Get the name of the target currently running.

Usage

tar_name(default = "target")

Arguments

default

Character, value to return if tar_name() is called on its own outside a targets pipeline. Having a default lets users run things without tar_make(), which helps peel back layers of code and troubleshoot bugs.

Value

Character of length 1. If called inside a pipeline, tar_name() returns name of the target currently running. Otherwise, the return value is default.

Examples

tar_name()
#> [1] "target"
tar_name(default = "custom_target_name")
#> [1] "custom_target_name"
if (identical(Sys.getenv("TAR_EXAMPLES"), "true")) { # for CRAN
tar_dir({ # tar_dir() runs code from a temp dir for CRAN.
tar_script(tar_target(x, tar_name()), ask = FALSE)
tar_make()
tar_read(x)
})
}
