FromConfig adapters

There are two useful adapter types that can be used for more advanced use cases, such as generating configuration for data returned by an API. These are the FromConfigAdapter and FromConfigSequenceAdapter. They can be used as the adapter value for any track type.

FromConfigAdapter​

This adapter can be used to generate features directly from values stored in the configuration.

Example FromConfigAdapter:

{
  "type": "FromConfigAdapter",
  "features": [
    {
      "refName": "ctgA",
      "uniqueId": "alias1",
      "aliases": ["A", "contigA"]
    },
    {
      "refName": "ctgB",
      "uniqueId": "alias2",
      "aliases": ["B", "contigB"]
    }
  ]
}

FromConfigSequenceAdapter​

Similar behavior to FromConfigAdapter, with a specific emphasis on performance when the features are sequences.

Example FromConfigSequenceAdapter:

{
  "type": "FromConfigSequenceAdapter",
  "features": [
    {
      "refName": "SEQUENCE_1",
      "uniqueId": "firstId",
      "start": 0,
      "end": 33,
      "seq": "CCAAGATCTAAGATGTCAACACCTATCTGCTCA"
    },
    {
      "refName": "SEQUENCE_2",
      "uniqueId": "secondId",
      "start": 0,
      "end": 44,
      "seq": "CCGAACCACAGGCCTATGTTACCATTGGAAAGCTCACCTTCCCG"
    }
  ]
}
