In sass: Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets ('Sass')

Return the cache directory for the current context.

Description

Return the cache directory for the current context.

Usage

sass_cache_context_dir()

Details

In most cases, this function returns the user's cache directory, by calling tools::R_user_dir("sass", which = "cache") (for R 4.0 and above) or rappdirs::user_cache_dir("R-sass") (for older versions of R).

If this function is called from a Shiny application, it will also look for a subdirectory named ⁠app_cache/⁠. If it exists, it will use a directory named ⁠app_cache/sass/⁠ to store the cache.

When running a Shiny application in a typical R session, it will not create the ⁠app_cache/⁠ subdirectory, but it will use it if present. This scopes the cache to the application.

With Shiny applications hosted on Shiny Server and Connect, it will create a ⁠app_cache/sass/⁠ subdirectory, so that the cache is scoped to the application and will not interfere with another application's cache.
