Package for Easy Interfacing with Repo

[dgkf]

Assuming the r-hub/repos is fruitful, it would be nice to have a few functions for demo'ing a user-friendly interaction with the repo.

• Similar to the .Rprofile tools mentioned in dgkf/rvalhub-repo-filters-mvp, we could put the filtering criteria as a function into some package to represent a R Validation Hub "best practice".

• Decide on a package name

• Modify installed package DESCRIPTION post-installation to include metrics

• Add PACKAGES file into inst directory

• Function for specifying filters (maybe defaults for "low", "medium" risk?)
  Ideally, function could look like

  risk_fields()
  # [1] "coverage" "examples_coverage"
  
  # manually specify options
  options(available_package_filters = risk_filter(coverage > 0.5 & examples_coverage > 0.8))
  
  # or use a helper function to update options directly
  add_risk_filter(coverage > 0.5 & examples_coverage > 0.8))

• A very basic "report" that uses metrics/logs to populate a template

Even if it starts small, I think this will be a good way to share amongst ourselves our own scripts for testing the repo and eventually can house some best practices that might make a process easier to adopt.

I'm open to any and all suggestions for a repo name and am happy to kick one off if someone is interested in taking the lead.
