R: Copy an HTML dependency to a directory

copyDependencyToDir {htmltools} | R Documentation

## Copy an HTML dependency to a directory

### Description

Copies an HTML dependency to a subdirectory of the given directory. The subdirectory name will be name-version (for example, "outputDir/jquery-1.11.0"). You may set `options(htmltools.dir.version = FALSE)` to suppress the version number in the subdirectory name.

### Usage

    copyDependencyToDir(dependency, outputDir, mustWork = TRUE)

### Arguments

`dependency` | A single HTML dependency object.
`outputDir` | The directory in which a subdirectory should be created for this dependency.
`mustWork` | If `TRUE` and `dependency` does not point to a directory on disk (but rather a URL location), an error is raised. If `FALSE` then non-disk dependencies are returned without modification.

### Details

In order for disk-based dependencies to work with static HTML files, it's generally necessary to copy them to either the directory of the referencing HTML file, or to a subdirectory of that directory. This function makes it easier to perform that copy.

### Value

The dependency with its `src` value updated to the new location's absolute path.

### See Also

`makeDependencyRelative` can be used with the returned value to make the path relative to a specific directory.
