netGenerateR6: R6 class generator

In fdieulle/sharper: R interoperability with .Net Core and .Net Framework

Description

Generate R6 classes from .Net types

Usage

netGenerateR6(typeNames, file, appendFile = FALSE, withInheritedTypes = FALSE)

Arguments

typeNames	a list of .Net type names
file	File path where generated types will be stored
appendFile	If the specified file already exists we append it.
withInheritedTypes	Defines if you want to generate all inherited types loaded in the clr from your specified types.

Details

It can be usefull to use this function to generate R6 classes mapped on .Net types before to build your package. Like that you automatize R6 classes generation and reduce your work to keep consistency between R classes and .Net types. R6 generator generate also the Roxygen2 documentation which will be include in your package to navigate easly in your R6 class graph hierarchy and dependencies. The generator supports type dependencies and type hierarchy. It can also generate R6 classes for interface, but be carefull because of R6 doesn't support yet multi heritage or interfaces implementation. All generated R6 classes inherits from NetObject class which provides helpers to interact with .Net object instances.
