The AnVIL package provides end-user and developer functionality. For the end-user, AnVIL provides fast binary package installation, utilities for working with Terra / AnVIL table and data resources, and convenient functions for file movement to and from Google cloud storage. For developers, AnVIL provides programmatic access to the Terra, Leonardo, Rawls, and Dockstore RESTful programming interface, including helper functions to transform JSON responses to more formats more amenable to manipulation in _R_. vignette: | %\VignetteIndexEntry{Introduction to the AnVIL package} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} has_gcloud <- AnVILBase::has_avworkspace( strict = TRUE, platform = AnVILGCP::gcp() ) knitr::opts_chunk$set( eval = has_gcloud, collapse = TRUE, cache = TRUE ) options(width=75) ``` # Installation Install the _AnVIL_ package with ```{r, eval = FALSE} if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager", repos = "https://cran.r-project.org") BiocManager::install("AnVIL") ``` Once installed, load the package with ```{r, message =FALSE, eval = TRUE, cache = FALSE} library(AnVILGCP) library(AnVIL) ``` # Quick start ## Up to speed with _AnVIL_ The [AnVIL project][] is an analysis, visualization, and informatics cloud-based space for data access, sharing and computing across large genomic-related data sets. The _AnVIL_ project supports use of _R_ through Jupyter notebooks and _RStudio_. Support for _RStudio_ is preliminary as of April 2020. This package provides access to _AnVIL_ resources from within the _AnVIL_ cloud, and also from stand-alone computing resources such as a user's laptop. Use of this package requires AnVIL and Google cloud computing billing accounts. Consult [AnVIL training guides][] for details on establishing these accounts. The remainder of this vignette assumes that an AnVIL account has been established and successfully linked to a Google cloud computing billing account. [AnVIL project]: https://anvilproject.org/ [AnVIL training guides]: https://anvilproject.org/training/guides ## Use in the AnVIL cloud In the AnVIL cloud environment, clone or create a new workspace. Click on the `Cloud Environment` button at the top right of the screen. Choose the `R / Bioconductor` runtime to use in a Jupyter notebook, or `RStudio` to use in RStudio. When creating a Jupyter notebook, choose `R` as the engine. A new layout is being introduced in Fall of 2022. If the workspace has an 'Analyses' tab, navigate to it and look for the 'Environment Configuration' button to the right of the screen. For a Jupyter notebook-based environment, select `jupyter` 'Environment Settings' followed by `Customize` and the `R / Bioconductor` application configuration. _RStudio_ is available by clicking on the `RStudio / Bioconductor` 'Environment Settings' button. For tasks more complicated than manipulation and visualization of tabular data (e.g., performing steps of a single-cell work flow) the default Jupyter notebook configuration of 1 CPU and 3.75 GB of memory will be insufficient; the RStudio image defaults to 4 CPU and 15 GB of memory ## Local use Local use requires that the gcloud SDK is installed, and that the billing account used by AnVIL can be authenticated with the user. These requirements are satisfied when using the AnVIL compute cloud. For local use, one must - [Install][install-gcloud-sdk] the gcloud sdk (for Linux and Windows, `cloudml::gcloud_install()` provides an alternative way to install gcloud). - Define an environment variable or `option()` named `GCLOUD_SDK_PATH` pointing to the root of the SDK installation, e.g, ```{r, eval = FALSE} dir(file.path(Sys.getenv("GCLOUD_SDK_PATH"), "bin"), "^(gcloud|gsutil)$") ## [1] "gcloud" "gsutil" ``` Test the installation with `gcloud_exists()` ```{r, eval = TRUE} ## the code chunks in this vignette are fully evaluated when ## gcloud_exists() returns TRUE AnVILGCP::gcloud_exists() ``` ## Graphical interfaces Several commonly used functions have an additional 'gadget' interface, allowing selection of workspaces (`avworkspace_gadget()`, DATA tables (`avtable_gadget()`) and workflows `avworkflow_gadget()` using a simple tabular graphical user interface. The `browse_workspace()` function allows selection of a workspace to be opened