tableau_invoke: Programatically invoke a Tableau extension function

In plumbertableau: Turn 'Plumber' APIs into 'Tableau' Extensions

Description

Simulates invoking a Tableau extension function from a Tableau calculated field SCRIPT_* call. Intended for unit testing of plumbertableau extensions.

Usage

Arguments

pr	Either a tableau_extension style Plumber router object, or, the filename of a plumber.R that implements a Tableau extension.
script	The script string that identifies the plumber route to invoke. (Equivalent to the first argument to SCRIPT_STR, et al., in Tableau.) URL query parameters are allowed.
...	Zero or more unnamed arguments to be passed to the script.
.toJSON_args	Additional options that should be passed to jsonlite::toJSON() when the ... arguments are serialized; for example, pretty = TRUE or digits = 8.
.quiet	If TRUE, do not print response bodies when errors occur.

Value

The object that was returned from the request, JSON-decoded using jsonlite::parse_json.

Examples
