R: Acquire the dependencies of the package on any depth level

deepdep {deepdep}

R Documentation

Acquire the dependencies of the package on any depth level

Description

This function is an ultimate wrapper for get_dependencies. It inherits all of the arguments and allows to recursively search for the dependencies at the higher level of depth.

Usage

deepdep(
  package,
  depth = 1,
  downloads = FALSE,
  bioc = FALSE,
  local = FALSE,
  dependency_type = "strong"
)

Arguments

`package`	A `character`. Name of the package that is on CRAN, Bioconductor repository or locally installed. See `bioc` and `local` arguments.
`depth`	An `integer`. Maximum depth level of the dependency. By default it's `1`.
`downloads`	A `logical`. If `TRUE` add dependency downloads data. By default it's `FALSE`.
`bioc`	A `logical` value. If `TRUE` the Bioconductor dependencies data will be taken from the Bioconductor repository. For this option to work properly, `BiocManager` package needs to be installed.
`local`	A `logical` value. If `TRUE` only data of locally installed packages will be used (without API usage).
`dependency_type`	A `character` vector. Types of the dependencies that should be sought, a subset of `c("Imports", "Depends", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", "Enhances")`. Other possibilities are: character string `"all"`, a shorthand for the whole vector; character string `"most"` for the same vector without `"Enhances"`; character string `"strong"` (default) for the first three elements of that vector. Works analogously to `package_dependencies`.

Value

An object of deepdep class.

Examples



library(deepdep)

dd_downloads <- deepdep("ggplot2")
head(dd_downloads)

dd_2 <- deepdep("ggplot2", depth = 2, downloads = TRUE)
plot_dependencies(dd_2, "circular")

dd_local <- deepdep("deepdep", local = TRUE)
plot_dependencies(dd_local)
