VarBundle

[](https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/VarBundle/index.html) [](https://cran.r-project.org/package=VarBundle)

VarBundle supports defensive programming by making it easy for R developers to bundle conceptually related read-only variables in a named, list-like object of immutable constants.

Installation

# Install the released version from CRAN:
install.packages("VarBundle")

# Install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("loudermilk/VarBundle")

Usage

VarBundle fields can be accessed like lists.

library(VarBundle)
thresholds <- varbundle(list(min = 1, max = 100))

# Read-only Access
thresholds$max #100
#> [1] 100
thresholds[["min"]] #1
#> [1] 1

But fields are read-only and new fields cannot be added after object creation.

# Assignment throws error
thresholds$min <- 25 # VarBundle fields are read only.

# Cannot create new fields after object creation
thesholds$foo <- 10 # Cannot add new fields to VarBundle

The quickest way to learn about {VarBundle} is to read the vignette.
