Examples

# Create a rename block
new_rename_block(list(miles_per_gallon = "mpg", cylinders = "cyl"))

if (interactive()) {
  # Basic usage with mtcars dataset
  library(blockr.core)
  serve(new_rename_block(), data = list(data = mtcars))

  # With predefined renames
  serve(
    new_rename_block(list(miles_per_gallon = "mpg", cylinders = "cyl")),
    data = list(data = mtcars)
  )

  # Connected blocks example
  serve(
    new_board(
      blocks = list(
        a = new_dataset_block(),
        b = new_rename_block(list(horsepower = "hp"))
      ),
      links = links(
        from = c("a"),
        to = c("b")
      )
    )
  )
