Source: R/repo.R
add_pkg.Rd

Downloads and builds the R package references given by packages, compiling each package for use with WebAssembly and webR. The resulting WebAssembly binary packages are added to the repository directory repo_dir. The repository directory will be created if it does not already exist.

Usage

add_pkg(packages, repo_dir = "./repo", remotes = NA, dependencies = FALSE)

Arguments

packages

A character vector of one or more package references.

repo_dir

The package repository directory. Defaults to "./repo".

remotes

A character vector of package references to prefer as a remote source. Defaults to NA, meaning prefer a built-in list of references to packages pre-modified for use with webR.

dependencies

Dependency specification for packages to additionally add to the repository. Defaults to FALSE, meaning no additional packages. Use NA to install only hard dependencies whereas TRUE installs all optional dependencies as well. See pkgdepends::as_pkg_dependencies for details.
