Can base R function args be set in configuration?

Lachlan_Simpson · 2021-10-31T22:16:16.511Z

For example, if I wanted to never download any dependencies, in R I would

install.packages("A3", dependencies = false)

Is there something I could put into .Renviron or .Rprofile that would enforce that behaviour?

I presume it would look like this, but I can't see any documentation to indicate this would work:

install.packages.dependencies = false

Thanks
L.

I'd try this

purrr.tidyverse.org

Partial apply a function, filling in some arguments. — partial

Partial function application allows you to modify a function by pre-filling some of the arguments. It is particularly useful in conjunction with functionals and other function operators. Note that an argument can only be partialised once.

Yes. With options(na.rm = TRUE) is effective in changing the evaluation of c(1,NA,3,5) from NA to

> it
[1]  1 NA  3  5

Not recommended for anything to be shared with others.
