Constructive options for class 'xts'

Description

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

Usage

opts_xts(
  constructor = c("xts", "as.xts.matrix", "as.xts.data.frame", ".xts", "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:

• "xts" (default): We build the object using xts::xts(), the index is provided as a Date or POSIXct vector depending on its class.

• "as.xts.matrix": We build the object using xts::as.xts.matrix(), the index is provided through row names, which doesn't preserve its class and time zone.

• "as.xts.data.frame": We build the object using xts::as.xts.data.frame(), this is probably the most readable option but couldn't be made the default constructor because it requires the 'xts' package to be installed .

• ".xts": We build the object using xts::.xts().

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

Value

An object of class <constructive_options/constructive_options_xts>