as a browser tab. # For end users ## Fast binary package installation The AnVIL cloud compute environment makes use of Docker containers with defined installations of binary system software. Bioconductor has arranged to build 'binary' _R_ packages that work out of the box with the `BiocManager::install()` function. Binary packages (when available and current) install without requiring compilation, and are faster to install than packages built from source. ```{r, eval = FALSE} BiocManager::install("GenomicFeatures") ``` Thus `BiocManager::install()` can be used as an improved method for installing _CRAN_ and _Bioconductor_ binary and source packages. Because package installation is fast, it can be convenient to install packages into libraries on a project-specific basis, e.g., to create a 'snapshot' of packages for reproducible analysis. Use ```{r, eval = FALSE} add_libpaths("~/my/project") ``` as a convenient way to prepend a project-specific library path to `.libPaths()`. New packages will be installed into this library. ## Working with Google cloud-based resources The AnVIL package implements functions to facilitate access to Google cloud resources. ### Using `gcloud_*()` for account management {.unnumbered} The `gcloud_*()` family of functions provide access to Google cloud functions implemented by the `gcloud` binary. `gcloud_project()` returns the current billing account. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} gcloud_account() # authentication account gcloud_project() # billing project information ``` A convenient way to access _any_ `gcloud` SDK command is to use `gcloud_cmd()`, e.g., ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} gcloud_cmd("projects", "list") %>% readr::read_table() %>% filter(startsWith(PROJECT_ID, "anvil")) ``` This translates into the command line `gcloud projects list`. Help is also available within _R_, e.g., ```{r, eval = FALSE} gcloud_help("projects") ``` Use `gcloud_help()` (with no arguments) for an overview of available commands. ### Using `gsutil_*()` for file and bucket management {.unnumbered} The `gsutil_*()` family of functions provides an interface to google bucket manipulation. The following refers to publicly available 1000 genomes data available in Google Cloud Storage. ```{r} src <- "gs://genomics-public-data/1000-genomes/" ``` `gsutil_ls()` lists bucket content; `gsutil_stat()` additional detail about fully-specified buckets. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} gsutil_ls(src) other <- paste0(src, "other") gsutil_ls(other, recursive = TRUE) sample_info <- paste0(src, "other/sample_info/sample_info.csv") gsutil_stat(sample_info) ``` `gsutil_cp()` copies buckets from or to Google cloud storage; copying to cloud storage requires write permission, of course. One or both of the arguments can be cloud endpoints. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} fl <- tempfile() gsutil_cp(sample_info, fl) csv <- readr::read_csv(fl, guess_max = 5000L, col_types = readr::cols()) csv ``` `gsutil_pipe()` provides a streaming interface that does not require intermediate disk storage. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} pipe <- gsutil_pipe(fl, "rb") readr::read_csv(pipe, guess_max = 5000L, col_types = readr::cols()) %>% dplyr::select("Sample", "Family_ID", "Population", "Gender") ``` `gsutil_rsync()` synchronizes a local file hierarchy with a remote bucket. This can be a powerful operation when `delete = TRUE` (removing local or remote files), and has default option `dry = TRUE` to indicate the consequences of the sync. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} destination <- tempfile() stopifnot(dir.create(destination)) source <- paste0(src, "other/sample_info") ## dry run gsutil_rsync(source, destination) gsutil_rsync(source, destination, dry = FALSE) dir(destination, recursive = TRUE) ## nothing to synchronize gsutil_rsync(source, destination, dry = FALSE) ## one file requires synchronization unlink(file.path(destination, "README")) gsutil_rsync(source, destination, dry = FALSE) ``` `localize()` and `delocalize()` provide 'one-way' synchronization. `localize()` moves the content of the `gs://` `source` to the local file system. `localize()` could be used at the start of an analysis to retrieve