Constructive options for class 'S7_class_ref'

Description

These options will be used on objects of class 'S7_class_ref'. Since S7 0.2.2.9000 an S7 object stores its class in the "_S7_class" attribute through such a reference, which S7::new_class() creates and stores in the environment of the class.

Usage

opts_S7_class_ref(constructor = c("environment", "next"), ...)

Arguments

constructor	String. Name of the function used to construct the object.
...	Additional options used by user defined constructors through the opts object

Details

Depending on constructor, we construct the object as follows:

• "environment" (default): We build the class and fetch the reference from its environment.

• "next" : Use the constructor for the next supported class.

Value

An object of class <constructive_options/constructive_options_S7_class_ref>
