Serializer functions provided by plumber2

Source: R/serializers.R
serializers.Rd

These functions cover a large area of potential response body formats. They are all registered to their standard mime type but users may want to use them to register them to alternative types if they know it makes sense.

Usage

format_csv(...)

format_tsv(...)

format_rds(version = "3", ascii = FALSE, ...)

format_geojson(...)

format_feather(...)

format_parquet(...)

format_yaml(...)

format_htmlwidget(...)

format_format(..., sep = "\n")

format_print(..., sep = "\n")

format_cat(..., sep = "\n")

format_unboxed(...)

format_png(...)

format_jpeg(...)

format_tiff(...)

format_svg(...)

format_bmp(...)

format_pdf(...)

Arguments

...

Further argument passed on to the internal formatting function. See Details for information on which function handles the formatting internally in each serializer

ascii

a logical. If TRUE or NA, an ASCII representation is written; otherwise (default) a binary one. See also the comments in the help for save.

Additional registered serializers

Provided graphics serializers

Serializing graphic output is special because it requires operations before and after the handler is executed. Further, handlers creating graphics are expected to do so through side-effects (ie. call to graphics rendering) or by returning a ggplot2 object. If you want to create your own graphics serializer you should use device_formatter() for constructing it.

  • format_png() uses ragg::agg_png() for rendering. It is registered as "png" to the mime type image/png

  • format_jpeg() uses ragg::agg_jpeg() for rendering. It is registered as "jpeg" to the mime type image/jpeg

  • format_tiff() uses ragg::agg_tiff() for rendering. It is registered as "tiff" to the mime type image/tiff

  • format_svg() uses svglite::svglite() for rendering. It is registered as "svg" to the mime type image/svg+xml

  • format_bmp() uses grDevices::bmp() for rendering. It is registered as "bmp" to the mime type image/bmp

  • format_pdf() uses grDevices::pdf() for rendering. It is registered as "pdf" to the mime type application/pdf
