Load an object from an .Rdat file

Create a file path from dir and file using file.path() and load the object into the local environment while returning it. get_local() assumes that there is only one object in the .Rdat file. The utility of this function comes from being able to quickly load an R object that was saved as an .Rdat into a function argument without having to save it in your work space.

get_local(file, dir = file.path(hakedata_wd(), "extractedData"))

Arguments

file

A file path for either an existing file or a file that will be written to the disk by the given function. Paths can be either full or relative.

dir

The path to a directory.
