A template report written out as its items — tfl_template_to

The B use of a report's template SPEC (template: {name, args} in its YAML file): the template's items – with the study's defaults for the parameters that take them, as tfl_resolve_output() gives them – merged with the report's own ard:, data: and content:, and the template: taken out. Each item the template made keeps the mark from = "template:<name>". The report is then a code SPEC: later changes of the template do not reach it.

Usage

tfl_template_to_spec(output, study)

Arguments

output: A tfl_output as read from its file (tfl_read_output()).
study: Its study (tfl_read_study_spec()).

Value

The tfl_output, unresolved (its extends kept): write it with tfl_write_output(). A report with no template SPEC comes back as it is.

Examples

d <- system.file("extdata", "spec-yaml", package = "tflspec")
s <- tfl_read_study_spec(d)
o <- tfl_output("T-9", "table", population = "SAF",
                template = list(name = "demog", args = list(population = "SAF")))
b <- tfl_template_to_spec(o, s)
vapply(b$content, function(it) it$fn, "")
