[R-pkg-devel] ORCID ID finder via tools::CRAN_package_db() ?

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Dirk,

Maybe checklist:::author2df() might be useful. It is an unexported function
from my checklist package. It converts a person() object to a dataframe.
https://github.com/inbo/checklist/blob/5649985b58693acb88337873ae14a7d5bc018d96/R/store_authors.R#L38

df <- tools::CRAN_package_db()
lapply(
  df$`Authors using R`[df$Package  %in% c("git2rdata", "qrcode")],
  function(x) {
    parse(text = x) |>
      eval() |>
      vapply(checklist:::author2df, vector(mode = "list", 1)) |>
      do.call(what = rbind)
  }
)
