hoardr

hoard - manage cached files

Exposes a single R6 object so that when the package is imported in another package for managing cached files, you don’t need to pollute the NAMESPACE with a bunch of functions. (you can always just hoardr::fxn, but with a single object there are other benefits as well [maintaining state, e.g.]).
