Arguments

• object: An R object to save to storage.
• container: An Azure storage container object.
• file: The name of a file in storage.
• ...: Further arguments passed to saveRDS, memDecompress, save and load as appropriate.
• envir: For storage_save_rdata and storage_load_rdata, the environment from which to get objects to save, or in which to restore objects, respectively.

Details

These are equivalents to saveRDS, readRDS, save and load for saving and loading R objects to a storage account. They allow datasets and objects to be easily transferred to and from an R session, without having to manually create and delete temporary files.

## Not run:

bl <- storage_endpoint("https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/", key="access_key")
cont <- storage_container(bl, "mycontainer")

storage_save_rds(iris, cont, "iris.rds")
irisnew <- storage_load_rds(iris, "iris.rds")
identical(iris, irisnew)  # TRUE

storage_save_rdata(iris, mtcars, container=cont, file="dataframes.rdata")
storage_load_rdata(cont, "dataframes.rdata")
