Create a _server.yml file to describe your API

Source: R/create_server_yml.R
create_server_yml.Rd

While you can manually create a plumber2 API by calling api(), you will often need to deploy the api somewhere else. To facilitate this you can create a _server.yml that encapsulates all of your settings and plumber files. If you call api() with a path to such a file the API will be constructed according to its content.

Usage

create_server_yml(..., path = ".", constructor = NULL, freeze_opt = TRUE)

Arguments

...

path to files and/or directories that contain annotated plumber files to be used by your API

path

The folder to place the generated _server.yml file in

constructor

The path to a file that creates a plumber2 API object. Can be omitted in which case an API object will be created for you

freeze_opt

Logical specifying whether any options you currently have locally (either as environment variables or R options) should be written to the _server.yml file. Shared secret will never be written to the file and you must find a different way to move that to your deployment server.
