Update stanflow packages — stanflow

Checks for outdated Stan workflow packages and installs updates. This function requires an interactive R session for installation unless dry_run = TRUE. Dry runs check repositories and preview installs without prompting or installing packages. Adapted from tidyverse::tidyverse_update().

Usage

stanflow_update(recursive = FALSE, dev = FALSE, dry_run = FALSE)

Arguments

recursive: If TRUE, will also list dependencies of dependencies. When check_updates = TRUE, the recursive traversal follows only "strong" dependencies (Depends/Imports/LinkingTo), so Suggests are not expanded recursively.
dev: If FALSE (default), checks for updates in the R-multiverse or CRAN (stable releases). If TRUE, checks the Stan R-universe (dev versions). This is only cogent for Stan packages, and cannot compare two dev versions.
dry_run: Logical. If TRUE, previews update steps without installing packages or prompting.

Value

Invisibly returns a data frame of outdated packages (same columns as stanflow_deps). Returns NULL invisibly when no updates are needed.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Update direct dependencies only
stanflow_update()

# Update full dependency tree (including suggests)
stanflow_update(recursive = TRUE)
} # }
