntax.

• play: Basic data structures; inputting, outputting, and creating data.

• munging: Generalizing and extracting data frames (sorting, summarizing, selecting, mutating).

• descriptive: Describing variables and data, including summary tables and distribution plots.

• visual_basic: Presenting variables, patterns, and estimates with visualization tools.

• loop: Conditionals, loops, and batch processing.

Every workshop ships in two language editions, selected with lang: simplified Chinese ("cn", the default) and English ("en").

Rendering requires the Quarto command-line tool to be installed. Running the interactive code cells in the rendered document additionally requires an internet connection, because the webR runtime and the workshop's R packages are downloaded in the browser at view time.

Because Quarto Live cells run on OJS and webR, which browsers disable for documents opened directly from disk (file://), the workshop is served over a local web server rather than opened as a file. This serving step uses the servr package, a suggested dependency; install it with install.packages("servr") if prompted. In an interactive session the server is started in the background (so your R console stays free) and remains available for the rest of the session; stop it with servr::daemon_stop().

Value

(Invisibly) the path to the rendered HTML file.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Open the algebra workshop as an HTML live document (Chinese, the default)
drhur("algebra")

# Open the same workshop in English
drhur("algebra", lang = "en")

# Open the data-munging workshop as a slide deck
drhur("munging", style = "slide")

## End(Not run)
