feedback_to_console {DIZtools}

Print to the console. Internal use only.

Description

Helper function for the feedback function to print stuff to the console. Everything will also be added to the logfile. Internal use. Use the robust 'feedback' function instead.

Usage

feedback_to_console(
  print_this,
  type,
  findme,
  prefix,
  suffix,
  logjs,
  logfile_dir,
  headless = TRUE
)

Arguments

print_this

(Optional, String, default: "")

type

(Optional, String, default: "Info") E.g. "Warning", "Error". Default: "Info"

findme

(Optional, String, default: "") Recommended with length 10. String to find the message in the code. E.g. 10-digit random hex from https://onlinetools.com/random/generate-random-hexadecimal-numbers

prefix

Prefix (Optional, String, default: "") This is useful if print_this is an array/list. Each entry will then be new row with this prefix.

suffix

Suffix (Optional, String, default: "") Same like prefix but at the end of each line.

logjs

(Optional, Boolean, default: FALSE) If true (default: false) the print_this string will also be printed to the javascript-console. This only makes sense, if the gui is active.

logfile_dir

(Optional, String, default: "tempdir()") The absolute path to folder where the logfile will be stored.

headless

(Optional, Boolean, default: TRUE) Indicating, if the function is run only in the console (headless = TRUE) or on a GUI frontend (headless = FALSE).

Value

No return value, called for side effects (see description)
