FunctionReporter handling of non-exported internal functions · Issue #122 · uptake/pkgnet · GitHub

FunctionReporter currently only captures the functions in a package's exported namespace. Non-exported internal-functions are left out. This seems to be the case with the old mvbutils::foodweb implementation and also with the new #120 implementation.

Why do we care about non-exported functions?

• It goes without saying that non-exported functions can be highly integrated into the structure of a package's function network. This is probably the cause of missing edges reported in Missing edges in function graphs #79.
• Many packages commonly have S3 methods that are not exported but visible to UseMethod.

An easy way to get all functions in a package, not use the exported functions:

pkg_env <- loadNamespace(pkg_name)
funs <- Filter(
    f = function(x, p = pkg_env){is.function(get(x, p))}
    , x = names(pkg_env)
)

This can be changed in the #120 implementation here.

I think when we implement this, we should also think about how to distinguish between exported and non-exported functions for the reporting and visualizations.
