How to enter lists in R? #4

Closed philipbaileynar closed 3 years ago

philipbaileynar commented 3 years ago

@David-Fowler can you help me format the following query please.

The sampleMetrics endpoint takes three arguments:

translation ID (I am trying ID 3 which refers to OTUCode2)
fixed count (I am using 300)
One of the following:
- list of sample IDs
- list of box IDs
- list of project IDs

How do I format the following with a single sample ID?

NAMCr::query('sampleMetrics',list(3,300, sampleIds:list(164638)))

David-Fowler commented 3 years ago

This would be the required syntax for that query:

data = NAMCr::query('sampleMetrics', list(translationId=3, fixedCount=300, sampleIds=c(164638))) or data = NAMCr::query('sampleMetrics', list(translationId=3, fixedCount=300, sampleIds=164638))

Comma separate additional sampleId values in the c(...) array if desired like in the first line above. Single values can skip the c(...) syntax completely.

Added a note to add an enhancement to make this less of an issue for users in the future.

The syntax @David-Fowler provided works.
