Parse object field values given in list format

Description

Parse object field values given in list format

Usage

parse_dots_value(
  ...,
  .scalar = TRUE,
  .pair = FALSE,
  .ref_assign = TRUE,
  .unique = FALSE,
  .empty = FALSE,
  .env = parent.frame()
)

Arguments

`...`	Lists of object definitions. Each list should be named with a valid class/object id/name. ID should be denoted in style `..ID`. There is a special element `.comment` in each list, which will be used as new comments of the object. If `.ref_assign` is `TRUE`, `⁠:=⁠` can be used to group ids/names: When `.type` equals `"class"`, LHS multiple class indices/names should be wrapped by `.()`, `c()`. When `.type` equals `"object"`, LHS multiple object ids/names should be wrapped by `.()` or `c()`. LHS SINGLE class name should be wrapped by `..()`.
`.scalar`	If `TRUE`, make sure the value of each field in the object is a scalar value. If `FALSE`, `value_chr` and `value_num` column will be list type. Default: `TRUE`.
`.pair`	Only works when `.scalar` is `FALSE`. If `.pair` is `TRUE`, vector field values will be paired to each id/name on the LHS. In this case, `value_chr` and `value_num` will be character type and double type, respectively. When there is only one id/name on the LHS, it will be replicated to match the length of the value vector. Default: `FALSE`.
`.ref_assign`	If `TRUE`, allow using `⁠:=⁠` to gather multiple classes/objects on the LHS when defining the objects. Default: `TRUE`.
`.unique`	If `TRUE`, make sure there are no duplicated classes/objects in the input. Default: `FALSE`.
`.empty`	If `TRUE`, allow using an empty list, i.e. `list()` to define an object with all default values. Default: `TRUE`.
`.env`	An environment specifying the environment to evaluate the `...`. Default: `parent.frame()`.
