Hello!
I am trying to wrap some C++ code I have that uses arrow with R to enable
users to continue working in R. Unfortunately, I get a compilation error of
`arrow does not name a type` when it gets to the return type of my function
which is
`arrow::Result<std::shared_ptr<arrow::ipc::RecordBatchStreamReader>>`. I
posted in RStudio in case this is purely a cpp11 library issue happening (
https://community.rstudio.com/t/cpp11-does-not-name-a-type/106740).
However, I am trying to get this working with arrow data types. So, I just
wanted to check with this list the following things:
- If I import the arrow library in R before trying to source C++ code
that returns an arrow data type, am I able to use the object as if I
constructed it in R?
- If I want to have an R package that I can import like the arrow
package (e.g. `library(arrow)`), what is the best way to either:
- import the arrow package from my package
- or, specify the arrow package as a dependency?
I apologize since I know that to some extent these are primarily R
questions and not arrow questions, but I am just hoping that since the
arrow R package seems complex, it makes sense to ask these questions here
as well.
Thank you very much for any help!
