Read a Plugin Definition

Plugins are defined by a named list with elements meta (containing at least a Name to show in the plugin menu), shiny (containing UI and Server fields to define the Shiny UI and Server functions for the plugin), and spec (a specification of the data domains that the plugin uses), plus optional fields packages, and required_inputs. Use plugin_Read() to read these element definitions and any R files in the same directory. and spec (a specification of the data domains that the plugin uses), plus optional fields packages, and required_inputs. Use plugin_Read() to read these element definitions and any R files in the same directory.

Usage

plugin_Read(strPath, lWorkflows = list(), ...)

Arguments

strPath

The directory that contains the plugin.

lWorkflows

list An optional named list of workflows to run in order to translate app domain data into the format required by the plugin (as defined in the plugin spec). These workflows are ran before the plugin's spec is applied, and are meant to serve as a bridge between your domain data and the plugin's expected domains.

...

Additional named arguments passed on to fnShinyUI and/or fnShinyServer by name.

Value

A list with elements meta, shiny, spec, workflows, config, required_inputs, and packages, read from the YAML file in strPath. As a side effect, any R files in strPath are also loaded using source().
