‘box’ allows organising R code in a more modular way, via two mechanisms: It enables writing modular code by treating files and folders of R code as independent (potentially nested) modules, without requiring the user to wrap reusable code into packages.

Use box::use (prefix/mod) to import a module, or box::use (pkg) to import a package. Fully qualified names are supported for nested modules, reminiscent of module systems in many other modern languages.

Jul 22, 2026 · box::export can be called inside a module to specify the module’s exports. If a module contains a call to box::export, this call overrides any declarations made via the @export tag comment. When a module contains multiple calls to box::export, the union of all thus defined names is exported.

This works analogously to how .libPaths operates on R packages. The box::use directive can now use bio/seq instead of ./bio/seq as the module name: rather than a relative name we specify a global name.

With {box}, you can refer R packages like list objects, then the brackets utilizes the “subset” functionality in R that extracts the exported namespaces: not through numbers and string, but through a literal name.
