Record

A record is an immutable map of fields to values (i.e., Map<String,?>). Each value can have its own type.

A record can be created using the record function:

sample = record(id: '1', fastq_1: file('1_1.fastq'), fastq_2: file('1_2.fastq'))

Record fields can be accessed as properties:

sample.id
// -> '1'

The following operations are supported for records:

+ : (Record, Record) -> Record

Given two records, returns a new record containing the fields and values of both records. When a field is present in both records, the value of the right-hand record takes precedence.

The following methods are available for a record:

subMap( keys: Iterable<String> ) -> Record

Returns a new record containing only the given fields.
