A festive digital illustration features the blue R logo wearing a red Santa hat with white trim on the left. To its right stands a green Christmas tree made entirely of curly braces arranged in a triangular shape. White and light-blue %>% pipe symbols float across a dark blue, starry background like snowflakes. A speech bubble above the R logo says “Ho Ho Ho! 📦” in red text. At the bottom, white text reads: “R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025” and below it, “25 Days of Coding Magic • Dec 1–25.

Day 23: cli - Beautiful Command Line Interfaces

Create user-friendly messages and progress indicators.

Pro Tip: Use semantic markup like {.fn function_name} and {.val value} for consistent formatting.
Resources: cli.r-lib.org

#RpackageAdvent2025 #rstats
cli::cli_progress_bar("Processing files", total = length(files)) for (file in files) { # process file cli::cli_progress_update() } cli::cli_alert_success("Package built successfully!") cli::cli_alert_warning("Missing documentation for {.fn my_function}") cli::cli_abort("Invalid input: {.val {invalid_value}}")

In which use cases does #RStats excel for you compared to other languages?

If you've done it other ways and speak from experience, even better.

I'm considering writing a proposal for R Consortium ISC funding to write a free & open source book on LLMs/AI in R. Advice out there is scattered between different resources. Wondering if this is something the wider #rstats community would be interested in, & what folks would like to see in there?

Hey #rstats friends! 👋

Only one week to go until my "Introduction to R Packages" tutorial at #WOMBAT2025!

This is a gentle introduction to making R packages, going from initial code to `devtools::check()`

Still plenty of spots available :)

In case you didn't know:

You can run your package unit tests with {testthat} in parallel with two simple steps (see testthat.r-lib.org/articles/par...):

tldr:
1. Add `Config/testthat/parallel: true` to DESCRIPTION.
2. Add `TESTTHAT_CPUS=8` to your .Renviron and restart R.

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Ever wonder how an actuary becomes a data science educator? 🤔

Tune into the latest episode of The Test Set with @minecr.bsky.social. We discuss everything from her #RStats journey to her use of LLMs to give students feedback on their code.
