R folder loadsupport in plumber about plumber HOT 10 CLOSED

@slodge Could you describe how you would use it?

What would be the advantage/distinction compared to?

pr <- plumber::plumb(dir = ".")

Thank you

from plumber.

Our team would use it in the same way they use it in Shiny.

It would "just work" when deploying to Connect in the same way it does when they use it in Shiny.

Maybe a code example? It would help me understand what is required to build the feature you are referencing.

As I understand it, the loadsupport does the same thing as plumb dir + run?

What am I missing?

How does it relate to connect?

from plumber.

Sure....

File1 - plumber.R

library(plumber)

#* @apiTitle Plumber Example API
#* @apiDescription Plumber example description.

#* Do foo
#* @param msg The message to foo
#* @get /do
function(msg = "") {
  foo(msg)
}

File 2 - support.R

foo <- function(m) {
  m
}

Run locally in RStudio using "Run API" button:

Deployed to Connect:

Oh, I get it now. Seems simple enough.

Also... I don't think plumber::plumb(dir = 'Plumber/MulitFile/plumber/.') |> plumber::pr_run() works either... I think that plumb stage only parses for endpoints?

Idea : Maybe also support hotreload when source file change on disk.

Separate issue?
(Not saying it's a bad idea - just that neither the use case nor the implementation really overlap - suspect hotreload would require much more work, including javascript inside swagger front ends)

Yes, please.

This isn't a hugely important issue.

Respectfully closing.
