pip_clone: Clone a pipeline

In pipeflow: Fast Interactive Data Analysis Pipelines

Clone a pipeline

Description

Creates an independent copy of the pipeline. Changes to the cloned pipeline do not affect the original pipeline, and vice versa.

Usage

pip_clone(x, name = NULL)

Arguments

x	A pipeflow pipeline object.
name	Optional name for the cloned pipeline. If NULL, the original name is used.

Value

A cloned pipeflow pipeline object.

Examples

p <- pip_new("original") |>
  pip_add("s1", \(x = 1) x) |>
  pip_add("s2", \(x = ~s1) x + 1)

# Clone produces a fully independent copy
cp <- pip_clone(p, name = "copy")
pip_add(cp, "s3", \(x = ~s2) x * 10)

# As a result, the clone has the new step ...
cp

# ... while the original is left unchanged
p
