module_paste: Prepend library name to module names

In BioCro: Modular Crop Growth Simulations

Prepend library name to module names

Description

Prepends a library name to a set of module names to create a suitably-formatted set of fully-qualified module names that can be passed to run_biocro or other BioCro functions.

Usage

  module_paste(lib_name, local_module_names)

Arguments

lib_name	A string specifying a module library name.
local_module_names	A vector or list of module name strings.

Details

module_paste is a convenience function for specifying multiple modules from the same library; it prepends the library name to each module name, preserving the names and class of local_module_names.

Note that a simple call to paste0(lib_name, ':', local_module_names) will produce a similar output with two important differences: (1) paste0 will not preserve names if local_module_names has any named elements and (2) paste0 will always return a character vector, even if local_module_names is a list.

Value

A vector or list of fully-qualified module name strings formatted like lib_name:local_module_name.

Examples

# Example: Specifying several modules from the `BioCro` module library.
modules <- module_paste(
  'BioCro',
  list('total_biomass', canopy_photosynthesis = 'c3_canopy')
)

# Compare to the output from `paste0`
modules2 <- paste0(
  'BioCro',
  ':',
  list('total_biomass', canopy_photosynthesis = 'c3_canopy')
)

str(modules)
str(modules2)
