Make an R package from a data object
This generic creates a valid R package from an R data object.
makeDataPackage(object, author, email,
packageName=deparse(substitute(object)),
packageVersion=package_version("1.0.0"),
license="Artistic-2.0",
biocViews="ExperimentData",
filePath=tempdir(),
...)object |
An instance of an R data object. |
author |
The author, as a character string. |
email |
A valid email address for the maintainer, as a character string. |
packageName |
The name of the package, defaults to the name of the object instance. |
packageVersion |
The version number, as a character string. |
license |
The license, as a character string. |
biocViews |
A character vector of valid biocViews views. |
filePath |
The location to create the package. |
... |
Additional arguments to specific methods. |
The function makes use of various tools in R and Bioconductor to automatically generate the source files for a valid R package.
The return value is that from a call to link{createPackage} which
is invoked once the default arguments are set up. The data instance
is stored in the data directory with a name the same as that of the
resulting package.
Developers implementing derived methods might force correct
package name evaluation by including 'packageName' in any
callNextMethod().
