  • httpgd

    Asynchronous http server graphics device for R.

  • I use httpgd (set up using the instructions here) to render ggplot plots from vscode. You can set it up to render directly to a pane in vscode, but I usually put the plots in a browser window on a separate monitor.

  • radian

    A 21 century R console

  • For function docs, if you have the R vscode extension and languageserver package installed, the command "R: Show help" (which you can access from the command palette or bind to a keyboard shortcut) brings up a list of options. Also, if you use radian, which vscode does by default with the R extension, the standard ?myfunction syntax in the terminal will open a rich-text function reference in a vscode pane.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
