Remote "data.txt" board (legacy API)

Description

Usage

legacy_datatxt(
  url,
  headers = NULL,
  cache = NULL,
  needs_index = TRUE,
  browse_url = url,
  index_updated = NULL,
  index_randomize = FALSE,
  path = NULL,
  versions = FALSE,
  name = NULL,
  ...
)

board_register_datatxt(url, name = NULL, headers = NULL, cache = NULL, ...)

Arguments

url	Path to the data.txt file or directory containing it.
headers	Optional list of headers to include or a function to generate them.
cache	Cache path. Every board requires a local cache to avoid downloading files multiple times. The default stores in a standard cache location for your operating system, but you can override if needed.
needs_index	Does this board have an index file?
browse_url	Not currently used
index_updated	Callback function used to update index
index_randomize	When retrieving data.txt at a parameter with random query string to defeat caching?
path	Subdirectory within url
versions	Should this board be registered with support for versions?
name	An optional name used identify the board. This is no longer generally needed since you should be passing around an explicit board object.
...	Additional parameters required to initialize a particular board.

Details

Use board that for a website that uses the data.txt specification. A data.txt file is a YAML that provides some basic metadata about a directory of files.

Examples

# register website board using datatxt file
board_register_datatxt(
  url = "https://datatxt.org/data.txt",
  name = "txtexample",
  cache = tempfile()
)

# find pins
pin_find(board = "txtexample")
