Track a Set of Packages Over Time — get_packages_counts_over

Given a set of packages, this function counts how many of them were present in Bioconductor over time.

Usage

get_packages_counts_over_time(packages, pkg_list, pkg_years)

Arguments

packages: Character vector of package names.
pkg_list: Value of a call to get_all_biocpkglist().
pkg_years: Value of a call to getPkgYearsInBioc().

Value

A tibble of two columns: date and count. date is a sequence of dates spaced by six months from 2006 to the current year. count is the number of packages in Bioconductor on that date.

Examples

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(BiocPkgTools))

bioc_pkg_list <- get_all_biocpkglist(verbose = FALSE)
bioc_years <- BiocPkgTools::getPkgYearsInBioc()
#> Checking for Bioc Release Update

get_packages_counts_over_time(
  packages = bioc_pkg_list$Package,
  pkg_list = bioc_pkg_list,
  pkg_years = bioc_years
)
