Create a mock JSON request that mimics the request structure of Tableau

mock_tableau_request() creates a JSON object formatted like a request from Tableau. The JSON object it returns can be pasted directly into the "Try it out" field in the Swagger documentation for an endpoint to test its functionality.

mock_tableau_request(script, data, ...)

Arguments

script	String indicating the path to the endpoint to be called
data	A list or dataframe that is serialized to JSON
...	Additional arguments passed to jsonlite::toJSON()

Value

A JSON object that can be passed to a Tableau endpoint

Details

Behind the scenes, Tableau sends all requests to the /evaluate endpoint. Each request is a JSON object containing two items: script and data. plumbertableau uses script to specify an individual endpoint to call, and passes the arguments in data on to the function at that endpoint.

Examples

mock_tableau_request("/loess/predict", mtcars[,c("hp", "mpg")])
