R: Acquire the dependencies of the package

get_dependencies {deepdep}

R Documentation

Acquire the dependencies of the package

Description

This function uses get_description and get_downloads to acquire the dependencies of the package (with their downloads).

Usage

get_dependencies(
  package,
  downloads = TRUE,
  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.
`downloads`	A `logical`. If `TRUE` add package downloads data. By default it's `TRUE`.
`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 package_dependencies class.

Examples

library(deepdep)


dependencies <- get_dependencies("htmltools", downloads = FALSE)
dependencies

dependencies_local <- get_dependencies("deepdep", downloads = FALSE, local = TRUE)
dependencies_local
