InitializationObject
InitializationObject[sym,loc]
gives the persistent object where InitializationValue[sym,loc] is stored.
InitializationObject["context`name",loc]
gives the persistent object where the initialization value for the symbol with the specified complete name is stored.
Details and Options
- In InitializationObject[sym,loc], possible forms for the persistence location loc include:
-
PersistenceLocation["type"] "Local", "Cloud", "FrontEndSession", etc. locations "type" equivalent to PersistenceLocation["type"] PersistenceLocation["type","base"] location with a particular base (directory etc.) "type""base" equivalent to PersistenceLocation["type","base"] - Supported location types include:
-
"KernelSession" current invocation of the Wolfram Language kernel "FrontEndSession" current invocation of the Wolfram Notebook front end "Local" local to a computer, based on user home directory "LocalShared" local to a computer, based on $BaseDirectory "Cloud" in the cloud defined by the current $CloudBase "Installation" installation defaults

Applications (2)
Give a default value for a variable:
Set a custom merging function for initialization values of the variable:
Specify initialization values at different persistence locations:
The custom merging function is used to return the list of all values on $PersistencePath:
When the variable is initialized, the default merging function is also used:
Give a default value for an initialization value:
Set a a custom value preprocessing function that accepts only integers:
Assign an integer at any persistence location:
Assigning anything else generates an error, and the assignment is not performed:
Properties & Relations (1)
Create two initialization values for a symbol in different locations:
InitializationObjects gives all initialization objects found on $PersistencePath:
InitializationObject is used to access a specific object in a given persistence location:
It can be used to find properties of the given initialization object:
