Beta diversity app: refactor to better fit compute plugin #16

Closed asizemore closed 1 year ago

asizemore commented 2 years ago

Revisit beta div now that we have some alpha div and ranked abundance experience. Make sure it's everything we need.

beta div needs to be organized so that it's easy to get the tabular data, and then the metadata as json. Possibly use two functions?

In more detail, i think it'll be nicer to have the main beta div function return the data table with a bunch of attributes. Then we can have writeDataResult in the compute plugin write just the data table. Once that's done, a second function can take the results object (data table with lots of attributes) and pull out just the nice json-formatted metadata. We can write that metadata with writeMetaResult in the compute plugin.

Basically since the writing of results is broken into two steps in the compute plugin, it'd be easier to have it split up here as well.
