cache_setup: Setup cache path

Description

Setup cache path

Usage

cache_setup(path_suffix = NULL, temp_dir = FALSE)
cache_info()

Arguments

path_suffix

(character) the path suffix to use for storing cached files, appended to user cache dir.

temp_dir

(logical) if TRUE use a randomly assigned tempdir (and path_suffix is ignored), if FALSE, you can use path_suffix.

Value

the full cache path, a directory (character)

Details

Looks first if the user has set a cache path suffix in an env var or R option. If not found, proceeds to use a temp directory if not in interactive mode, but if interactive, asks user to setup a default cache location that will work across sessions (but user can say no, in which case a temp directory will be used, and each package start will require cache setup again)
