Ensure a double argument meets expectations

Source: R/stabilize_dbl.R, R/to_dbl.R
stabilize_dbl.Rd

to_dbl() checks whether an argument can be coerced to double without losing information, returning it silently if so. Otherwise an informative error message is signaled.

stabilize_dbl() can check more details about the argument, but is slower than to_dbl().

stabilize_dbl_scalar() and to_dbl_scalar() are optimized to check for length-1 double vectors.

Usage

stabilize_dbl(
  x,
  ...,
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_size = NULL,
  max_size = NULL,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

stabilize_dbl_scalar(
  x,
  ...,
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_zero_length = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

to_dbl(
  x,
  ...,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

# S3 method for class '`NULL`'
to_dbl(x, ..., allow_null = TRUE, x_arg = caller_arg(x), call = caller_env())

# S3 method for class 'character'
to_dbl(
  x,
  ...,
  coerce_character = TRUE,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

# S3 method for class 'factor'
to_dbl(
  x,
  ...,
  coerce_factor = TRUE,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

to_dbl_scalar(
  x,
  ...,
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_zero_length = TRUE,
  x_arg = caller_arg(x),
  call = caller_env(),
  x_class = object_type(x)
)

Arguments

x

The argument to stabilize.

...

Arguments passed to methods.

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.

x_arg

(length-1 character) An argument name for x. The automatic value will work in most cases, or pass it through from higher-level functions to make error messages clearer in unexported functions.

call

(environment) The execution environment to mention as the source of error messages.

x_class

(length-1 character) The class name of x to use in error messages. Use this if you remove a special class from x before checking its coercion, but want the error message to match the original class.

allow_zero_length

(length-1 logical) Are zero-length vectors acceptable?

Value

The argument as a double.
