In incase: Pipe-Friendly Vector Replacement with Case Statements

incase 0.3.2

• Accept named arguments with or without preceding dots, e.g. default or .default (#5).
• Take default into account when determining the class of output (#5).
• Fix bug where replacement would fail if a condition evaluated to a vector made up of both NAs and FALSEs with no TRUEs.
• Improve error messages (#5).
• No longer rely on deprecated plu functions (#4).

incase 0.3.1

• Fixed bug where *_case() would return NULL if no conditions were TRUE.
• Added tibble to suggested packages.

incase 0.3.0

New features

• Added *_case_fct() family of functions
• These work the same as their *_case() equivalents, but return factors
• Factor levels are determined by the order of case statements.

• in_case_fct(x < 10 ~ "Low", x < 20 ~ "Medium", default = "High") returns a factor with levels "Low", "Medium", and "High".

• Added *_case_list() family

• These work the same as their *_case() equivalents, but return lists

• This allows the functions to return complex data types that would otherwise be broken by automatic type conversion.

• Implemented lazy-ish evaluation of outputs.

• If the LHS of a formula is never true, the RHS is not evaluated.
  • However, the RHS is still evaluated for all inputs if any input is TRUE.
• If condition in if_case() never takes one of the three logical values, the corresponding output is not evaluated.

Bug fixes

• if_case() no longer produces an error if condition is only NA.

incase 0.2.1

• Fixed NOTE by removing unnecessary import of stats.
• Uses latest version of plu for more informative error messages.

incase 0.2.0

• Added grep_case() which works similarly to switch_case() but uses pattern matching instead of exact matching.
• Added fn_case() which applies a function to the input and each formula's left-hand side to create the logical vectors used by in_case().
• Added fn_switch_case() which applies a function to the left-hand side of each formula to create the vectors used by switch_case().

incase 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN release.
