drake_envir {drake}R Documentation

Get the environment where drake builds targets [Questioning]

Description

Call this function inside the commands in your plan to get the environment where drake builds targets. Advanced users can use it to strategically remove targets from memory while make() is running.

Usage

drake_envir(which = c("targets", "dynamic", "subtargets", "imports"))

Arguments

which

Character of length 1, which environment to select. See the details of this help file.

Details

drake manages in-memory targets in 4 environments: one with sub-targets, one with whole dynamic targets, one with static targets, and one with imported global objects and functions. This last environment is usually the environment from which you call make(). Select the appropriate environment for your use case with the which argument of drake_envir().

Value

The environment where drake builds targets.

Keywords

drake_plan() understands special keyword functions for your commands. With the exception of target(), each one is a proper function with its own help file.
