R6 class for package downloads

Download packages with their dependencies, from various sources.

Usage

new_pkg_download_proposal(refs, ...)

Arguments

refs: Package names or references. See 'Package references' for the syntax.
...: Additional arguments, passed to pkg_download_proposal$new().

Value

new_pkg_download_proposal() returns a new pkg_download_proposal object.

Details

new_pkg_download_proposal() creates a new object from the pkg_download_proposal class, that can be used to look up and download R packages and their dependencies. The advantage of new_pkg_download_proposal() compared to using the pkg_download_proposal constructor directly is that it avoids making pkgdepends a build time dependency.

Typical workflow to download a set of packages:

Create a pkg_download_proposal object with new_pkg_download_proposal().
Resolve all possible dependencies with pkg_download_proposal$resolve().
Download all files with pkg_download_proposal$download().
Get the data about the packages and downloads with pkg_download_proposal$get_downloads().

Methods

Public methods

pkg_download_proposal$new()
pkg_download_proposal$get_refs()
pkg_download_proposal$get_config()
pkg_download_proposal$resolve()
pkg_download_proposal$async_resolve()
pkg_download_proposal$get_resolution()
pkg_download_proposal$download()
pkg_download_proposal$async_download()
pkg_download_proposal$get_downloads()
pkg_download_proposal$stop_for_download_error()
pkg_download_proposal$format()
pkg_download_proposal$print()
pkg_download_proposal$clone()

Method `new()`

Create a new pkg_download_proposal object. Consider using new_pkg_download_proposal() instead of calling the constructor directly.

The returned object can be used to look up (recursive) dependencies of R packages from various sources, and then to download the package files.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$new(refs, config = list(), remote_types = NULL)

Arguments

refs

Package names or references. See 'Package references' for the syntax.

config

Configuration options, a named list. See 'Configuration'.

remote_types

Custom remote ref types, this is for advanced use, and experimental currently.

Examples

pdl <- pkg_download_proposal$new("r-lib/pkgdepends")
pdl

Method `get_refs()`

The package refs that were used to create the pkg_download_proposal object.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$get_refs()

Returns

A character vector of package refs that were used to create the pkg_download_proposal object.

Method `get_config()`

Configuration options for the pkg_download_proposal object. See 'Configuration' for details.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$get_config()

Returns

Named list. See 'Configuration' for the configuration options.

Method `resolve()`

Resolve the dependencies of the specified package references. This usually means downloading metadata from CRAN and Bioconductor, unless already cached, and also from GitHub if GitHub refs were included, either directly or indirectly. See 'Dependency resolution' for details.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$resolve()

Returns

The pkg_download_proposal object itself, invisibly.

Method `async_resolve()`

The same as resolve(), but asynchronous. This method is for advanced use.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$async_resolve()

Returns

A deferred value.

Method `get_resolution()`

Query the result of the dependency resolution. This method can be called after resolve() has completed.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$get_resolution()

Returns

A pkg_resolution_result object, which is also a data frame. See 'Dependency resolution' for its columns.

Method `download()`

Download all resolved packages. It uses the package cache in the pkgcache package by default, to avoid downloads if possible.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$download()

Returns

The pkg_download_proposal object, invisibly.

Method `async_download()`

The same as download(), but asynchronous. This method is for advanced use.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$async_download()

Returns

A deferred value.

Method `get_downloads()`

Returns the summary of the package downloads.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$get_downloads()

Returns

A pkg_download_result object, which is a list. See pkg_download_result for details.

Method `stop_for_download_error()`

Throw and error if the some of the downloads have failed for the most recent pkg_download_proposal$download() call.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$stop_for_download_error()

Method `format()`

Format a pkg_download_proposal object, typically for printing.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$format(...)

Arguments

...: not used currently.

Returns

Nothing. A character vector, each element should be a line in the printout.

Method `print()`

Prints a pkg_download_proposal object to the screen. The printout includes:

The package refs.
Whether the object has the resolved dependencies.
Whether the resolution had errors.
Whether the downloads were completed.
Whether the downloads had errors.
Advice on which methods to call next.

See the example below.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$print(...)

Arguments

...: not used currently.

Returns

The pkg_download_proposal object itself, invisibly.

Method `clone()`

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

pkg_download_proposal$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep: Whether to make a deep clone.
