This function auto-detects the location of your package logo (with the name logo.svg (recommended format) or logo.png, created with usethis::use_logo()) and runs it through the https://realfavicongenerator.net API to build a complete set of favicons with different sizes, as needed for modern web usage.

You only need to run the function once. The favicon set will be stored in pkgdown/favicon and copied by init_site() to the relevant location when the website is rebuilt.

Once complete, you should add pkgdown/ to .Rbuildignore to avoid a NOTE during package checking. (usethis::use_logo() does this for you!)

Usage

build_favicons(pkg = ".", overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

pkg

Path to package.

overwrite

If TRUE, re-create favicons from package logo.
