RStudio¶

An RStudio add-in that launches the dashboard in the Viewer pane. File navigation uses a FIFO-based bridge that calls rstudioapi::navigateToFile().

Installation¶

Install directly from GitHub:

remotes::install_github("vincentarelbundock/scrutin/editors/rstudio")

Or clone the GitHub repository and build from source:

make rstudio    # R CMD INSTALL editors/rstudio

Requires: jsonlite, later, processx, rstudioapi.

Unlike the VS Code and Positron extensions, the RStudio add-in does not bundle the scrutin binary. Install it separately (see the install instructions) and either ensure it's on $PATH or point at it explicitly with options(scrutin.binary = "/path/to/scrutin").

Usage¶

scrutin_start()           # start server + show dashboard
scrutin_start(watch = FALSE)
scrutin_stop()            # stop server + cleanup
scrutin_status()          # check if running, show URL + PID
scrutin_show()            # re-show the dashboard in Viewer
scrutin_init()            # scaffold .scrutin/config.toml in the project

These are also available from the Addins menu in RStudio.
