Convenience function to easily run multiple workflows

Source: R/RunWorkflows.R
RunWorkflows.Rd

[Stable]

This function takes a list of workflows and a list of data as input. It runs each workflow and returns the results as a named list where the names of the list correspond to the workflow ID ($meta$ID).

Workflows are run in the order they are provided in the lWorkflows. The results from each workflow are passed as inputs (along with lData) for later workflows.

Usage

RunWorkflows(
  lWorkflows,
  lData = NULL,
  lConfig = NULL,
  bKeepInputData = FALSE,
  bReturnResult = TRUE,
  strResultNames = c("Type", "ID")
)

Arguments

lWorkflows

list A named list of metadata defining how the workflow should be run.

lData

list A named list of domain-level data frames.

lConfig

list A configuration object with two methods:

  • LoadData: A function that loads data specified in lWorkflow$spec.

  • SaveData: A function that saves data returned by the last step in lWorkflow$steps.

bKeepInputData

boolean should the input data be included in lData after the workflow is run? Only relevant when bReturnResult is FALSE. Default is TRUE.

bReturnResult

boolean should only the result from the last step (lResults) be returned? If false, the full workflow (including lResults) is returned. Default is TRUE.

strResultNames

string vector of length two, which describes the meta fields used to name the output.

Value

A named list of results from RunWorkflow(), where the names correspond to the names of the workflow ID
