Make an R package from a data object

Description

This generic creates a valid R package from an R data object.

Usage

makeDataPackage(object, author, email,
                packageName=deparse(substitute(object)),
                packageVersion=package_version("1.0.0"),
                license="Artistic-2.0",
                biocViews="ExperimentData",
                filePath=tempdir(),
                ...)

Arguments

object	An instance of an R data object.
author	The author, as a character string.
email	A valid email address for the maintainer, as a character string.
packageName	The name of the package, defaults to the name of the object instance.
packageVersion	The version number, as a character string.
license	The license, as a character string.
biocViews	A character vector of valid biocViews views.
filePath	The location to create the package.
...	Additional arguments to specific methods.

Details

The function makes use of various tools in R and Bioconductor to automatically generate the source files for a valid R package.

Value

The return value is that from a call to link{createPackage} which is invoked once the default arguments are set up. The data instance is stored in the data directory with a name the same as that of the resulting package.

Note

Developers implementing derived methods might force correct package name evaluation by including 'packageName' in any callNextMethod().
