The goal of isstatic is to provide a convenient set of static functions for checking object class inheritance, regex pattern matching, extracting attributes, and basic type conversion.
I’ve used and reused these functions across a number of different packages so using staticimports is also intended as a way to keep those functions standardized across projects. This package is inspired by the stringstatic package by Alex Rossell Hayes.
You can install the development version of isstatic like so:
pak::pkg_install("elipousson/isstatic")To import functions from isstatic into your package, put a comment
block starting with # @staticimports pkg:isstatic in one of your R
source files.
For example, your utils.R file may have this at the top:
# @staticimports pkg:isstatic
# is_sf is_bbox is_url
pkg:isstatic means you will import functions from the stringstatic
package. You can find many other useful functions in
pkg:staticimports.
Subsequent lines list the objects to import from the package. In this
case, they are is_sf(), is_bbox() and is_url().
To perform the import, run:
staticimports::import()By default, this will write the functions to an R/staticimports.R file
in your project.
