Check if code is being run directly or from within a function

This function determines whether code is being executed directly in the global environment or from within a function call. It's particularly useful for development and debugging purposes, allowing functions to behave differently when run directly versus when called as part of a larger analysis plan.

is_run_directly()

Value

A logical value: TRUE if the code is being run directly (i.e., from the global environment), FALSE if it's being run from within a function call

Examples

# When run directly
is_run_directly()  # TRUE
#> [1] FALSE

# When run from within a function
test_fn <- function() {
  is_run_directly()  # FALSE
}
test_fn()
#> [1] FALSE
