ensureOptionContainer-ANY-missing-method: Ensure Option Container (any-miss)

In rappster/optionr: Management of customized (and nested) project/package options

Description

See generic: ensureOptionContainer

Usage

  ## S4 method for signature 'ANY,missing'
ensureOptionContainer(id = tryCatch(devtools::as.package(".")$package,
  error = function(cond) {     stop("Invalid default value for `id`") }),
  container = new.env(), sub_id = character(), check = TRUE,
  hidden = TRUE, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

id	ANY.
container	missing.
sub_id	character. Optional ID for a sub layer. Useful for a hub-like option container structure.
check	logical. TRUE: check if an R option with name/ID according to the information in id already exists (in which case an error is thrown); FALSE: no check for existing R options. Note that overwrite will overrule check.
hidden	logical. TRUE: make sure name/ID information in id is preprended with a dot to hide it; FALSE: use name/ID information in id as is. The former reduces the risk of accidentially overwriting existing R options and thus is used by default.
overwrite	logical. TRUE: overwrite existing container; FALSE: keep existing container.
...	Further arguments to be passed to subsequent functions/methods.

Value

See method ensureOptionContainer-char-env-method.

## Not run:

## Default ID //
##------------------------------------------------------------------------------

options(".optionr" = NULL)
res <- ensureOptionContainer()
".optionr" %in% names(options())
ensureOptionContainer(overwrite = TRUE)
identical(getOption(".optionr"), res)
## --> identical environment object is reused --> ensures pass-by-references
## keeps working even when `overwrite = TRUE`

## Clean up //
options(".optionr" = NULL)

##------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Explicit ID //
##------------------------------------------------------------------------------

res <- ensureOptionContainer(id = "abcd")

ensureOptionContainer(id = "abcd", overwrite = TRUE)
identical(getOption(".abcd"), res)
## --> identical environment object is reused --> ensures pass-by-references

##------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Sub ID //

## Not hidden //
##------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Clean up //

##------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Check for existing options of same name/ID //
##------------------------------------------------------------------------------

options(".optionr" = NULL)

## Clean up //

## Clean up //
