specify_int: Create a specified integer stabilizer function

In stbl: Stabilize Function Arguments

Create a specified integer stabilizer function

Description

specify_int() creates a function that will call stabilize_int() with the provided arguments. specify_int_scalar() creates a function that will call stabilize_int_scalar() with the provided arguments. specify_integer() is a synonym of specify_int(), and specify_integer_scalar() is a synonym of specify_int_scalar().

Usage

specify_int(
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_size = NULL,
  max_size = NULL,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL
)

specify_int_scalar(
  allow_null = FALSE,
  allow_zero_length = FALSE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL
)

specify_integer(
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_size = NULL,
  max_size = NULL,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL
)

specify_integer_scalar(
  allow_null = FALSE,
  allow_zero_length = FALSE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL
)

Arguments

allow_null	⁠(length-1 logical)⁠ Is NULL an acceptable value?
allow_na	⁠(length-1 logical)⁠ Are NA values ok?
coerce_character	⁠(length-1 logical)⁠ Should character vectors such as "1" and "2.0" be considered numeric-ish?
coerce_factor	⁠(length-1 logical)⁠ Should factors with values such as "1" and "2.0" be considered numeric-ish? Note that this package uses the character value from the factor, while as.integer() and as.double() use the integer index of the factor.
min_size	⁠(length-1 integer)⁠ The minimum size of the object. Object size will be tested using vctrs::vec_size().
max_size	⁠(length-1 integer)⁠ The maximum size of the object. Object size will be tested using vctrs::vec_size().
min_value	⁠(length-1 numeric)⁠ The lowest allowed value for x. If NULL (default) values are not checked.
max_value	⁠(length-1 numeric)⁠ The highest allowed value for x. If NULL (default) values are not checked.
allow_zero_length	⁠(length-1 logical)⁠ Are zero-length vectors acceptable?

Value

A function of class "stbl_specified_fn" that calls stabilize_int() or stabilize_int_scalar() with the provided arguments. The generated function will also accept ... for additional arguments to pass to stabilize_int() or stabilize_int_scalar(). You can copy/paste the body of the resulting function if you want to provide additional context or functionality.

Examples

stabilize_3_to_5 <- specify_int(min_value = 3, max_value = 5)
stabilize_3_to_5(c(3:5))
try(stabilize_3_to_5(c(1:6)))
