Extract a module's parameters, inputs, or outputs

These are more or less wrappers around moduleMetadata, with the exception that extraneous spaces and End-Of-Line characters will be removed from the desc arguments in defineParameters, defineInputs, and defineOutputs

moduleParams(module, path)

# S4 method for character,character
moduleParams(module, path)

moduleInputs(module, path)

# S4 method for character,character
moduleInputs(module, path)

moduleOutputs(module, path)

# S4 method for character,character
moduleOutputs(module, path)

Arguments

module	Character string. Your module's name.
path	Character string specifying the file path to modules directory. Default is to use the spades.modulePath option.

Value

data.frame

Examples

path <- system.file("sampleModules", package = "SpaDES.core")
sampleModules <- dir(path)

p <- moduleParams(sampleModules[3], path = path)
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
#> defineParameter: '.plotInitialTime' is not of specified type 'numeric'.
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
i <- moduleInputs(sampleModules[3], path = path)
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
#> defineParameter: '.plotInitialTime' is not of specified type 'numeric'.
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
o <- moduleOutputs(sampleModules[3], path = path)
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
#> defineParameter: '.plotInitialTime' is not of specified type 'numeric'.
#> defineParameter: '.useCache' is not of specified type 'logical'.
