Suggesting or replicating usethis functions about rextendr HOT 9 CLOSED

I've got one more PR coming surrounding the way templates are handled that will close this

from rextendr.

That's mostly just my ignorance. Feel free to change. I'd rather have a cli dependency than usethis dependency.

from rextendr.

Ok, I'll prep a PR exploring that. Thanks!

I just want to point out that here r-lib/usethis#956 hadley recommends to use {cli} instead of ui_* (at least that's how I understand his message). I suggest to use {cli} (see some crude examples in #65).

Oh, great that you're already planning to import cli. Yes, there's some nice guidance here for writing usethis-like ui: https://cli.r-lib.org/articles/usethis-ui.html. I think limiting to cli makes sense for this use case.

Please take into account this set of functions when adding {cli} support

Thanks! I had intended to that in this PR, so awesome 😎

I might continue waiting on this until #88/#70 are resolved as that directly affects the approach for this small issue

from rextendr.

FYI Now that this other work has settled, I'll try to get a PR up for this in the next day or two

from rextendr.

@malcolmbarrett,
Should this be closed or are there any other features you think should be implemented?
