Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

skmisc 0.6.0

• Added several type validation functions (is_*_scalar) for robust input checks, including:

  • is_bool_scalar() – check if a value is exactly TRUE or FALSE
  • is_char_scalar() – check if a value is a single non-empty character
  • is_numeric_scalar() – check if a value is a single numeric scalar

• Added corresponding checker functions that raise an error if validation fails, e.g.:

  • check_bool_scalar(TRUE) passes, check_bool_scalar(NA) throws a rlang_error

  • check_char_scalar("hello") passes, check_char_scalar(" ") throws a rlang_error

  • check_numeric_scalar(0.5) passes, check_numeric_scalar(NA) throws a rlang_error

• Made all is_* and check_* functions consistent in naming and behavior.

• Added comprehensive testthat tests for all validation and check functions.

• Output the directory tree of the created article template

skmisc 0.4.0

• Enhanced the function error, warning or simple messages.
• Linted the package code using lintr and formatted the code using air

skmisc 0.3.0

• Renamed the funciton bib_title_to_title_case to bib_title_case and used lifecycle::deprecate_warn.

skmisc 0.2.0

Function bib_title_to_title_case

• Added components argument to selectively title-case fields ("title", "booktitle", "journal") or "all" fields (“all” by default).
• Added overwrite argument to control whether existing output files are replaced.
• Used safe_title_case() helper to protect text inside braces and safely apply title case.
• Input/output validation improved using fs and cli for robust error messages.
• Refactored component processing to a loop: fast, safe, avoids code duplication.
• Internal helpers is_char_scalar() and wrap_braces_once() added.

skmisc 0.1.3

• Updated bib_title_to_title_case to use multi-line cli message formatting.
• Added cli message formatting in create_article_template.
• Started using R package cli to format package messages consistently.

skmisc 0.1.2

• Added the create_article_template() function that generates an article template for the specified journal using the rmarkdown::draft function from the rticles package. It checks whether the journal is supported, creates the necessary directories and files, and formats the article rmarkdown file by adding section chunks and an abstract.

skmisc 0.1.1

• Modified the bib_title_to_title_case() by adding curly brackets in title so that title casing gets preserved.
