In bioDS/beter: BEAST Templates in R

Recursively parse TOML config First recursively parse any TOML configs linked in the template block and then process XML chunks by substituting the moustache tags using the content of the default block and any parameters from the parent TOML config.

Description

There are two different ways how parameters and xml chunks sharing the same name are merged. Parameters will overwrite parameters with the same name in their daughter config. This means that subtemplates/subconfigs can be shared by different TOML configs and be parametrized according to their need. On the other hand, xml chunks with the same name are merged together as a list, this makes it possible for different subtemplates to define their own priors, operators or logs, which can be then put in a single point without replacing each other's structures. This makes it possible to build a BEAST2 XML.

Usage

parse_config(file, defaults = NULL)

Arguments

file	TOML config
defaults	parameters that will replace any other parameters from the default block

Value

list of processed XML chunks from this or any daughter config and the default parameter block
