Create an object of class task_id

Create a representation of a task ID item as a list object of class task_id. This can be combined with additional task_id objects using function create_task_ids() to create a task_ids class object for a given model_task. Such building blocks can ultimately be combined and then written out as or appended to tasks.json Hub config files.

Usage

create_task_id(
  name,
  required,
  optional,
  schema_version = "latest",
  branch = "main"
)

Arguments

name

character string, Name of task_id to create.

required

Atomic vector of required task_id values. Can be NULL if all values are optional.

optional

Atomic vector of optional task_id values. Can be NULL if all values are required.

schema_version

Character string specifying the json schema version to be used for validation. The default value "latest" will use the latest version available in the Infectious Disease Modeling Hubs schemas repository. Alternatively, a specific version of a schema (e.g. "v0.0.1") can be specified.

branch

The branch of the Infectious Disease Modeling Hubs schemas repository from which to fetch schema. Defaults to "main".

Value

a named list of class task_id representing a task ID.

Details

required and optional vectors for standard task_ids defined in a Hub schema must match data types and formats specified in the schema. For more details consult the documentation on tasks.json Hub config files

JSON schema data type names differ to those in R. Use the following mappings to create vectors of appropriate data types which will correspond to correct JSON schema data types during config file validation.

json	R
string	character
boolean	logical
integer	integer
number	double

Values across required and optional arguments must be unique. required and optional must be of the same type (unless NULL). Task_ids that represent dates must be supplied as character strings in ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD). If working with date objects, please convert to character (e.g. using as.character()) before supplying as arguments.

Task_ids not present in the schema are allowed as additional properties but the user is responsible for providing values of the correct data type.
