lib.dependencies: List the dependencies of a package.

In multiversion: Version Controlled Package Manager

List the dependencies of a package.

Description

Provide a package name (can be without quotes) to show its dependencies. To list all dependencies of the complete library, use the inverse function "lib.dependsOnMe(all)" with the value 'all'. That function also does not require quotes when calling it. So lib.dependencies(package.a) will work.

Usage

lib.dependencies(
  packageName,
  do_print = TRUE,
  character.only = FALSE,
  lib_location = lib.location()
)

Arguments

packageName	The (unquoted) package name for which you would like to print the dependencies.
do_print	If true (default), prints the dependencies. In both cases, the dependencies are returned invisibly.
character.only	If TRUE, (FALSE by default), the package names can be provided as character vector. Otherwise, direct unquoted package names are supported.
lib_location	The folder containing the R_MV_library structure where this function observes the dependencies. By default, it checks the environment variable R_MV_LIBRARY_LOCATION for this directory.

Value

When do_print is TRUE, will print use message to show the provided package(s) his dependencies. Also returns the dependencies invisibly.

Examples

## Not run: 
    lib.dependencies(dplyr)
    lib.dependencies('devtools', character.only = TRUE)
    devtools_deps <- lib.dependencies(devtools, do_print = FALSE)

## End(Not run)
