format_date: Convert dates from 'yyyy-mm-dd' format into 20APR2019 format...

In autoslider.core: Slide Automation for Tables, Listings and Figures

Convert dates from 'yyyy-mm-dd' format into 20APR2019 format 'Datetime' format removes the time and outputs date in the same way Able to handle truncated dates as well (e.g. just the year or year and month)

Description

'dplyr::case_when()' will check all RHS expressions on the input, this means if these expressions return warnings, they will happen even then the input doesn't doesn't satisfy the LHS. For this reason, I had to 'quiet' all 'lubridate' functions. This 'format_date()' function was tested with the inputs in the examples, all gave the expected returned value, so there should be no issues.

Usage

format_date(x)

Arguments

x	vector of dates in character, in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format

Value

A vector.

Examples

# expected to return "2019"
format_date("2019")

# expected to return "20APR2019"
format_date("2019-04-20")

# expected to return ""
format_date("")

# expected to return "18JUN2019"
format_date("2019-06-18T10:32")

# expected to return "APR2019"
format_date("2019-04")
