in_range: Check variable range

Check variable range

Description

Test wether a variable falls within a range.

Usage

in_range(x, min, max, ...)

## Default S3 method:
in_range(x, min, max, strict = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'character'
in_range(x, min, max, strict = FALSE, format = "auto", ...)

Arguments

x	A bare (unquoted) variable name.
min	lower bound
max	upper bound
...	arguments passed to other methods
strict	[logical] Toggle between including the range boundaries (default) or not including them (when strict=TRUE).
format	[character] of NULL. If format=NULL the character vector is interpreted as is. And the whether a character lies within a character range is determined by the collation order set by the current locale. See the details of "<". If format is not NULL, it specifies how to interpret the character vector as a time period. It can take the value "auto" for automatic detection or a specification passed to strptime. Automatically detected periods are of the form year: "2020", yearMmonth: "2020M01", yearQquarter: "2020Q3", or year-Qquarter: "2020-Q3".

Examples

d <- data.frame(
   number = c(3,-2,6)
 , time   = as.Date(c("2018-02-01", "2018-03-01", "2018-04-01"))
 , period = c("2020Q1", "2021Q2", "2020Q3") 
)

rules <- validator(
   in_range(number, min=-2, max=7, strict=TRUE)
 , in_range(time,   min=as.Date("2017-01-01"), max=as.Date("2018-12-31"))
 , in_range(period, min="2020Q1", max="2020Q4")
)

result <- confront(d, rules)
values(result)
