\usage{
add_custom_antimicrobials(x)
clear_custom_antimicrobials()
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a \link{data.frame} resembling the \link{antibiotics} data set, at least containing columns "ab" and "name"}
}
\description{
With \code{\link[=add_custom_antimicrobials]{add_custom_antimicrobials()}} you can add your own custom antimicrobial drug names and codes.
}
\details{
\strong{Important:} Due to how \R works, the \code{\link[=add_custom_antimicrobials]{add_custom_antimicrobials()}} function has to be run in every \R session - added antimicrobials are not stored between sessions and are thus lost when \R is exited.
There are two ways to circumvent this and automate the process of adding antimicrobials:
\strong{Method 1:} Using the \link[=AMR-options]{package option} \code{\link[=AMR-options]{AMR_custom_ab}}, which is the preferred method. To use this method:
\enumerate{
\item Create a data set in the structure of the \link{antibiotics} data set (containing at the very least columns "ab" and "name") and save it with \code{\link[=saveRDS]{saveRDS()}} to a location of choice, e.g. \code{"~/my_custom_ab.rds"}, or any remote location.
\item Set the file location to the \link[=AMR-options]{package option} \code{\link[=AMR-options]{AMR_custom_ab}}: \code{options(AMR_custom_ab = "~/my_custom_ab.rds")}. This can even be a remote file location, such as an https URL. Since options are not saved between \R sessions, it is best to save this option to the \code{.Rprofile} file so that it will be loaded on start-up of \R. To do this, open the \code{.Rprofile} file using e.g. \code{utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")}, add this text and save the file:
\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode r">}}\preformatted{# Add custom antimicrobial codes:
options(AMR_custom_ab = "~/my_custom_ab.rds")
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}
Upon package load, this file will be loaded and run through the \code{\link[=add_custom_antimicrobials]{add_custom_antimicrobials()}} function.
}
\strong{Method 2:} Loading the antimicrobial additions directly from your \code{.Rprofile} file. Note that the definitions will be stored in a user-specific \R file, which is a suboptimal workflow. To use this method:
\enumerate{
\item Edit the \code{.Rprofile} file using e.g. \code{utils::file.edit("~/.Rprofile")}.
\item Add a text like below and save the file:
\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode r">}}\preformatted{ # Add custom antibiotic drug codes:
AMR::add_custom_antimicrobials(
data.frame(ab = "TESTAB",
name = "Test Antibiotic",
group = "Test Group")
)
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}
}
Use \code{\link[=clear_custom_antimicrobials]{clear_custom_antimicrobials()}} to clear the previously added antimicrobials.