data stored in the google cloud to the local compute instance. `delocalize()` performs the complementary operation, copying local files to a `gs://` destination. The `unlink = TRUE` option to `delocalize()` unlinks local `source` files recursively. It could be used at the end of an analysis to move results to the cloud for long-term persistent storage. ## Using `av*()` to work with AnVIL tables and data ### Tables, reference data, and persistent files {.unnumbered} AnVIL organizes data and analysis environments into 'workspaces'. AnVIL-provided data resources in a workspace are managed under the 'DATA' tab as 'TABLES', 'REFERENCE DATA', and 'OTHER DATA'; the latter includes ''Workspace Data' and 'Files', with 'Files' corresponding to a google cloud bucket associated with the workspace. These components of the graphical user interface are illustrated in the figure below. ```{r, echo = FALSE, cache = FALSE} knitr::include_graphics('images/AnVIL-Workspace-Data.png') ``` The AnVIL package provides programmatic tools to access different components of the data workspace, as summarized in the following table. Workspace | AnVIL function ---------------|--------------- TABLES | `avtables()` REFERENCE DATA | None OTHER DATA | `avbucket()` Workspace Data | `avdata()` Files | `avfiles_ls()`, `avfiles_backup()`, `avfiles_restore()` ```{r, include = FALSE, cache = FALSE, eval = has_gcloud} avworkspace_namespace("pathogen-genomic-surveillance") avworkspace_name("COVID-19") ``` Data tables in a workspace are available by specifying the `namespace` (billing account) and `name` (workspace name) of the workspace. When on the AnVIL in a Jupyter notebook or RStudio, this information can be discovered with ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} avworkspace_namespace() avworkspace_name() ``` It is also possible to specify, when not in the AnVIL compute environment, the data resource to work with. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} ## N.B.: IT MAY NOT BE NECESSARY TO SET THESE WHEN ON ANVIL avworkspace_namespace("pathogen-genomic-surveillance") avworkspace_name("COVID-19") ``` ### Using `avtable*()` for accessing tables {.unnumbered} Accessing data tables use the `av*()` functions. Use `avtables()` to discover available tables, and `avtable()` to retrieve a particular table ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} avtables() sample <- avtable("sample") sample ``` The data in the table can then be manipulated using standard _R_ commands, e.g., to identify SRA samples for which a final assembly fasta file is available. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} sample %>% select("sample_id", contains("fasta")) %>% filter(!is.na(final_assembly_fasta)) ``` Users can easily add tables to their own workspace using `avtable_import()`, perhaps as the final stage of a pipe ```{r, eval = FALSE} my_cars <- mtcars |> as_tibble(rownames = "model") |> mutate(model = gsub(" ", "_", model)) job_status <- avtable_import(my_cars) ``` Tables are imported 'asynchronously', and large tables (more than 1.5 million elements; see the `pageSize` argument) are uploaded in pages. The `job status` is a tibble summarizing each page; the status of the upload can be checked with ```{r, eval = FALSE} avtable_import_status(job_status) ``` The transcript of a session where page size is set intentionally small for illustration is ```{r, eval = FALSE} (job_status <- avtable_import(my_cars, pageSize = 10)) ## pageSize = 10 rows (4 pages) ## |======================================================================| 100% ## # A tibble: 4 × 5 ## page from_row to_row job_id status ## ## 1 1 1 10 a32e9706-f63c-49ed-9620-b214746b9392 Uploaded ## 2 2 11 20 f2910ac2-0954-4fb9-b36c-970845a266b7 Uploaded ## 3 3 21 30 e18adc5b-d26f-4a8a-a0d7-a232e17ac8d2 Uploaded ## 4 4 31 32 d14efb89-e2dd-4937-b80a-169520b5f563 Uploaded (job_status <- avtable_import_status(job_status)) ## checking status of 4 avtable import jobs ## |======================================================================| 100% ## # A tibble: 4 × 5 ## page from_row to_row job_id status ## ## 1 1 1 10 a32e9706-f63c-49ed-9620-b214746b9392 Done ## 2 2 11 20 f2910ac2-0954-4fb9-b36c-970845a266b7 Done ## 3 3 21 30 e18adc5b-d26f-4a8a-a0d7-a232e17ac8d2 