use_extendr: Set up a package for use with Rust extendr code

In rextendr: Call Rust Code from R using the 'extendr' Crate

Set up a package for use with Rust extendr code

Description

Create the scaffolding needed to add Rust extendr code to an R package. use_extendr() adds a small Rust library with a single Rust function that returns the string "Hello world!". It also adds wrapper code so this Rust function can be called from R with hello_world().

Usage

use_extendr(
  path = ".",
  crate_name = NULL,
  lib_name = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE,
  edition = c("2021", "2018")
)

Arguments

path	File path to the package for which to generate wrapper code.
crate_name	String that is used as the name of the Rust crate. If NULL, sanitized R package name is used instead.
lib_name	String that is used as the name of the Rust library. If NULL, sanitized R package name is used instead.
quiet	Logical indicating whether any progress messages should be generated or not.
edition	String indicating which Rust edition is used; Default "2021".

Details

To avoid possibly messing up your R package, use_extendr() will not do anything if either a directory src or a file R/extendr-wrappers.R is already present in your package source.

Value

A logical value (invisible) indicating whether any package files were generated or not.
