Basic Examples (3) 

Specify a resource by its name and UUID and see if it is the same resource:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

See if a ResourceFunction is the same as its underlying ResourceObject:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

A custom resource is not the same as one from the repository, even with the same name:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Scope (2) 

Compare more than two resources:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Create a matching operator:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

Applications (4) 

After creating a resource function, the developer can end up with many saved copies:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Create a function to remove all but one of the deployments of a resource:

In[10]:=

Clean up all but the published resource:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Only the published version remains:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Properties and Relations (5) 

SameQ often fails for ResourceObject expressions because the metadata changes when content is downloaded. Get a new resource:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

The content is in the cloud:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

After retrieving the data, the resource metadata has changed:

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

SameQ gives False for the output ResourceObject compared with recreating the same object:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

SameResourceQ correctly matches the two:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=

Possible Issues (2) 

Resource names outside of an object are not supported:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=

Use objects instead:

In[20]:=

Out[20]=

In[21]:=

Out[21]=
