latest_version: Get the latest version

In nf-osi/nfportalutils: NF Portal Utilities

Get the latest version

Description

Get latest version, with special handling for semantics of "latest" regarding new collection types. Datasets and dataset collections always start out as draft so unlike other entities there is a concept of a stable version which is the "real" latest, but which might not always exist. For datasets/dataset collections the latest version refers to a DRAFT, so latest stable version is versionNumber - 1 under the condition that the versionNumber is greater or equal to 2. When versionNumber = 1 and isLatestVersion is TRUE, this means there is not yet a stable version. When using stable version semantics, if a stable version does not exist an error will be thrown.

Usage

latest_version(id, version_semantics = c("abs", "stable"))

Arguments

id	Dataset id. See details.
version_semantics	Use "abs" for absolute latest version or "stable". Only used for collection entities. See details.

Details

The parameter version_semantics allows user to specify "what type of latest do you mean?".

Note: Do not use with versioned ids of the form "syn12345678.3"
