Save a session to a rack backend

Serialises data to a temporary JSON file and uploads it to backend. This is a convenience wrapper around rack_upload() that handles JSON serialisation automatically.

rack_save(backend, data, name, id = NULL, ...)

Arguments

backend

A rack backend object (e.g. a pins_board).

data

An R object to serialise and store (typically the session list returned by the blockr session machinery).

name

Character scalar. The board name. Backends that derive a storage handle from it (e.g. pins) use it only when creating a new record (id = NULL); for an update it is ignored in favour of id.

id

A rack_id identifying an existing record to add a new version to, or NULL to create a new record (the backend mints the storage handle).

...

Additional arguments forwarded to rack_upload().

Value

A rack_id object identifying the newly created version.
