Prepare access

Source: R/prep_access.R
prep_access.Rd

Extract fileNames from data file(s) and add them to access.csv. The helper validate_file_paths can be used to create vectors of valid file paths that can be checked and then passed as data_path argument to prep_access.

Usage

prep_access(
  data_path = "data",
  access_path = file.path("data", "metadata", "access.csv"),
  ...
)

Arguments

data_path

character vector of either:

  1. path(s) to the data file(s).

  2. single path to directory containing data file(s). Currently only tabular .csv and .tsv or .rds files are supported.

access_path

path to the access.csv file. Defaults to data/metadata/access.csv.

...

parameters passed to list.files(). For example, use recursive = TRUE to list files in a folder recursively or use pattern to filter files for patterns.

Value

Updates access.csv and writes to access_path.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# First create the metadata tempaltes
create_spice()

# Then begin filling them in from your data files
prep_access()
} # }
