tar_call

Identify the called targets function.


Description

Get the name of the currently running targets interface function. Returns NULL if not invoked inside a target or _targets.R (i.e. if not directly invoked by tar_make(), tar_visnetwork(), etc.).

Usage

tar_call()

Value

Character of length 1, name of the currently running targets interface function. For example, suppose you have a call to tar_call() inside a target or _targets.R. Then if you run tar_make(), tar_call() will return "tar_make".

  tar_target(x, tar_call())
})
tar_manifest() # prints "called function: tar_manifest"
