Description
Add a mapping_spec
function that returns the automatic slot mapping for a conversion (similar to readr::spec()
). It would return a mapping_spec
object that is a list with a nice print output, something like:
Mapping spec for `AnnData` to `Seurat`:
x_mapping: "X"
layers_mapping:
counts: "counts"
lognorm: "lognorm"
object_metadata_mapping:
batch: batch
cell_type: "cell_type"
The main use would be to let users see what the default mapping is but it also be useful as a starting point for constructing a custom mapping. We could also add arguments to the conversion functions that accept the mapping_spec
(ignoring the other mapping arguments).
Possible usage examples:
# Create a `mapping_spec` object
mapping_spec(adata, as = "Seurat")
mapping_spec(seurat, as = "AnnData")
# Use `mapping_spec` instead of mapping arguments
adata$as_Seurat(mapping_spec = mapping_spec)
as_AnnData(sce, mapping_spec = mapping_spec)
