@ImportFrom once at package level

[robchallen]

@ImportFrom scope is at the level of the package, so you can create a package level Roxygen block with usethis::use_package_doc() and put the @ImportFrom directives in there. Then run devtools::document() and the NAMESPACE file is updated and you don;t need to declare it everywhere.

N.B. this is not what I personally do, which is to namespace all calls to all functions and import nothing, but my usecase is package development, and it is tedious to get it right.

Also for something like simmer I'd consider just using @Import and pulling the whole thing in.

Ooo good tip about having them all in one place! Thank you.

• On package page, explain to run usethis::use_package_doc().
• Move "How to run the example code" from patients page to where code is first introduced (i.e., input modelling) (or even, to package page) and amend description to say @importFrom are in file generated by usethis.
• On docstrings.qmd, explain that @importFrom can be in docstrings but that easier to maintain with the package-level docs. Also, that can do namespace calls to all functions but that's more for package dev than this usecase.
• Remove @importFrom tags from all docstrings, and instead add a new file with the list of @importFrom which is updated between each page.
