box::file(...)

box::file(..., module)

Arguments

...

character vectors of files or subdirectories inside a module; if none is given, return the root directory of the module

Value

A character vector containing the absolute paths to the files specified in ....

This function is similar to system.file for packages. Its semantics differ in the presence of non-existent files: box::file always returns the requested paths, even for non-existent files; whereas system.file returns empty strings for non-existent files, or fails (if requested via the argument mustWork = TRUE).
