R: Copy an HTML dependency to a directory

copyDependencyToDir {htmltools}

R Documentation

Copy an HTML dependency to a directory

Description

Copies an HTML dependency to a subdirectory of the given directory. The subdirectory name will be name-version (for example, "outputDir/jquery-1.11.0").

Usage

copyDependencyToDir(dependency, outputDir, mustWork = TRUE)

Arguments

`dependency`	A single HTML dependency object.
`outputDir`	The directory in which a subdirectory should be created for this dependency.
`mustWork`	If `TRUE` and `dependency` does not point to a directory on disk (but rather a URL location), an error is raised. If `FALSE` then non-disk dependencies are returned without modification.

Details

In order for disk-based dependencies to work with static HTML files, it's generally necessary to copy them to either the directory of the referencing HTML file, or to a subdirectory of that directory. This function makes it easier to perform that copy.

If a subdirectory named name-version already exists in outputDir, then copying is not performed; the existing contents are assumed to be up-to-date.
