@jonocarroll@fosstodon.org @teunbrand@fosstodon.org Now that I have created the package I've discovered about pacman because someone told me about it on twitter. Anyways, one thing I have different is the function for bioconductor, which should be helpful to my bio folks!

@teunbrand@fosstodon.org rlang::check_installed() is interactive, which means you need to allow it to install the package, while loadinstall::dynamic_require() will install it right away (it may ask whether you want to update a/s/n packages though).

Furthermore, {loadinstall} has two other functions to load/install packages from github or bioconductor :)

Feedbacks are welcome! 3/3

Three simple functions:

• CRAN: dynamic_require()
• Github: github_dynamic_require()
• Bioconductor: bioc_dynamic_require()

Check the README on github to understand better how it works, it's quite simple.

Tired of adding a chunk of code to check whether a package is installed or not in your env before loading?

I have created a package to do this!

{loadinstall} will load the R package if it is installed, and install + load if it is not.
