Sets a global variable specifying the default cache directory for simpleCache calls.

Sets a global variable specifying the default cache directory for simpleCache calls.

setCacheDir(cacheDir = NULL)

Arguments

cacheDir	Directory where caches should be stored

Examples

# choose location to store caches
cacheDir = tempdir()
cacheDir
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo"
setCacheDir(cacheDir)

# build some caches
simpleCache("normSample", { rnorm(5e3, 0,1) }, recreate=TRUE, timer=TRUE)
#> ::Creating cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample.RData
#> <00h 00m 0.0s>
simpleCache("normSample", { rnorm(5e3, 0,1) })
#> ::Loading cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample.RData
simpleCache("normSample", { rnorm(5e3, 0,1) }, reload=TRUE)
#> ::Loading cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample.RData

# storing a cache after-the-fact
normSample2 = rnorm(10, 0, 1)
storeCache("normSample2")
#> ::Object does not exist::	normSample2
#> NULL

# what's available?
listCaches()
#> [1] "normSample.RData"

# load a cache
simpleCache("normSample")
#> ::Loading cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample.RData

# load multiples caches
loadCaches(c("normSample", "normSample2"), reload=TRUE)
#> ::Loading cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample.RData
#> ::Creating cache::	/tmp/RtmpnwNyJo/normSample2.RData
#> Error in doTryCatch(return(expr), name, parentenv, handler): ::Error:: If you do not provide an instruction argument, you must setglobal option RBUILD.DIR with setCacheBuildDir, or specify a buildDirparameter directly to simpleCache().
