Code generation plugin module

All code necessary for reproducing a data analysis as set up in blockr can be made available to the user. Several ways of providing such a script or code snippet are conceivable and currently implemented, we have a modal with copy-to-clipboard functionality. This is readily extensible, for example by offering a download button, by providing this functionality as a generate_code module.

Usage

generate_code(server = generate_code_server, ui = generate_code_ui)

generate_code_server(id, board, visibility = NULL, ...)

generate_code_ui(id, board)

Arguments

server, ui

Server/UI for the plugin module

id

Namespace ID

board

Reactive values object

visibility

Visibility channel bundle (supplied by board_server()). On a gated board, "Show code" marks every block required, so the exported script covers the whole board and not only what is on screen; an off-screen block that is not fully configured then holds the export back rather than emitting broken code. NULL (the standalone default) leaves the board untouched.

...

Extra arguments passed from parent scope

Value

A plugin container inheriting from generate_code is returned by generate_code(), while the UI component (e.g. generate_code_ui()) is expected to return shiny UI (i.e. shiny::tagList()) and the server component (i.e. generate_code_server()) is expected to return NULL.
