Title:	Check Arguments and Generate Readable Error Messages
Description:	Provides several validator functions for checking if arguments passed by users have valid types, lengths, etc. and for generating informative and well-formatted error messages in a consistent style. Also provides tools for users to create their own validator functions. The error message style used is adopted from <https://style.tidyverse.org/error-messages.html>.

Back Quote Object

Description

Convert an R object to character and add back quotations.

Usage

back_quote(x, recursive = TRUE, as_double = TRUE)
back_quote(x, recursive = TRUE, as_double = TRUE)

Arguments

`x`	An R object.
`recursive`	Optional. `TRUE` or `FALSE` which indicates if to back quote each item of `x` or to back quote `x` as a whole, when `x` is a vector. The default value is `TRUE`.
`as_double`	Optional. `TRUE` or `FALSE` which indicates if to differentiate between type double and integer. The default value is `TRUE`, which means integers are handled as doubles.

Value

A character vector.

Examples

back_quote(1:3)

back_quote(1:3, recursive = FALSE)

back_quote(1:3, as_double = FALSE)

back_quote(NULL)

back_quote(list(c, 1:3, "a"))
back_quote(1:3)

back_quote(1:3, recursive = FALSE)

back_quote(1:3, as_double = FALSE)

Check If Argument Is Single Positive Number

Description

Check if an argument is a single positive number, and if not, generate an error message.

Usage

check_positive(
  x,
  name = NULL,
  general = NULL,
  specific = NULL,
  supplement = NULL,
  zero = FALSE,
  ...
)
check_positive(
  x,
  name = NULL,
  general = NULL,
  specific = NULL,
  supplement = NULL,
  zero = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`x`	The argument to check, which can be any object.
`name`	A single character which gives the argument's name. The name is used in the error message. By default, the name of the argument passed to argument `x` is captured automatically.
`general`	Optional. A single character which is used to give a general statement of the error incurred. By default, this is generated automatically.
`specific`	Optional. A single character which gives a detailed description of the error. By default, this is generated automatically.
`supplement`	Optional. A (named) character vector which gives some additional information about the error. The names are used to create bullets, see `throw()`. By default, this is left empty.
`zero`	Optional. `TRUE` or `FALSE` which indicates if zero is acceptable. The default value is `FALSE`.
`...`	Optional. Additional arguments which can be retrieved with `tryCatch()`.

Value

returns an invisible NULL if the argument is valid, or generates an error message.
