access: SAND access and assignment functions

In arendsee/sandr: A framework for small data

Description

Functions for accessing elements of a SAND object, accessing and casting sand classes, and viewing documentation.

Usage

is.sand(x)

as.sand(x)

desc(x)

meta(x)

type(x)

desc(x) <- value

meta(x) <- value

type(x) <- value

field_info(x, field)

Arguments

x	anything
value	object on right side of assignment
field	a column name from the dataset

Details

as.sand is particularly noteworthy. Any data frame can be case as a sand object. Then it can be written into a SAND format data directory with the write_sand function. This will automatically generate default COLUMN.tsv and TYPE.tsv files. So this is the starting point for building a new SAND project.
