State.get

State.get(key, default: Any = 'throw error if missing') → Any

Automated access to values stored in this state’s context.

This method takes advantage of ActivitySim’s machinery to provide or build missing context values automatically. If a value is already present in this state’s context it is returned, otherwise the set of defined methods for loadable objects and tables will be used to create values if possible.

Parameters:

keystr

The name of the variable to access.

defaultAny, optional

If the variable is not already in the state’s context, and cannot be otherwise created automatically, it will be set with this value, or else a KeyError is raised instead.

Returns:

Any
