rstudioAddinFriend helps you build RStudio addins. At the moment, this package includes several helpful addins that return active RStudio contexts that are available when you run an RStudio addin.
Running one of the ... Context addins will call the corresponding function in rstudioapi and will save the result to a global variable. For example, running Get Console Editor Context runs rstudioapi::getConsoleEditorContext() and saves the result to .consoleEditorContext.
## Saving rstudioapi::getConsoleEditorContext() to .consoleEditorContext
str(.consoleEditorContext)
## List of 4
## $ id : chr "#console"
## $ path : chr ""
## $ contents : chr ""
## $ selection:List of 1
## ..$ :List of 2
## .. ..$ range: int [1:4] 1 1 1 1
## .. ..$ text : chr ""Or run Get All RStudio Context to run all of the other addins at once.
