Load field definitions from the Sequoia configuration

Internal helper used by seq_normalize() to access field metadata defined in inst/config/seq_fields.yaml. When field is NULL, the full configuration list is returned. Otherwise, the corresponding field definition is extracted.

Usage

seq_field(field = NULL, filepath = NULL)

Arguments

field: character or NULL; If provided, must match a key in inst/config/seq_fields.yaml.
filepath: character or NULL; override for the path to the default YAML configuration file (inst/config/seq_fields.yaml). Used mainly for testing.

Value

A list describing all fields, or a single field definition.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Return all field definitions
seq_field()

# All avaialbe fields
names(seq_field())

# Return the definition of a specific field
seq_field("identifier")
} # }