ReadyForUpsert ## 4 4 31 32 d14efb89-e2dd-4937-b80a-169520b5f563 ReadyForUpsert (job_status <- avtable_import_status(job_status)) ## checking status of 4 avtable import jobs ## |======================================================================| 100% ## # A tibble: 4 × 5 ## page from_row to_row job_id status ## ## 1 1 1 10 a32e9706-f63c-49ed-9620-b214746b9392 Done ## 2 2 11 20 f2910ac2-0954-4fb9-b36c-970845a266b7 Done ## 3 3 21 30 e18adc5b-d26f-4a8a-a0d7-a232e17ac8d2 Done ## 4 4 31 32 d14efb89-e2dd-4937-b80a-169520b5f563 Done ``` The Terra data model allows for tables that represent samples of other tables. The following create or add rows to `participant_set` and `sample_set` tables. Each row represents a sample from the corresponding 'origin' table. ```{r, eval = FALSE} ## editable copy of '1000G-high-coverage-2019' workspace avworkspace("anvil-datastorage/1000G-high-coverage-2019") sample <- avtable("sample") %>% # existing table mutate(set = sample(head(LETTERS), nrow(.), TRUE)) # arbitrary groups sample %>% # new 'participant_set' table avtable_import_set("participant", "set", "participant") sample %>% # new 'sample_set' table avtable_import_set("sample", "set", "name") ``` The `TABLES` data in a workspace are usually provided as curated results from AnVIL. Nonetheless, it can sometimes be useful to delete individual rows from a table. Use `avtable_delete_values()`. ### Using `avdata()` for accessing Workspace Data {.unnumbered} The 'Workspace Data' is accessible through `avdata()` (the example below shows that some additional parsing may be necessary). ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} avdata() ``` ### Using `avbucket()` and workspace files {.unnumbered} Each workspace is associated with a google bucket, with the content summarized in the 'Files' portion of the workspace. The location of the files is ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} bucket <- avbucket() bucket ``` The content of the bucket can be viewed with ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} avfiles_ls() ``` If the workspace is owned by the user, then persistent data can be written to the bucket. ```{r, eval = FALSE} ## requires workspace ownership uri <- avbucket() # discover bucket bucket <- file.path(uri, "mtcars.tab") write.table(mtcars, gsutil_pipe(bucket, "w")) # write to bucket ``` A particularly convenient operation is to back up files or directories from the compute node to the bucket ```{r, eval = FALSE} ## backup all files and folders in the current working directory avfiles_backup(getwd(), recursive = TRUE) ## backup all files in the current directory avfiles_backup(dir()) ## backup all files to gs:///scratch/ avfiles_backup(dir, paste0(avbucket(), "/scratch")) ``` Note that the backup operations have file naming behavior like the Linux `cp` command; details are described in the help page `gsutil_help("cp")`. Use `avfiles_restore()` to restore files or directories from the workspace bucket to the compute node. ## Using `avnotebooks*()` for notebook management Python (`.ipynb`) or R (`.Rmd`) notebooks are associated with individual workspaces under the DATA tab, `Files/notebooks` location. Jupyter notebooks are exposed through the Terra interface under the NOTEBOOKS tab, and are automatically synchronized between the workspace and the current runtime. R markdown documents may also be associated with the workspace (under DATA `Files/notebooks`) but are not automatically synchronized with the current runtime. The functions in this section help manage R markdown documents. Available notebooks in the workspace are listed with `avnotebooks()`. Copies of the notebooks on the current runtime are listed with `avnotebooks(local = TRUE)`. The default location of the notebooks is `~//notebooks/`. Use `avnotebooks_localize()` to synchronize the version of the notebooks in the workspace to the current runtime. This operation might be used when a new runtime is created, and one wishes to start with the notebooks found in the workspace. If a newer version of the notebook exists in the workspace, this will overwrite the older version on the runtime, potentially causing data loss. For this reason, `avnotebooks_localize()` by default reports the actions that will be performed, without