EpilogFunction

EpilogFunction

is an option for DocumentGenerator allowing arbitrary code to be executed after a document is generated.

Details

  • EpilogFunction may be a pure function, notebook, CloudObject, or File. If qualified as Delayed, the resource will be used in place and no copy will be maintained in the generator bundle.
  • Functions will be passed the file name of the generated document. All types of epilog functions have access to the generated document through the variable $CurrentFile.
  • In case of template application failure, the epilog function will not execute.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Deploy a generator:

Wolfram Language code: co = CloudDeploy[ DocumentGenerator[File["ExampleData/BasicTemplate.nb"], <|"author" :> $WolframID|>, None, EpilogFunction :> (CloudPut[{Now, $WolframID, $EvaluationCloudObject, FileByteCount[#]}, CloudObject["epilog/last-runner"]]&) ], CloudObject["epilog-function-example"] ]

Trigger the generator to run synchronously:

Wolfram Language code: TaskExecute[co]

Examine contents of the cloud object generated by the epilog function:

Wolfram Language code: CloudGet[CloudObject["epilog/last-runner"]]

Delete the generator:

Wolfram Language code: TaskRemove[co]
