Automatic documentations of functions for Shiny app using RStudio

Question

I am developing a Shiny app at the moment and getting to a point with more functions than I expected. I plan to start automated testing with testthat and I would love to document my functions with roxygen2 .

Since I am using RStudio, I started a new shiny app project. Now I am wondering, since I want the documentation and testing done, if I should instead start a package in RStudio to get all the devtools functions.

I am wondering, how to get the functions documented properly and like in the build , to test the examples. Plus using the testthat functions. How can I set up a project like this?

Since I found now a workflow which works for me, I described this on a different question.

developing shiny app as a package and deploying it to shiny server