actually performing them. Use `avnotebooks_localize(dry = FALSE)` to perform the localization. Use `avnotebooks_delocalize()` to synchronize local versions of the notebooks on the current runtime to the workspace. This operation might be used when developing a workspace, and wishing to update the definitive notebook in the workspace. When `dry = FALSE`, this operation also overwrites older workspace notebook files with their runtime version. ## Using `avworkflows_*()` for workflows See the vignette "Running an AnVIL workflow within R", in this package, for details on running workflows and managing output. ## Using `avworkspace_*()` for workspaces `avworkspace()` is used to define or return the 'namespace' (billing project) and 'name' of the workspace on which operations are to act. `avworkspace_namespace()` and `avworkspace_name()` can be used to set individual elements of the workspace. `avworkspace_clone()` clones a workspace to a new location. The clone includes the 'DATA', 'NOTEBOOK', and 'WORKFLOWS' elements of the workspace. ## Using `drs_*()` for resolving DRS (Data Repository Service) URIs The Data Repository Service (DRS) is a GA4GH standard that separates a resource location (e.g., google bucket of a VCF file) from the URI that identifies the resource. A URI with the form `drs://...` is submitted to the Terra / AnVIL DRS, and translated to bucket (e.g., `gs://...`) or `https://...` URIs. One use case for DRS is when the location (e.g., google bucket) of the resouce moves. In this case the DRS identifier does not change, so no changes are needed to code or data resources that referenced the object. A second use case is when access to a resource is restricted. The DRS URI in conjunction with appropriate credentials can then be translated to a 'signed' https URL that encodes authentication information, allowing standard software like a web browser, or R commands like `download.file()` or `VariantAnnotation::readVcf()` to access the resource. A Terra [support article][DRS] provides more information, though not about DRS in R! [DRS]: https://support.terra.bio/hc/en-us/articles/360039330211 The following DRS URIs identify a 1000 Genomes VCF file and it's index ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} uri <- c( vcf = "drs://dg.ANV0/6f633518-f2de-4460-aaa4-a27ee6138ab5", tbi = "drs://dg.ANV0/4fb9e77f-c92a-4deb-ac90-db007dc633aa" ) ``` Information about the URIs can be discovered with `drs_stat()` ```{r, eval = FALSE} tbl <- drs_stat(uri) ## # A tibble: 2 × 9 ## drs fileName size gsUri accessUrl timeUpdated hashes bucket name ## ## 1 drs://d… NA21144… 7.06e9 gs:/… NA 2020-07-08… fc-56… CCDG… ## 2 drs://d… NA21144… 4.08e6 gs:/… NA 2020-07-08… fc-56… CCDG… ``` Column names indicate the information that is avaialable, e.g., the google object (`gsUri`) and size (`size`) of the object, and the object's file name (`fileName`) `drs_cp()` provides a convient way to translate DRS URIs to `gs://` URIs, and to copy files from their cloud location to the local disk or another bucket, e.g., ```{r, eval = FALSE} drs_cp(uri, "/tmp") # local temporary directory drs_cp(uri, avbucket()) # workspace bucket ``` `drs_access_url()` translates the DRS URI to a standard HTTPS URI, but with additional authentication information embedded. These HTTPS URIs are usually time-limited. They can be used like regular HTTPS URIs, e.g, ```{r, eval = FALSE} suppressPackageStartupMessages({ library(VariantAnnotation) }) https <- drs_access_url(uri) vcffile <- VcfFile(https[["vcf"]], https[["tbi"]]) scanVcfHeader(vcffile) ## class: VCFHeader ## samples(1): NA21144 ## meta(3): fileformat reference contig ## fixed(2): FILTER ALT ## info(16): BaseQRankSum ClippingRankSum ... ReadPosRankSum VariantType ## geno(11): GT AB ... PL SB variants <- readVcf(vcffile, param = GRanges("chr1:1-1000000")) nrow(variants) ## [1] 123077 ``` The buckets are both 'requester pays' (see `gsutil_requesterpays(uri)`), so these queries are billed to the current project. # For developers ## Set-up [install-gcloud-sdk]: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/install ## Service APIs AnVIL applications are exposed to the developer through RESTful API services. Each service is represented in _R_ as an object. The object is created by