# Using nflreadr in packages

## Re-exporting nflreadr functions

You can re-export `nflreadr` functions in your package by using the following roxygen template:

    #' @inherit nflreadr::load_nextgen_stats
    #' @export
    # Need to add own examples if the function name is different
    #' @examples
    #' load_ng_stats(2020)
    load_ng_stats <- nflreadr::load_nextgen_stats

## Using progressr with from_url functions

The `from_url` family of functions can be adapted with the `progressively()` function decorator to signal progress. Here’s an example, adapted from the `load_rosters()` source code:

    load_rosters <- function(seasons = 1999:2020){

      # Create a progressor function inside your function that knows how many "steps" there will be
      p <- progressr::progressor(steps = length(seasons))

      # Form the URLs to pass into rds_from_url
      urls <- paste0(
        "https://github.com/nflverse/nflfastR-roster/raw/master/data/seasons/roster_",
        seasons, ".rds")

      # Use `progressively()` to wrap the existing function rds_from_url and
      # call the `p()` progressor function as a signal immediately after each iteration

      out <- purrr::map_dfr(urls, progressively(rds_from_url,p))

      return(out)
    }

This will cause p() to execute once for each rds_from_url call, effectively “signalling” progress.

In order to receive progress updates, the user must wrap the function (load_rosters, in this case) with `progressr::with_progress()` as shown here:

    progressr::with_progress(load_rosters(2010:2020))
