Load browser configuration from YAML file

browser_load_config.Rd

Loads and validates a YAML configuration file for the genome browser. The configuration can contain multiple profiles (e.g., "local" and "server") with different misha database paths and settings. If no profile is specified, the function auto-detects based on which paths exist.

Usage

browser_load_config(file, profile = NULL)

Arguments

file

Path to YAML configuration file

profile

Profile name to use (default: auto-detect based on available paths). Common profiles are "local" and "server".

Value

Parsed and validated configuration list with resolved paths and defaults. Internal fields (prefixed with ._) contain resolved paths and metadata.

Details

The configuration file should contain:

  • profiles: Environment-specific settings (misha_root, base_dir, data_dir)

  • panels: Panel definitions for data visualization

  • vtracks: Virtual track definitions

  • vlines: Vertical line annotations

  • plot: Plot settings (iterator, extraction_mode, theme)

  • ui: User interface settings (title, defaults)

  • navigator: Gene navigator configuration

  • start: Initial region settings

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Load with auto-detected profile
cfg <- browser_load_config("my_browser.yaml")

# Load with specific profile
cfg <- browser_load_config("my_browser.yaml", profile = "server")

# Use loaded config to create browser
browser <- browser_create(config = "my_browser.yaml")
} # }
