pkgtrap
(GL|NPM|Docs)
is a small Node.js CLI application to make it easier to sync WebR WASM R
packages to a local filesystem for CLI or web apps.
See the WebR CLI Book for details.
It is intended to be run as a CLI and is on NPM, so you can install it via:
$ npm install -g pkgtrapYou can also install the latest development version from GitLab:
$ npm install -g git+https://gitlab.com/hrbrmstr/pkgtrappkgtrap --helpUsage: pkgtrap [options] [packages...]
Makes a local copy of a list of WebR WASM packages and their dependencies.
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-o, --output-dir <dir> path to output directory where WebR WASM packages
will be installed (will be created if it does not
exist) (default: "./pkgs")
-h, --help display help for command
pkgtrap defaults to using a local-to-current-working-directory
./pkgs directory but you can specify an alternate one via -o or
--output-dir.
Here’s an example run that loads up {fs} and {glue}