invoking a constructor, sometimes with arguments. We illustrate basic functionality with the `Terra()` service. Currently, APIs using the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) Version 2 (formerly known as Swagger) are supported. AnVIL makes use of the [rapiclient][] codebase to provide a unified representation of the API protocol. [rapiclient]: https://cran.r-project.org/package=rapiclient ### Construction {.unnumbered} Create an instance of the service. This consults a Swagger / OpenAPI schema corresponding to the service to create an object that knows about available endpoints. Terra / AnVIL project services usually have Swagger / OpenApi-generated documentation, e.g., for the [Terra service][]. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} terra <- Terra() ``` Printing the return object displays a brief summary of endpoints ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} terra ``` The schema for the service groups endpoints based on tag values, providing some level of organization when exploring the service. Tags display consists of endpoints (available as a tibble with `tags(terra)`). ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} terra %>% tags("Status") ``` ### Invoke endpoints {.unnumbered} Access an endpoint with `$`; without parentheses `()` this generates a brief documentation string (derived from the schema specification. Including parentheses (and necessary arguments) invokes the endpoint. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} terra$status terra$status() ``` Some arguments appear in the 'body' of a REST request. Provide these as a list specified with `.__body__ = list(...)`; use `args()` to discover whether arguments should be present in the body of the request. For instance, ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} args(terra$createBillingProjectFull) ``` shows that all arguments should be included in the `.__body__=` argument. A more complicated example is ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} args(terra$overwriteWorkspaceMethodConfig) ``` where the same argument name appears in both the URL and the body. Again, the specification of the body arguments should be in `.__body__ = list()`. As a convenience, arguments appearing _only_ in the body can also be specified in the `...` argument of the reqeust. `operations()` and `schemas()` return a named list of endpoints, and of argument and return value schemas. `operations(terra)$XXX()` can be used an alternative to direct invocation `terra$XXX()`. `schemas()` can be used to construct function arguments with complex structure. `empty_object()` is a convenience function to construct an 'empty' object (named list without content) required by some endpoints. ### Process responses {.unnumbered} Endpoints return objects of class `response`, defined in the [httr][] package ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} status <- terra$status() class(status) ``` Several convenience functions are available to help developers transform return values into representations that are more directly useful. `str()` is invoked for the side-effect of displaying the list-like structure of the response. Note that this is not the literal structure of the `response` object (use `utils::str(status)` for that), but rather the structure of the JSON response received from the service. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} str(status) ``` `as.list()` returns the JSON response as a list, and `flatten()` attempts to transform the list into a tibble. `flatten()` is effective when the response is in fact a JSON row-wise representation of tibble-like data. ```{r, eval = has_gcloud} lst <- status %>% as.list() lengths(lst) lengths(lst$systems) str(lst$systems) ``` ### Test endpoints {.unnumbered} Testing endpoints is challenging. Endpoints cannot be evaluated directly because they required credentialed access, and because remote calls involve considerable latency and sometimes bandwidth. Traditional 'mocks' are difficult to implement because of the auto-generated nature of endpoints from APIs. Simply checking for identical API YAML files (e.g., using md5sums) only indicates a change in the file without assessing whether the R code invoking the endpoint is the same (e.g., because arguments were added, removed, or renamed). The approach adopted here is to take a 'snapshot' of the current API. This is then compared to the updated API. Endpoints that are used in the code but that have been removed or have updated arguments are then manually checked for conformance to the updated API. Once endpoints are brought into line with the new API, the snapshot is updated to reflect the new API. Non-exported functions in the AnVIL package facilitate these steps. For instance, `AnVIL:::.api_test_write(Terra(), "Terra")` creates a snapshot of the current API. This is saved as `tests/testthat/api-Terra.rds`. The service is then updated (following the README of `inst/services/terra`) and the updated API compared to the original with `AnVIL::.api_test_check(Terra(), "Terra")`. The result is a list of functions that are common to both APIs, or added, removed, or updated (different arguments) in the new API. A static example is ``` > .api_test_check(Terra(), "Terra") |> lengths() common added removed updated common_in_use 135 24 3 11 9 removed_in_use updated_in_use 0 3 ``` with the `removed_in_use` and `updated_in_use` endpoints ``` > .api_test_check(Terra(), "Terra")[c("removed_in_use", "updated_in_use")] $removed_in_use character(0) $updated_in_use [1] "cloneWorkspace" "entityQuery" "flexibleImportEntities" ``` requiring manual inspection. Manual inspection means that each use in the AnVIL R package code is examined and updated to match the new API. Once the R code is aligned with the new API, `.api_test_write()` is re-run. The commit consists of the updated API files in `inst/services`, updated R code, and the updated snapshot. Unit tests (in `test_api.R`) are implemented to fail when the `removed_in_use` or `updated_in_use` fields are not zero-length. [httr]: https://cran.r-project.org/package=httr ## Service implementations The AnVIL package implements and has made extensive use of the following services: - _Terra_ (https://api.firecloud.org/; `Terra()`) provides access to terra account and workspace management, and is meant as the primary user-facing 'orchestration' API. [Terra service]: https://api.firecloud.org - _Leonardo_ (https://leonardo.dev.anvilproject.org/; `Leonardo()`) implements an interface to the AnVIL container deployment service, useful for management Jupyter notebook and RStudio sessions running in the AnVIL compute cloud. - _Rawls_ (https://rawls.dsde-prod.broadinstitute.org; `Rawls()`) implements functionality that often overlaps with (and is delegated to) the _Terra_ interface; the _Rawls_ interface implements lower-level functionality, and some operations (e.g., populating a DATA TABLE) are more difficult to accomplish with _Rawls_. The _Dockstore_ service (https://dockstore.org/swagger.json, `Dockstore()`) is available but has received limited testing. _Dockstore_ is used to run CWL- or WDL-based work flows, including workflows using _R_ / _Bioconductor_. See the separate vignette 'Dockstore and _Bioconductor_ for AnVIL' for initial documentation. ## Extending the `Service` class to implement your own RESTful interface The AnVIL package provides useful functionality for exposing other RESTful services represented in Swagger. To use this in other packages, - Add to the package DESCRIPTION file ``` Imports: AnVIL ``` - Arrange (e.g., via roxygen2 `@importFrom`, etc.) for the NAMESPACE file to contain ``` importFrom AnVIL, Service importMethodsFrom AnVIL, "$" # pehaps also `tags()`, etc importClassesFrom AnVIL, Service ``` - Implement your own class definition and constructor. Use `?Service` to provide guidance on argument specification. For instance, to re-implement the terra service. ```{r} .MyService <- setClass("MyService", contains = "Service") MyService <- function() { .MyService(Service( "myservice", host = "api.firecloud.org", api_url = "https://api.firecloud.org/api-docs.yaml", authenticate = FALSE )) } ``` Use `api_reference_url` and `api_reference_md5sum` of `Service()` as a mechanism to provide some confidence that the service created by the user at runtime is consistent with the service intended by the developer. # Support, bug reports, and source code availability For user support, please ask for help on the _Bioconductor_ [support site][].
