boxr v0.3.2.9999

boxr v0.3.2

Minor Improvements

  • An upstream bug fix in httr for progress bars means that some work-around can be removed
  • Some minor tweaks for the latest version of httr

boxr v0.3.1

New Features

  • box_search (and convenience functions box_search_files, box_search_folders, box_search_trash) allow use of box.com's superb searching facilities to find files and folders. Various parameters can be set to search filenames, file contents, and to limit searches to certain file types. Results are summarised by default, can be coerced via as.data.frame. They can also be passed in place of a file_id to other boxr functions (e.g. box_dl) to perform an operation on the first result.
  • box_read_excel Finally support for everyone else's favorite way to store data!
  • box_write A convenience function to convert R objects to common file types (e.g. .json, .csv, .tsv, .xlsx, etc.), and upload to box. Using the default write function (rio::export), the file type can be determined automatically from the filename provided.
  • box_add_description A simple way to add a description to a file on box.com. These are a useful way to decribe the contents of a file, and can also be used like commit messages on GitHub, to describe recent changes made.
  • box_fresh_auth A convenience function for users having trouble authenticating -- it will delete existing tokens (which are by default hidden files) for a fresh authentication process
  • S3 classes for files, folders, and object lists
  • Objects of class boxr_object_list can be passed directly to functions in place of a file_id string
  • Objects of class boxr_object_list now have an as.data.frame method

Improvements

  • Example of usage with magrittr pipes is added to the README
  • box file/folder id's are now validated locally before requests are sent
  • Filenames are now validated locally, with helpful/informative error mesages
  • box_read now accepts a user specified read function, which is now by default rio::import
  • box_read will now try and do the right thing for files without an extension by considering the MIME type of the API response
  • S3 classes and methods have been consolidated into three basic types, and functions now use them in a consistent manner. Now documented for those interested (?boxr_S3_classes)
  • Print methods: Prettier and more informative
  • box_getwd no longer logs an uninformative message
  • Documentation / collaboration improvements (improved function documentation, variable naming conventions, and a code of conduct)
  • Improved tests

Bug Fixes

  • options(boxr.progress = TRUE) is now respected consistently
  • Fix for spurious warnings comming from the latest version of httr (see jeroen/curl#30 and r-lib/httr#252)
  • Fix for weird reporting for certain valid API queries, which return exactly 0 results

boxr v0.2.9

Note: Skipped a version increment for CRAN iterations

Bug Fixes

  • Namespace stuff for the latest Rbuild under Windows

Installtion

Now up on CRAN:

install.packages("boxr")

boxr v0.2.7

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed broken link for image assets in vignette

Minor Improvements

  • The default OAuth2.0 token cache is now ~/.boxr-oauth

boxr v0.2.6

This release contains small changes to help new users get started (especially those who don't get to see the GitHub README).

Minor Improvements

  • The package vignette (vignette("boxr")) is now more oriented towards getting new users up and running (fc931cd), providing much of the same information as at ?box_auth, but with screenshots and friendlier formatting
  • Upon loading boxr, users are now provided with the GitHub issues URL for bug reports. If it looks like the user hasn't used boxr before (!file.exists("~/.boxr_oauth")), the code to generate the Getting Started vignette is presented (e18864d)
  • R help 'homepage': ?boxr now takes the user to a summary of the package, which links back to the Getting Started vignette (#31)
  • Continuous integration now covers Windows via appveyor (08925e5), and for useRs coming from GitHub, there's a few more visual aids in the README to help them evaluate/grok the package (1c574c2, 593101d, 670487b)

Installation

boxr v0.2.6 is on CRAN, the following will do the trick:
