ddimport

A simple R utility for importing data from the disk into your R project folder.

Overview

This utility provides a function import_data_from_disk() that allows you to easily import data files from any location on the disk into your R project folder (or anywhere else really!). It ensures that your data is always up-to-date for seamless integration.

Features

• An easy way to keep your data files up-to-date without the hassle of copy-pasting them manually
• Simple to integrate
• Keeps your data files organized on your disk

Installation

1. Make sure you have R installed. You can download R from the official website: https://www.r-project.org/

2. Install the devtools package:

   install.packages("devtools")

3. Install the ddimport package:

   devtools::install_github("adriengivry/ddimport")

Usage

1. In your R script or interactive session, load the ddimport package:

   library(ddimport)

2. Call the import_data_from_disk() function, providing the file path of the data file you want to import:

   import_data_from_disk("/path/to/data/fruits.csv")

The function will automatically copy the data file from the specified location to your R project folder (or update your data if it already exists within your R project).

By default, the imported file will be placed directly at the root of your R project. You can also specify a custom destination path by providing a value for the data_target_path parameter when calling import_data_from_disk().

Example:

# Import the ddimport package
library(ddimport)

# Import a data file (fruits.csv) to the "data" folder inside of your R project
import_data_from_disk("/path/to/data/fruits.csv", "data/fruits.csv")
