In rmoriebricklayer: Reproducible Data Capsules with Provenance and Fallback

Write a Manifest to JSON

Description

Serializes a manifest to a pretty-printed JSON file with the native JSON codec (bricklayer_json_to_json()); no jsonlite needed.

Usage

write_manifest_json(manifest, path)

Arguments

manifest	A manifest as returned by make_manifest() / built up with record().
path	Destination path for the JSON file.

Value

The path, returned invisibly.

Examples

man <- make_manifest(list(project = "demo"), environment = FALSE)
man <- record(man, "row_count", observed = 20, expected = 20)
path <- write_manifest_json(man, tempfile(fileext = ".json"))
file.exists(path)

# Round-trips back through jsonlite.
back <- bricklayer_json_from_json(path, simplifyVector = FALSE)
back$results$row_count$status        # "PASS"
