using

Add version constraints and remote git repositories to library() calls. In interactive mode the user is prompted to install.

Installation

remotes::install_github("anthonynorth/using@*release")

Usage

Using is intended for use without being attached via library(using). This helps with detecting dependency declarations for capsule or renv.

using::pkg(capsule)
using::pkg(dplyr, min_version = "0.8.0")
using::pkg(h3jsr, min_version = "1.0.0", repo = "https://github.com/obrl-soil/h3jsr")

Interactive use

In interactive sessions the user will be prompted to install a qualifying version of the package if one can be found at repo or CRAN if repo is missing.

> using::pkg("rdeck", min_version = "0.2.5", repo = "http://github.com/anthonynorth/rdeck")
A suitable version of package {"rdeck"} was not found. Would you like to install now?
