package_dependencies: Find current installations

In repo.data: R Repository Data

Find current installations

Description

Despite the description minimal requirements find which versions are required due to dependencies.

Usage

package_dependencies(packages = ".", which = "strong")

Arguments

packages	Path to a file with a DESCRIPTION file or package's names from a repository.
which	a character vector listing the types of dependencies, a subset of c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", "Enhances"). Character string "all" is shorthand for that vector, character string "most" for the same vector without "Enhances", character string "strong" (default) for the first three elements of that vector.

Value

A data.frame with the name, version required, if only one package requires it it also show the name of the package.

Note

It keeps the base packages too even if just knowing the R version required would be enough.

Examples

pd <- package_dependencies("ggeasy")
head(pd)
