Config List To Table — yaml_to

Turn a config list into a data.frame.

Usage

yaml_to_dm(config, ..., item = get_context())

Arguments

config: the config list (see details).
...: the columns to include in the output.
item: the name (id) of the item group.

Value

a data.frame

Details

The function is used as a bridge between the config list structure and the expected data.frame input argument for some functions.

It also helps to keep / select the desired columns. Pass the column names (quoted or unquoted) to .... Note that if the function is used inside a package (kitems does), then the column names should be quoted or R-CMD Check will throw a note about 'no visible binding for global variable' since the column names are not declared as symbol in the environment.

By default, config is the global project config list. item is required in this case unless it is already set in the parent frame.

In case the item level config list is provided, it should be up to the data.model's level. Make sure to explicitly set ìtem = NULL if it is set in the parent frame.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# get data.model with name and default
yaml_to_dm(config, name, default, item = "foo")
} # }
