You can create an environment variable and use it within your export function. For example:
env <- .GlobalEnv ## better here to create a new one :new.env()
exportx <- function(x)
{
x <- x+1
env$y <- x
}
exportx(3)
y
[1] 4
For example , If you want to define a global options(emulate the classic R options) in your package ,
my.options <- new.env()
setOption1 <- function(value) my.options$Option1 <- value
EDIT after OP clarification:
You can use evalq
which take 2 arguments :
envir the environment in which expr is to be evaluated
enclos where R looks for objects not found in envir.
Here an example:
env.script1 <- new.env()
env.script2 <- new.env()
evalq({
x <- 2
p <- 3
z <- 5
} ,envir = env.script1,enclos=.GlobalEnv)
evalq({
h <- x +2
} ,envir = env.script2,enclos=myenv.script1)`
You can see that all variable are created within the environnment ( like local
)
env.script2$h
[1] 4
env.script1$p
[1] 3
> env.script1$x
[1] 2
