Create NCI GDC filters for limiting GDC query results

Description

Searching the NCI GDC allows for complex filtering based on logical operations and simple comparisons. This function facilitates writing such filter expressions in R-like syntax with R code evaluation.

Usage

make_filter(expr, available_fields)

Arguments

expr

a lazy-wrapped expression or a formula RHS equivalent

available_fields

a character vector of the additional names that will be injected into the filter evaluation environment

Details

If used with available_fields, "bare" fields that are named in the available_fields character vector can be used in the filter expression without quotes.

Value

a list that represents an R version of the JSON that will ultimately be used in an NCI GDC search or other query.
