main: Execute entire strata project

In strata: Simple Framework for Simple Automation

Execute entire strata project

Description

main() will read the .toml files inside the project_path and begin sourcing the strata and laminae in the order specified by the user, with or without logging messages.

When a strata project is created main.R is added to the project root. This script houses main(), and this file is the entry point to the project and should be the target for automation. However, main() can be called from anywhere, and users can opt to not use main.R at all.

Usage

main(project_path, silent = FALSE)

Arguments

project_path	A path to strata project folder.
silent	Suppress log messages? If FALSE (the default), log messages will be printed to the console. If TRUE, log messages will be suppressed.

Value

invisible execution plan.

.toml files

There are two types of .toml files that main() will read:

• .strata.toml - a singular file inside the ⁠<project_path>/strata⁠ folder

• .laminae.toml - a file inside each ⁠<project_path>/strata/<stratum_name>⁠ folder

  These files are created by the strata functions and are used to determine primarily the order of execution for the strata and laminae. Anything not referenced by a .toml will be ignored by main() and other functions such as survey_strata(), adhoc_stratum(), and adhoc_lamina(). Users can safely add other folders and files in the project root, and even within the subfolders and they will be ignored, unless users have code known by a .toml that references them.

  Users can use the functions survey_tomls() and [view_toml())] to find and view the .toml files in their project.

[view_toml())]: R:view_toml())

Examples

tmp <- fs::dir_create(fs::file_temp())
result <- strata::build_quick_strata_project(tmp, 1, 1)
main(tmp)
fs::dir_delete(tmp)
