collapse_galah {galah}

Generate a query

Description

collapse() constructs a valid query so it can be inspected before being sent. It typically occurs at the end of a pipe, traditionally begun with galah_call(), that is used to define a query. As of version 2.0, objects of class data_request (created using request_data()), metadata_request (from request_metadata()) or files_request (from request_files()) are all supported by collapse(). Any of these objects can be created using galah_call() via the method argument.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data_request'
collapse(x, ..., mint_doi, .expand = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'metadata_request'
collapse(x, .expand = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'files_request'
collapse(x, thumbnail = FALSE, ...)

Arguments
