Replace a step

Description

Replaces a step's function while keeping it in the same position in the pipeline. Downstream steps are automatically marked as outdated and will re-run on the next pip_run().

Usage

pip_replace(x, step, fun, tags = character(0))

Arguments

`x`	A pipeflow pipeline object.
`step`	Step name.
`fun`	Function to execute for the step.
`tags`	Optional character vector of tags belonging to the step. Can also be adjusted later using `⁠[pip_tag()]⁠`.

Value

The updated pipeline, invisibly.

Examples

p <- pip_new() |>
    pip_add("load", \(n = 5) seq_len(n)) |>
    pip_add("double", \(x = ~load) x * 2)
pip_run(p)
p

# Replace "load" — downstream steps are automatically marked "outdated"
pip_replace(p, "load", \(n = 3) seq_len(n))
p

# Re-run to bring everything up to date
pip_run(p)
p
