Retrieve a pin (legacy API)

Description

Retrieves a pin by name from the local or given board.

Usage

pin_get(
  name,
  board = NULL,
  cache = TRUE,
  extract = NULL,
  version = NULL,
  files = FALSE,
  signature = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

name	The name of the pin.
board	The board where this pin will be retrieved from.
cache	Should the pin cache be used? Defaults to TRUE.
extract	Should compressed files be extracted? Each board defines the default behavior.
version	The version of the dataset to retrieve, defaults to latest one.
files	Should only the file names be returned?
signature	Optional signature to validate this pin, use pin_info() to compute signature.
...	Additional parameters.

Details

pin_get() retrieves a pin by name and, by default, from the local board. You can use the board parameter to specify which board to retrieve a pin from. If a board is not specified, it will use pin_find() to find the pin across all boards and retrieve the one that matches by name.

Examples

# define temporary board
board <- legacy_temp()
pin(mtcars, board = board)

# retrieve the mtcars pin
pin_get("mtcars", board = board)
