How to write an example function for r package

Question

I have a package with about 50 functions. Each one has examples. The examples use a .rda data files. Most of the time the examples are short and work fine. However I have 10 functions that rely on the prior manipulation by other functions in the package (all in exactly the same way) so the examples become rather long. Is there a way of therefore creating a function to provide the data manipulation for these higher order functions so I don't have to clutter up the examples text?

Answer 1

Assuming you have something like

a <- funca()
b <- funcb(a)
c <- funcc(b)
d <- funcd(c)

And you need to use d for your remaining 10 functions examples, I would just include d as an example dataset. You can document the dataset for how it was generated, but in the example for your 10 functions you could just use it as is.
