Get the active cache directory path

Source: R/gutenberg_cache.R
gutenberg_cache_dir.Rd

Calculates the path to the directory where Gutenberg files are stored, based on the current gutenbergr_cache_type and gutenbergr_base_cache_dir options.

Usage

gutenberg_cache_dir()

Value

A character string representing the path to the cache directory.

Cache options

The following options control caching behavior:

  • gutenbergr_cache_type: Character string indicating how downloaded works are cached. Must be either "session" (default) or "persistent".

  • gutenbergr_base_cache_dir: Base directory used for persistent caching when gutenbergr_cache_type = "persistent".

    By default, this is an OS-specific cache directory determined by tools::R_user_dir("gutenbergr", "cache"). Advanced users may set this to a custom path.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
# Get current cache directory
gutenberg_cache_dir()
}
