Parse and extract module metadata

Description

Parse and extract module metadata

Usage

moduleMetadata(
  sim,
  module,
  path = getOption("spades.modulePath", NULL),
  defineModuleListItems = c("name", "description", "keywords", "childModules", "authors",
    "version", "spatialExtent", "timeframe", "timeunit", "citation", "documentation",
    "reqdPkgs", "parameters", "inputObjects", "outputObjects")
)

## S4 method for signature 'missing,character,character'
moduleMetadata(module, path, defineModuleListItems)

## S4 method for signature 'missing,character,missing'
moduleMetadata(module, defineModuleListItems)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,ANY,ANY'
moduleMetadata(
  sim,
  module,
  path = getOption("spades.modulePath", NULL),
  defineModuleListItems = c("name", "description", "keywords", "childModules", "authors",
    "version", "spatialExtent", "timeframe", "timeunit", "citation", "documentation",
    "reqdPkgs", "parameters", "inputObjects", "outputObjects")
)

Arguments

sim	A simList simulation object, generally produced by simInit.
module	Character string. Your module's name.
path	Character string specifying the file path to modules directory. Default is to use the spades.modulePath option.
defineModuleListItems	A vector of metadata entries to return values about.

Value

A list of module metadata, matching the structure in defineModule().

Examples

## turn off code checking -- don't need it here
opts <- options("spades.moduleCodeChecks" = FALSE,
                "spades.useRequire" = FALSE)

path <- getSampleModules(tempdir())
sampleModules <- dir(path)
x <- moduleMetadata(sampleModules[3], path = path)

## using simList
if (require("SpaDES.tools", quietly = TRUE)) {
   mySim <- simInit(
      times = list(start = 2000.0, end = 2001.0, timeunit = "year"),
      params = list(
        .globals = list(stackName = "landscape")
      ),
      modules = list("caribouMovement"),
      paths = list(modulePath = path)
   )
   moduleMetadata(sim = mySim)
}

# turn code checking back on -- don't need it here
options(opts)
