Acquire the dependencies of the package

Source: R/get_dependencies.R

This function uses get_description and get_downloads to acquire the dependencies of the package (with their downloads).

get_dependencies(
  package,
  downloads = TRUE,
  bioc = FALSE,
  local = FALSE,
  dependency_type = c("Depends", "Imports")
)

Arguments

package

A character. Name of the package that is on CRAN, Bioconductor repository or locally installed. See bioc and local arguments.
downloads

A logical. If TRUE add package downloads data. By default it's TRUE.
bioc

A logical value. If TRUE the Bioconductor dependencies data will be taken from the Bioconductor repository. For this option to work properly, BiocManager package needs to be installed.
local

A logical value. If TRUE only data of locally installed packages will be used (without API usage).
dependency_type

A character vector. Types of the dependencies that should be sought. Possibilities are: "Imports", "Depends", "Suggests", "Enhances", "LinkingTo". By default it's "Depends", "Imports".

Value

An object of package_dependencies class.
