onetime

Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once.

Michelle Dubois, 'Allo 'Allo

The onetime package provides convenience functions to run R code only once (ever) per user. For example, you can:

• Show a startup message only the first time (ever) that a package is loaded.
• Run cleanup code just once after an upgrade.
• Show the user a message, with the option not to show it again.

Onetime is a lightweight package. It requires just two package dependencies, rappdirs and filelock, with no further indirect dependencies. The total size including these dependencies is less than 50 Kb.

• For more information, see the vignette.

• Development documentation is at https://hughjonesd.github.io/onetime/dev/.
