Installation

For using the “bioC.logs” package, first you will need to install it.

The stable version can be downloaded from the CRAN repository:

install.packages("bioC.logs")

To obtain the development version you can get it from the github repository, i.e.

# need devtools for installing from the github repo
install.packages("devtools")

# install bioC.logs
devtools::install_github("mponce0/bioC.logs")

For using the package, either the stable or developmemnt version, just load it using the library function:

# load bioC.logs
library(bioC.logs)

Examples

You will need an active internet connection, as bioC.logs will download the reports from the BioConductor website on demand.

# it is possible to download multiple packages, the data will be returned in a list with one entry per package
bioC_downloads(c("ABarray","a4Classif"))

# the 'verbose' option allow you to turn off information reported by the function
bioC_downloads("edgeR",verbose=FALSE)

# setting format="CRAN", will structure the data "a-la-CRAN"
edgeR.logs <- bioC_downloads("edgeR",format="CRAN")
# data is still returned in a list
str(edgeR.logs)
# access data from package
edgeR.logs[[1]]

# get the data in a particular range of dates using 'when'
edgeR.logs <- bioC_downloads("edgeR", when='last-year', format='bioC')

# get the data in a particular range of dates using 'to/from'
# not specifying 'from' will assume since the very first record
edgeR.logs <- bioC_downloads("edgeR", to='03-2015', format='bioC')

# not specifying 'from' will assume until the current day
edgeR.logs <- bioC_downloads("edgeR", from='03-2015', format='bioC')

edgeR.logs <- bioC_downloads("edgeR", from='03-2015',to='05-2016', format='bioC')
