box_auth_on_attach: Authenticate to Box (interactive) automatically

In boxr: Interface for the 'Box.com API'

Description

This function is deprecated, and may be removed at the next release.

This function saves you the effort of typing box_auth() after the package loads. Executing box_auth_on_attach(TRUE) will mean that boxr will automatically attempt to authorize itself when 'attached' (e.g. library(boxr)), using the credentials from the current session.

Usage

box_auth_on_attach(auth_on_attach = FALSE)

Arguments

auth_on_attach

logical, indicates if boxr should authenticate as soon as it's loaded.

Value

Invisible NULL, called for side effects.

Note

This is provided for convenience, but it's a bad idea to use, if:

• You'd like your code to be reproducible. Even if your collaborators have access to the same files on box.com, as the default behaviour is to require using box_auth(), code is likely to become irreproducible.

• You use more than one box.com account. Things could get rather confusing.
