Overview

About

Maintained by Mauricio Vargas SepulvedaFirst published 2026-08-071 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Reuse objects with a long processing time either by storing those in disk or memory. Uses caching to identify R objects (e.g., data frames, plots, etc.) and allows repeated access to those. Created with the specific goal of skipping the waiting time for summary tables obtained from large 'SQL' tables. It is extensible to other uses, such as caching plots in 'Tabler' dashboards to reduce waiting times.
