Export a hierarchy into a file

This function allows to write nested hierarchies into files on your disk.

hier_export(tree, as = "df", path, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

tree	a (nested) hierarchy created using hier_create() or modified using hier_add(), hier_delete() or hier_rename().
as	(character) specifying the export format. Possible choices are: "df": a data.frame with two columns. The first columns contains a string containing as many @ as the level of the node in the string (e.g @ corresponds to the overall total while @ would be all codes contributing to the total. The second column contains the names of the levels. "dt": like the df-version but this result is converted to a data.table "argus": used to create hrc-files suitable for tau-argus "json": json format suitable e.g. as input for the shinyTree package. "code": code required to generate the hierarchy "sdc": a list which is a suitable input for sdcTable
path	(character) relative or absolute path where results should be written to
verbose	(logical) additional results

Examples

h <- hier_create(root = "Total", nodes = LETTERS[1:2])
h <- hier_add(h, root = "A", nodes = c("a1", "a2"))
h <- hier_add(h, root = "B", nodes = c("b1", "b2"))
h <- hier_add(h, root = "b1", nodes = "b1a")
hier_display(h)
#> Total
#> ├─A
#> │ ├─a1
#> │ └─a2
#> └─B
#>   ├─b1
#>   │ └─b1a
#>   └─b2

# export as input for tauArgus
hier_export(h, as = "argus", path = file.path(tempdir(), "h.hrc"))
