View source: R/create_dir.R

This function checks whether a directory in a given path exists and creates it - including any missing directories in the path - if that is not the case.

1	create_dir(dir, fullPath = F)

`dir`	A character string defining the path to the directory that should be created
`fullPath`	A boolean flag indicating whether the directory string provided is a full path or not. If `FALSE`, `dir` is created in the user's home directory as defined by `Sys.getenv("HOME")`.

This function is generally useful in the setup process of any (part of a) project where the existence of a specific directory is dependent on the first execution of a related part of your code base.

create_dir('my/export/directory')

create_dir('~/my/export/directory', TRUE)

# using the get_file_path() function in jaytools
create_dir(get_file_path('my/export/directory'), TRUE)
