In box: Write Reusable, Composable and Modular R Code

Find exported names in parsed module source

Description

Find exported names in parsed module source

Usage

parse_export_specs(info, exprs, mod_ns)

use_call

static_assign_calls

assign_calls

is_static_assign_call(call)

is_assign_call(call)

block_is_assign(block)

block_is_use_call(block)

block_is_exported(block)

block_name(block)

Arguments

info	The module info.
exprs	The list of expressions of the parsed module.
mod_ns	The module namespace after evaluating the expressions.
call	A call to test.
block	A roxygen2 block to inspect.

Value

parse_export_specs returns a potentially empty character vector of exported names.

Note

There are two situations in which the @export tag can be applied:

1. When applied to assignments, the assigned name is exported.

2. When applied to a box::use call, the imported names are exported. This can be the module name itself, any attached names, or both. All names introduced by the box::use call are exported. See use for the rules governing what names are introduced into the scope, and thus exported.

In any other situation, applying the @export tag is an error.
