library(blockr.dag)library(blockr.dag)An extension block callback is run in the block context, that is part of blockr.dock. blockr.dock exposes a generic, namely extension_block_callback(). Each blockr extension, like blockr.dag, can provide its own method.
The motivation behind this mechanism is to update node state according to any block status change. For instance, if a block needs incoming data but does not have incoming connections, we may want to display an error badge on the node. If any error occurs during the block execution, we display a badge.
The extension_block_callback() DAG method returns a function with the following signature:
x is the extension object.id is the block id.board is the board object.update contains reactive values describing the board current actions.conditions contains reactive values that return a list of conditions associated with the block state.dag_extension is the extension instance. It is what is returned by the extension at the bottom of the main server function:list(
state = list(
graph = reactive(
input[[paste0(graph_id(), "-state")]]
)
),
proxy = proxy
)In the callback we need it to get the DAG proxy object containing the correct namespace, which allows to update the DAG from another module.
session is the current block session, a different namespace as the DAG extension.This callback function returns NULL.
