labkey.domain.createIndices {Rlabkey}

Helper function to create a domain design indices list

Description

Create a list of indices definitions which can then be used by labkey.domain.createDesign

Usage

labkey.domain.createIndices(colNames, asUnique, existingIndices = NULL)

Arguments

colNames

a list of string column names for the index

asUnique

a logical TRUE or FALSE value for if a UNIQUE index should be used

existingIndices

a list of previously created indices definitions to append to

Details

This helper function can be used to construct the list of indices definitions for a domain design structure. Each call to this function takes in the column names from the domain to use in the index and a parameter indicating if this should be a UNIQUE index. A third parameter can be used to build up more then one indices definitions.

Value

The data frame containing the list of indices definitions, concatenated with the existingIndices object if provided.
