cabinet-class: Cabinet class

In stefvanbuuren/minihealth: Mini Dossier for Individual Health Data

Description

A collection of objects of class individual can be stored into the class cabinet class. The cabinet object can be generated by the new("cabinet", ...) and as(data, "cabinet") functions. The result is essentially a list of individual objects with an index. Data of individual persons can be assessed by position by as list index `[[` or by unique id by the vector index `[`.
