Check if an object can be safely coerced to character

Description

are_chr_ish() is a vectorized predicate function that checks whether each element of its input can be safely coerced to a character vector. are_character_ish() is a synonym of are_chr_ish().

is_chr_ish() is a scalar predicate function that checks if all elements of its input can be safely coerced to a character vector. is_character_ish() is a synonym of is_chr_ish().

Usage

are_chr_ish(x, ...)

is_chr_ish(x, ...)

are_character_ish(x, ...)

is_character_ish(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
are_chr_ish(x, ..., depth = 1)

Arguments

x	The object to check.
...	Arguments passed to methods.
depth	⁠(length-1 integer)⁠ Current recursion depth. Do not manually set this parameter.

Value

are_chr_ish() returns a logical vector with the same length as the input. is_chr_ish() returns a ⁠length-1 logical⁠ (TRUE or FALSE) for the entire vector.
