Automatic documentations of functions for Shiny app using RStudio


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?
