boxr has a few very simple S3 classes for the data returned by the API.
While httr() returns objects in it's own system of classes,
generally boxr extracts information, and converts the JSON response to an R
list with httr::content() (perhaps with some information judged
to be extraneous removed). If you'd rather get to the list itself, you can
do this with unclass(x).
The following classes are used:
boxr_file_reference -
Returned by box_ul(), and similar functions (e.g.
box_save()). A description of a file remotely hosted on
box.com. Available methods: print.
boxr_folder_reference -
As above, but for folders/directories. Available methods: print
boxr_object_list -
Returned by box_search(), and related functions. A list,
with each entry being a reference to a file or folder hosted on box.com
. Available methods: print, for a summary of the first few
results, and as.data.frame, to coerce some of the API response's
information to a data.frame().
boxr_dir_comparison -
Returned by the internal function box_dir_diff(). Available
methods: print, summary.
boxr_dir_wide_operation_result -
Returned by box_fetch() and box_push().
Available methods: print, summary
