opts_col_spec: Constructive options for class 'col_spec'

In constructive: Display Idiomatic Code to Construct Most R Objects

Constructive options for class 'col_spec'

Description

These options will be used on objects of class 'col_spec'.

Usage

opts_col_spec(constructor = c("cols", "next", "list"), ...)

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:

• "cols" (default): We build the object using readr::cols(), or readr::cols_only() when the default collector is readr::col_skip(). The .default argument is omitted when it's readr::col_guess().

• "next" : Use the constructor for the next supported class. Call .class2() on the object to see in which order the methods will be tried. This will usually be equivalent to "list"

• "list" : We define as a list and repair attributes

Use opts_collector() to tweak the construction of the column specifications.

Value

An object of class <constructive_options/constructive_options_col_spec>
