问题
I'm writing a small convenience package for accessing a private API, and am using httr
functions to conduct the requests. I'm also using Roxygen to handle documentation, etc. I'm importing httr
functions as such:
#' Get a page of data from the specified endpoint.
#' @keywords internal
#' @importFrom httr GET
#'
get_data <- function(url, headers, page_number) {
# Add querystring for page
url_with_page <- paste0(url, "?page=", page_number)
message("Downloading: ", url_with_page)
# Get API response
response <- GET(url_with_page, headers)
return(response)
}
However, when you try to run the package with no pre-loaded packages, I get namespace errors:
Error in get_data(url, headers, 1) :
could not find function "GET"
I typically defer to Hadley's expertise on this sort of thing, but is this a good case for using the Depends
field as well as/rather than Imports
?
Edit: my NAMESPACE generated by Roxygen.
# Generated by roxygen2 (4.1.1): do not edit by hand
export(get_export)
export(get_exports)
export(get_metadata)
importFrom(httr,GET)
importFrom(httr,add_headers)
importFrom(httr,content)
importFrom(jsonlite,fromJSON)
importFrom(jsonlite,rbind.pages)
