init_args

arguments to change once a subject is loaded

init_expr

expression to evaluate with subject loaded

keyword

what identifies the input element

update_level

update action code: see details.

Details

This function behaves differently in different contexts. By default, it returns the result of definition. When debugging modules ( "rave_module_debug"), it assigns a variable to the global environment with the variable name defined as input ID. In other contexts it parse the definition and returns a list for 'RAVE' to use internally to compile the module.

If update_level is `0` then the input is defined as manual inputs, which will not trigger re-calculate if changed. If `1` is set, then the input is a render's input, and only update render functions. If `2` is used, then once user change an input, then the whole module is re-calculated.

init_args must be argument names of the definition. Once subject is loaded, init_expr will be evaluated in a local environment, then variables in init_args will be used to update the input widgets.
