Details

pin_get() retrieves a pin by name and, by default, from the local board. You can use the board parameter to specify which board to retrieve a pin from. If a board is not specified, it will use pin_find() to find the pin across all boards and retrieve the one that matches by name.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(pins)

# define local board
board_register_local(cache = tempfile())

# cache the mtcars dataset
pin(mtcars)

# retrieve the mtcars pin
pin_get("mtcars")

# retrieve mtcars pin from packages board
pin_get("easyalluvial/mtcars2", board = "packages")
# }
