Set folder for storing the database

Source: R/cas_database.R
cas_set_db_folder.Rd

Consider using a folder out of your current project directory, e.g. cas_set_db_folder("~/R/cas_data/"): you will be able to use the same database in different projects, and prevent database files from being sync-ed if you use services such as Nextcloud or Dropbox.

cas_set_db_folder(path = NULL, ...)

cas_get_db_folder(path = NULL, ...)

Arguments

path

A path to a location used for storing the database. If the folder does not exist, it will be created.

The path to the database folder, if previously set; the same path as given to the function; or the default, cas_data is none is given.
