pkgdown.offline provides support for offline builds of pkgdown websites, especially for pkgdown versions >= 2.1.0.
It works by bundling cached frontend dependencies from different pkgdown versions and implementing drop-in replacements for key functions. This allows you to build documentation websites in development workflows or CI/CD pipelines without internet access.
You can install the development version of pkgdown.offline from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("nanxstats/pkgdown.offline")Use pkgdown.offline::build_site() and
pkgdown.offline::init_site() to replace the original
pkgdown::build_site() or pkgdown::init_site()
calls in your original development or CI/CD workflow.
