collectArgs and iterateWithArgs

In collectArgs: Quickly and Neatly Collect Arguments from One Environment to Pass to Another

Overview

This package provides two simply functions to quickly collect all arguments inside one function and then either - iterate on one specific argument or - pass them all to another function.

Example

library(collectArgs)
library(magrittr)

sample_function <- function(x, base, thresh=500, verbose=TRUE) {
  some_object    <- is.na(x) ## an example of an object that we will exclude
  another_object <- 1:10     ## an example of an object that we will exclude

  if (length(x) > 1) {
    return(iterateWithArgs(x, FUNC=sample_function, except=c("some_object", "another_object")))
  }

  ret <- (base ^ x)

  if (verbose)
    cat(base, "^", x, " is ", ifelse(ret > thresh, "", "NOT "), "larger than ", thresh, "\n")

  return(ret)
}

sample_function(5, base=2)
sample_function(5:10, base=2)
