In macmillancontentscience/dlr: Download and Cache Files Safely

Set a Cache Directory for an App

Description

Override the default paths used by app_cache_dir().

Usage

set_app_cache_dir(appname, cache_dir = NULL)

Arguments

appname	Character; the name of the application that will "own" the cache, such as the name of a package.
cache_dir	Character scalar; a path to a cache directory.

Value

A normalized path to a cache directory. The directory is created if the user has write access and the directory does not exist. An option is also set so future calls to app_cache_dir() will respect the change.

Examples

# Executing this function creates a cache directory.
set_app_cache_dir(appname = "dlr", cache_dir = "/my/cache/path")
