getSessionVariable: Get a variable from a client session environment

In jrc: Exchange Commands Between R and 'JavaScript'

Get a variable from a client session environment

Description

This function returns a variable, how it is seen from a session, e.g. for all the received function calls and commands. It searches for the variable in the session environment first, and then, if variable is not found, checks enclosing frames of the environment, starting from the outer environment of the app (see setEnvironment). If the variable doesn't exist, throws an error.

Usage

getSessionVariable(varName, sessionId = NULL)

Arguments

varName	Name of the variable to search for. Must be a character.
sessionId	ID of the session. If there is only one active session, this argument becomes optional.

Details

This function is a wrapper around method sessionVariables of the class Session.

Value

Requested variable
