Example of linking go code in R packages

This is an example project to demonstrate how to use go code as part of an R package's dynamically loaded libraries, using the bazel rules for R.

Using R

To install the package and run all examples, run

R CMD INSTALL R/rgo
./examples.R

Using bazel

To build the package, run

bazel build R/rgo

You can then run an R function with

R_LIBS_USER=$(pwd -P)/bazel-bin/R/rgo/lib Rscript -e 'rgo::hello()'

To install the package and run all examples, run

bazel run R/rgo:library
./examples.R
