resolve.factor: Resolve Guide for Factor

In yamlet: Versatile Curation of Table Metadata

Resolve Guide for Factor

Description

Resolves implicit usage of default key 'guide' to explicit usage for factor. Calls explicit_guide followed by classified. If option yamlet_with_title is not NULL, and if 'units' present, label and units will be concatenated by default to create a title attribute (but this is generally unexpected).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'factor'
resolve(x, ...)

Arguments

x	factor
...	passed to explicit_guide, classified, and make_title

Details

If decorating a factor with a guide, it is recommended to supply one that resolves to a codelist. An even safer practice is to convert the factor first to character, so that there are no factor levels to disagree with the (somewhat equivalent) codelist.

Value

classified
