functions

Search for dependencies of function find_functions within parsed functions:

dependency <- find_dependencies("find_functions", envir = envir, in_envir = TRUE)
dependency

Note that SourceNamespace column has value user-defined as the functions are searched within source of the package.

Search for all dependencies of find_functions function:

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

dependency <- find_dependencies("find_functions", envir = envir, in_envir = FALSE)
dependency %>% 
  slice_max(SourceRep, n = 10) %>% 
  mutate(Source = reorder(Source, SourceRep)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = Source, y = SourceRep, fill = SourceNamespace)) +
  geom_col() +
  coord_flip() +
  labs(caption = "Top 10 most repeated calls in 'find_functions'.")

Note that name df is often used to store object of type data.frame. df is also a name of F distribution density function from stats package. If you suspect that given function ought not to use a specific package, see the source code of function to check the context. To do so, one can execute find_dependencies function with add_info argument set to TRUE.

library(tidyr)

dependency <- find_dependencies("find_functions", envir = envir, in_envir = FALSE, add_info = TRUE)
dependency %>% 
  filter(SourceNamespace == "stats") %>% 
  select(Source, SourcePosition, SourceContext) %>% 
  unnest(c(SourcePosition, SourceContext))

One can see that indeed df is not a call to function stats::df.

dependency <- find_dependencies(unique(functions$Function), envir = envir, in_envir = FALSE)
dependency %>% 
  distinct(Target, TargetInDegree) %>%
  mutate(Target = reorder(Target, TargetInDegree)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = Target, y = TargetInDegree)) +
  geom_col() +
  coord_flip() + 
  labs(caption = "Functions with most function calls.")

dependency <- find_dependencies(unique(functions$Function), envir = envir, in_envir = FALSE)
dependency %>% 
  group_by(SourceNamespace) %>% 
  tally(name = "Count") %>% 
  slice_max(Count, n = 10) %>% 
  mutate(SourceNamespace = reorder(SourceNamespace, Count)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = SourceNamespace, y = Count)) +
  geom_col() +
  coord_flip() +
  labs(caption = "Top 10 used namespaces.")

See which user-defined functions depend most on other user-defined functions within searched codebase.

dependency <- find_dependencies(unique(functions$Function), envir = envir, in_envir = TRUE)
dependency %>% 
  distinct(Target, TargetInDegree) %>% 
  arrange(-TargetInDegree)
