Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

The function returns a data frame containing information about packages that are loaded with library(), require(), used with :: operator, listed in the DESCRIPTION file, and/or already loaded.

get_packages(
  project_path = ".",
  include_pattern = "\\.R(md)?$",
  exclude_pattern = "tests/",
  package_options = c("referenced", "library", "description")
)

`project_path`	A string representing the path of the project root in which the function will look recursively in order to find files that fit `include_pattern`
`include_pattern`	A string representing a regex that matches project files in which to look for packages. By default, `get_packages` looks for all .R and .Rmd files in the current project.
`exclude_pattern`	A string representing a regex that matches project files to exclude. By default, `get_packages` excludes all files found in "tests" folder.
`package_options`	A character vector that represents the method through which packages are loaded or referenced. The options are: `referenced` for packages referenced by the `::` operator, `library` for packages loaded using `library()` or `require()`, `description` for packages mentioned in `DESCRIPTION` file, and `loaded` for packages already loaded in the current session.

`package_name`	The name of the package
`requested_by`	The context in which the package was used
`is_base`	Whether package is part of the core R packages
