BayLum (version 0.3.2)

write_YAMLConfigFile: Write Auto Generated YAML BayLum Configuration File to the Disc

Description

This little function helps to auto-generate a the BayLum YAML configuration file or a list that can be passed to create_DataFile. The YAML file itself can be modified in any text editor. The allowed parameters are extracted from the reference YAML file

Usage

write_YAMLConfigFile(output_file = NULL, ...)

Value

The function has two output modes:

• (1) output_file = <file_path>: Writes a YAML into the specified path and returns this path.

• (2) output_file = NULL: Returns a list of allowed function parameters that can be passed to the function and it returns a list that can be used a passed on to create_DataFile.

Arguments

output_file

character (with default): valid file path of the output file

...

parameters to be preset in the YAML file (run write_YAMLConfigFile() to see allowed parameters) The parameter sample is special, because it can be provided as a character vector of any length. The number of elements in the vector (sample names) are then used to multiply the records in the configuration file.
