Create a CSV variant of .rda files — write_pkg

The function should be run with a path to a package directory. It will then look through the data directory of the package, and for all datasets that are data frames, create CSV variants in a data-csv directory.

Usage

write_pkg_data(
  pkg,
  dir = paste0("data-", out_type),
  overwrite = FALSE,
  out_type = c("csv", "tab", "R")
)

Arguments

pkg: The R package where we'd like to generate CSVs of any data frames.
dir: A character string representing the path to the folder. where the CSV files should be written. If no such directory exists, one will be created (recursively).
overwrite: Boolean to indicate if to overwrite any existing files that have conflicting names in the directory specified.
out_type: Format for the type of output as a CSV ("csv"), tab-delimited text file ("tab"), or the R code to generate the object ("R").

Examples

if (FALSE) {
write_pkg_data("openintro")
list.files("data-csv")
}
