# collector

draft for discussion

## Installation

Install with

```
pak::pak("cynkra/collector")
```

## Examples

`collector()` creates a new function, with an altered body but the same environment:

```{r}
library(collector)
add <- function(x, y) {
x + y
}
environment(add) <- asNamespace("stats")
add2 <- collector(add)
add2
```

It behaves the same as the original but additionally it collects :

* The arguments
* The call
* The return value

```{r}
a <- 1
b <- 2
add2(a, b)

collected("add")
```

Note the use of `delayedAssign()` because arguments are not evaluated yet
at the start of the body, this is robust to functions that use NSE.

If we know we don't use NSE, we can use `force = TRUE`

```{r}
# if we
add3 <- collector(add, force = TRUE, name = "custom_name")
add3(a, b)
collected("custom_name")
```

Or we can choose

```{r}
# if we
add4 <- collector(add, force = "x", name = "custom_name2")
add4(a, b)
collected("custom_name2")
```
