Description

Write HTML output from the site.R file in a site project.

Usage

site_build(dir, file = "site.R", name = "index.html", variables = NULL,
  options = list(), bundle_data = FALSE, bundle_package = FALSE,
  bundle_libs = FALSE, libs_overwrite = FALSE, libs_base_only = FALSE,
  remote_data_handler = TRUE, open_after = FALSE, aggregate = TRUE,
  sparse_time = TRUE, force = FALSE, version = "stable", parent = NULL,
  include_api = FALSE, endpoint = NULL, tag_id = NULL, serve = FALSE,
  host = "127.0.0.1", port = 3000, verbose = TRUE)

site_start_server(dir, host = "127.0.0.1", port = 3000)

Arguments

dir

Path to the site project directory.

file

Name of the R file to build the site from.

name

Name of the HTML file to be created.

variables

A character vector of variable names to include from the data. If no specified, all variables are included.

options

A list with options to be passed to the site. These will be written to docs/settings.json, which can be edited by hand.

bundle_data

Logical; if TRUE, will write the data to the site file; useful when running the site locally without a server (viewing the file directly in a browser). Otherwise, the data will be loaded separately through an http request.

bundle_package

Logical; if TRUE, will include parts of the datapackage.json file in the settings.json and index.html files. Otherwise, this will be loaded separately through an http request.

bundle_libs

Logical; if TRUE, will download dependencies to the docs/lib directory. This can allow you to run the site offline for all but Leaflet tiles and any remote resources specified in file (such as map shapes) or metadata (such as map overlays).

libs_overwrite

Logical; if TRUE, will re-download existing dependencies.

libs_base_only

Logical; if TRUE, will only download the base community dependencies to be served locally.

remote_data_handler

Logical; if FALSE, will load the data handler script from the site's directory, (which is updated on rebuild) even when version is custom. Useful for locally testing an API.

open_after

Logical; if TRUE, will open the site in a browser after it is built.

aggregate

Logical; if TRUE, and there is a larger datasets with IDs that partially match IDs in a smaller dataset or that has a map to those IDs, and there are NAs in the smaller dataset, will attempt to fill NAs with averages from the larger dataset.

sparse_time

Logical; if FALSE, will not trim times from a variable that are all missing.

force

Logical; if TRUE, will reprocess data even if the source data is older than the existing processed version.

version

Version of the base script and stylesheet: "stable" (default) for the current stable release, "dev" for the current unstable release, or "local" for a copy of the development files (community.js and community.css) served from http://localhost:8000. Can also be a URL where files can be found ({version}/community.js and {version}/community.css).

parent

Directory path or repository URL of a data site from which to use data, rather than using local data.

include_api

Logical; if TRUE, will write the docs/functions/api.js file.

endpoint

URL of the served API.

tag_id

Google tag ID (in the form of GTM-XXXXXX, were GTM- might be different depending on the tag type (such as G- or GT-); see https://tagmanager.google.com), which will enables tracking, conditional on the settings.tracking setting.

serve

Logical; if TRUE, starts a local server from the site's docs directory. Once a server is running, you can use stopAllServers to stop it.

host

The IPv4 address to listen to if serve is TRUE; defaults to "127.0.0.1".

port

The port to listen on if serve is TRUE; defaults to 3000.

verbose

Logical; if FALSE, will not show status messages.

Value

Invisible path to the written file.
