targetsboard

An experimental alternative to targets::tar_watch() to monitor and (eventually) control DAGs from the UI.

Ultra-early stage with some performance issues and clunkyness! Still finding out if any useful. Help/Support/Ideas are welcomed!

Installation

You can install the development version of targetsboard like so:

remotes::install_github("Athospd/targetsboard")

Usage

In your normal, day-to-day targets workflow, launch the targetsboard through tar_board().

library(targetsboard)

# launch the app
app <- tar_board()

# go to localhost:9999 where the board is being served
browseURL("http://localhost:9999")

# you can check it is alive, running on background
app$is_alive()

It will keep track of your targets’ metadata just like tar_watch() would do.

tar_make()

# tar_destroy()
# tar_invalidate()
# tar_read()
# tar_... and so on

# you can eventually shut the app down like so
app$kill()
