Coerces object into an RStudio connection contract

Description

Coerces object into an RStudio connection contract

Usage

as_rscontract(x)

Arguments

x

Object that will be coerced

Value

An 'rs_contract_ide' class object

Examples

as_rscontract(sample_catalog())

Close a connection

Description

Close a connection

Usage

rscontract_close(host = "", type = "")

Arguments

host

Host name of the connection. Optional, defaults to empty

type

Type of connection. Optional, defaults to empty

Value

Returns a NULL object. If using the RStudio IDE, it will attempt to close the connection identified by the 'host' and 'type' arguments

Examples

rscontract_open(rscontract_spec())
rscontract_close("spec_host", "spec_type")

Mirrors the RStudio IDE connection contract arguments

Description

Creates an object that contains all of the necessary information to create a connection contract. This function if meant as a lower level integration with the connections pane.

Usage

rscontract_ide(
  connectionObject = NULL,
  type = "",
  host = "",
  icon = NULL,
  displayName = "",
  connectCode = "",
  disconnect = function() { },
  previewObject = function() { },
  listObjectTypes = default_types(),
  listObjects = function() { },
  listColumns = function() { },
  actions = NULL
)

Arguments

connectionObject

The connection object. Default to NULL.

type

Type of the connection.

host

Name of the host

icon

Path to the connection's icon. Defaults to NULL.

displayName

The connection's name.

connectCode

The text of the connection code.

disconnect

Function to use to disconnect. Default to function().

previewObject

Function to run when the preview table icon is clicked on. Default to function().

listObjectTypes

Function that provides the structure of the connection. The default function will work properly, it is going to be rare when it needs to be changed.

listObjects

Function to run to get the catalogs, schema, tables or views based what has been expanded on. Default to function().

listColumns

Function to run that pull the field information. Default to function().

actions

Additional buttons to add to the connection pane. Defaults to NULL.

Value

An 'rs_contract_ide' class object

Examples

str(rscontract_ide())

Opens a connection

Description

Opens a connection

Usage

rscontract_open(x)

Arguments

x

An rscontract_ide object, or an object coercible to an rscontract_ide

Value

Returns a NULL object. If using the RStudio IDE, it will attempt to open the connection, and set the identification using the 'host' and 'type' argument values

Examples

rscontract_open(rscontract_spec())
rscontract_close("spec_host", "spec_type")

A flexible API that can be converted to an RStudio Connection Contract

Description

A flexible API that can be converted to an RStudio Connection Contract

Usage

rscontract_spec(
  connection_object = NULL,
  type = "spec_type",
  host = "spec_host",
  icon = NULL,
  name = "",
  connect_script = "library(connections)\n[Place your code here]",
  disconnect_code = "function() rscontract_close('spec_host', 'spec_type')",
  preview_code = "function(){}",
  catalog_list = "sample_catalog()",
  object_types = "default_types()",
  object_list = NULL,
  object_columns = NULL,
  actions = NULL
)

Arguments

connection_object

The connection object. Default to NULL.

type

Type of the connection.

host

Name of the host

icon

Path to the connection's icon. Defaults to NULL.

name

The connection's name.

connect_script

The text of the connection code.

disconnect_code

Function to use to disconnect. Default to function().

preview_code

Function to run when the preview table icon is clicked on. Default to function().

catalog_list

Hierarchical list of the catalogs, schema, table/view and fields.

object_types

Function that provides the structure of the connection. The default function will work properly, it is going to be rare when it needs to be changed.

object_list

Function to run to get the catalogs, schema, tables or views based what has been expanded on. Defaults to NULL.

object_columns

Function to run that pull the field information. Default to NULL

actions

Additional buttons to add to the connection pane. Defaults to NULL.

Value

Returns an 'rscontract_spec' class object

Examples

str(rscontract_spec())

Refreshes a connection

Description

Refreshes a connection

Usage

rscontract_update(host = "", type = "", hint = "")

Arguments

host

Connection's Host name

type

The connection's type

hint

Optional argument passed to the Contract

Value

Returns a NULL object. If using the RStudio IDE, it will attempt to refresh the connection identified by the 'host' and 'type' arguments

Examples

con <- rscontract_open(rscontract_spec())
rscontract_update(con)
rscontract_close(con)

A example of how a connection hierarchy structure

Description

A example of how a connection hierarchy structure

Usage

sample_catalog()

Value

A 'list' object containing all of the needed information to open a very simple connection contract

Examples

str(sample_catalog())
