Broader validation that users are correctly authenticated (47b16b5)
Minor improvements to S3 classes (9a64aa0)
More prominent troubleshooting section in README (8ccdaa5)
Updated author email address (a23acc0)
box_previous_versions
unreliable (693f5a2)This release contains some minor changes for compatibility with httr v1.1.0
(boxr’s major dependency).
Some code to work around bugs in the previous versions of httr
has been removed
Some minor tweaks for compatibility (mainly changes in reporting http status codes)
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 describe 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
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 messages
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 (R/README.md
), and a code of conduct)
Improved tests
options(boxr.progress = TRUE)
is now respected consistently
Fix for spurious warnings coming from the latest version of httr
(see jeroenooms/curl#30 and hadley/httr#252)
Fix for weird reporting for certain valid API queries, which return exactly 0 results
Note: Skipped a version increment for CRAN iterations
Now up on CRAN:
r install.packages("boxr")
~/.boxr-oauth
This release contains small changes to help new users get started (especially those who don’t get to see the GitHub README).
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)
boxr v0.2.6 is on CRAN, the following will do the trick:
r install.packages("boxr")
LO!
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/boxr/
json is now parsed consistently by box_read()
and box_read_json()
box_getwd()
and box_setwd()
now write to the correct options vars (e.g., work properly again) (#27)
General CRAN policy stuff
Improved tests (f6cc01c, 55d6581)
Several new wrapper functions for box_read
have been added (#25):
box_read_csv
box_read_tsv
box_read_json
box_previous_versions
allows you to query previous versions of a file
box_dl
can now download specific versions of a file, via either the version_no
or version_id
parameter (#21)
Much more thorough documentation (#1, #3, #16)
box_dir_diff now has it’s own S3 class (#16)
