Activate and Deactivate Lib Mode

lib_mode.Rd

When activated, lib_mode() adds a new library location (aka lib.loc) to the top of the library tree. This allows you to run code in an "sandbox", without interfering with the other packages you have installed previously. See vignette("lib-mode") for more details with examples.

Usage

lib_mode(path = getOption("helpr_path"))

lib_tree()

is_lib_mode()

Arguments

path

A directory location of an R library.

Functions

  • lib_tree(): A thin wrapper around .libPaths() to quickly and easily view the current library tree of directories the session knows about.

  • is_lib_mode(): Determines whether a session is currently in "lib mode".

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  dir.create("new-lib")
  lib_mode("new-lib")  # ON; activate
  lib_mode("new-lib")  # OFF; deactivate
  lib_mode("new-lib")  # ON; re-activate
} # }
