Extract a List of inputTypes from the Project Configuration

Internal recursive helper to parse_field_inputtypes(). Traverses the nested categories / trees structure of an idaifield_config and collects one entry per field, recording its category, parent supercategory, field name, and inputType.

Usage

extract_inputtypes(nested_list, parent_name = NULL, category_name = NULL)

Arguments

nested_list

A configuration list as returned by get_configuration(), or a sub-list thereof during recursion.

parent_name

Character. Name of the supercategory currently being processed. NULL on the initial call; set internally during recursion.

category_name

Character. Name of the (sub)category currently being processed. NULL on the initial call; set internally during recursion.

Value

A list of named lists, each with elements category, parent, fieldname, and inputType, one entry per field found. Returns NULL if no fields are found.

Details

The config tree has two levels of nesting that matter here:

• Top level (categories): supercategories (e.g. Operation, Find).

• Second level (trees): subcategories (e.g. Trench inside Operation).

Fields live inside item$groups[[group]]$fields. The function visits both levels and records parent as the supercategory in both cases.

                          pwd = "hallo",
                          project = "rtest")
config <- get_configuration(connection = conn)
input_types <- extract_inputtypes(config)
} # }
