Highlight outdated packages

Only load required packages

Ask for update

All packages up to date

from easystats.

I have revised the startup a bit. In needed are those packages that are out of date, which I want to print in a different color. I'm working on the coloring later.

It's not less verbose, but more informative. And red version number indicates outdated pkg.

Wow, awesome!!! Looks very pro 👌

questions:

• Is it possible to conditionally display the "red = needs update", i.e., if there is an outdated package, then add something like Update packages in red with 'easystats_update()'
• Maybe replace the * by ticks (tidyverse uses: crayon::green(cli::symbol$tick))? But needs cli AND might look to tidyverserian 😁

in the most recent commit, I also checked if dev-versions are installed, else the function to load all libs would fail.

And I just copied the unicode for the two symbols, we don't need to import cli here.

I think we can use the "warning" sign instead of cross, else it would rather look like failed to attach, which is not the case.

This looks great guys! Great idea and well executed

However, I got this note when trying...

from easystats.

easystats is only available from GitHub, and probably ever will. CRAN teams does not want to have packages which solely purpose is to load and check other packages (no idea how tidyverse made it to CRAN, maybe they setup this rule later).

I just looked at the source code and it looks pretty straightforward, with this as the on attach start up message:

.onAttach <- function(...) {
  needed <- core[!is_attached(core)]
  if (length(needed) == 0)
    return()

  crayon::num_colors(TRUE)
  tidyverse_attach()

  x <- tidyverse_conflicts()
  msg(tidyverse_conflict_message(x), startup = TRUE)
}

is_attached <- function(x) {
  paste0("package:", x) %in% search()
}

Here's how they organized the package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tidyverse/tidyverse.pdf

Not sure if this is valuable...

CRAN or not CRAN, I am closing this issue as it has been addressed ☺️
