makeregistry

The goal of makeregistry is to create the JSON that's used to display packages on ropensci.org/packages

Installation

remotes::install_github("ropensci/codemetar")
remotes::install_github("ropenscilabs/makeregistry")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem.

The codemeta creation needs to be run in the server where we have a repos/ folder with all clones. The old_cm parameter allows to use older entries for packages for which CodeMeta creation fails for some reason.

if(!file.exists("raw_cm.json")){
  old_cm <- "https://github.com/ropensci/roregistry/blob/gh-pages/raw_cm.json?raw=true"
}else{
  old_cm <- "raw_cm.json"
}

codemeta <- makeregistry::create_codemetas(old_cm = old_cm)

jsonlite::write_json(codemeta, path = "raw_cm.json",
                     pretty = TRUE, auto_unbox = TRUE)

makeregistry::create_registry(cm = "raw_cm.json",
                              outpat = "registry.json")
                              
# find some way to upload raw_cm.json and registry.json to the roregistry repo.
