Appendix E — Appendix E: Package Reference

Vignettes, repos, and API documentation

Keywords

snowflake, R, RStudio, Posit, VS Code, workspace notebooks, snowflakeR, RSnowflake, mlops

Package vignettes remain the API reference of record. This guide provides narrative context; use ?function and vignettes for signatures and edge cases.

Browser-readable vignettes: Appendix H — Package vignettes (HTML) links snowflakeR inst/doc HTML on this site and RSnowflake vignettes on GitHub (new tab).
