Specify paths for modules, inputs, outputs, and temporary rasters

Accessor functions for the paths slot in a simList object.

dataPath will return file.path(modulePath(sim), currentModule(sim), "data"). dataPath, like currentModule,is namespaced. This means that when it is used inside a module, then it will return that model-specific information. For instance, if used inside a module called "movingAgent", then currentModule(sim) will return "movingAgent", and dataPath(sim) will return file.path(modulePath(sim), "movingAgent", "data")

cachePath(sim)

# S4 method for simList

cachePath(sim) <- value

# S4 method for simList

inputPath(sim)

# S4 method for simList
inputPath(sim)

inputPath(sim) <- value

# S4 method for simList

outputPath(sim)

# S4 method for simList
outputPath(sim)

outputPath(sim) <- value

# S4 method for simList

modulePath(sim, module)

# S4 method for simList
modulePath(sim, module)

modulePath(sim) <- value

# S4 method for simList
modulePath(sim) <- value

rasterPath(sim)

# S4 method for simList
rasterPath(sim)

rasterPath(sim) <- value

# S4 method for simList
rasterPath(sim) <- value

dataPath(sim)

# S4 method for simList
dataPath(sim)

Arguments

sim	A simList object from which to extract element(s) or in which to replace element(s).
value	The object to be stored at the slot.
module	The optional character string of the module(s) whose paths are desired. If omitted, will return all modulePaths, if more than one exist.

Value

Returns or sets the value of the slot from the simList object.

Details

These are ways to add or access the file paths used by spades. There are five file paths: cachePath, modulePath, inputPath, outputPath, and rasterPath. Each has a function to get or set the value in a simList object. If no paths are specified, the defaults are as follows:

• cachePath: getOption("reproducible.cachePath");

• inputPath: getOption("spades.modulePath");

• modulePath: getOption("spades.inputPath");

• outputPath: getOption("spades.outputPath");

• rasterPath: raster::tmpDir()
