In ropensci/traits: Species Trait Data from Around the Web

Caching

Description

Manage cached traits package files with hoardr

Details

The dafault cache directory is paste0(rappdirs::user_cache_dir(), "/R/traits"), but you can set your own path using cache_path_set()

cache_delete only accepts 1 file name, while cache_delete_all doesn't accept any names, but deletes all files. For deleting many specific files, use cache_delete in a lapply() type call

Useful user functions

• traits_cache$cache_path_get() get cache path

• traits_cache$cache_path_set() set cache path

• traits_cache$list() returns a character vector of full path file names

• traits_cache$files() returns file objects with metadata

• traits_cache$details() returns files with details

• traits_cache$delete() delete specific files

• traits_cache$delete_all() delete all files, returns nothing
