equivalent to source() inside a package
Hi all: I'm working on a project that I have packaged for ease of distribution. The different simulations in the package share code, so obviously I have those parts organized as functions. Now, I want to show people my code, but the structure with the internal functions might be a little confusing to follow. One thing I tried was to have the code of the functions as their own R files in the R/ folder, and then using source() instead of calling the functions (with consistent variable names and such) but this didn't work. The goal is for the user to be able to see the entirety of the code in the interactive R session, i.e. with a standard package implementation:
library(wei.simulations) sim1
function (seed=5555)
{
[stuff]
a = internal_function1(data)
[stuff]
}
I would like the user to see:
sim1
function (seed=5555)
{
[stuff]
tmp = apply(data,1,mean)
a = sum(tmp) #or whatever, this is just an example
[stuff]
}
where I can change those two lines in their own file, and have the
changes apply for all the simulation functions. I know this seems like
a weird question to ask, but it would be useful for me to make it as
foolproof as possible for the user to see all the simulation code (I'm
presuming the user is a casual R user and not familiar with looking
through package sources).
Thanks
