checkDataFrame: Check if an argument is a data frame

Description

Check if an argument is a data frame

Usage

checkDataFrame(x, types = character(0L), any.missing = TRUE,
  min.rows = NULL, min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL,
  row.names = NULL, col.names = NULL)

assertDataFrame(x, types = character(0L), any.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL, min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL, col.names = NULL, .var.name)

testDataFrame(x, types = character(0L), any.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL, min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL, col.names = NULL)

Arguments

x
[ANY] Object to check.
.var.name
[character(1)] Name for x. Defaults to a heuristic to determine the name using deparse and substitute.
any.missing
[logical(1)] Are missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.
min.rows
[integer(1)] Minimum number of rows.
min.cols
[integer(1)] Minimum number of columns.
nrows
[integer(1)] Exact number of rows.
ncols
[integer(1)] Exact number of columns.
row.names
[character(1)] Check for row names. Default is NULL (no check). See checkNamed for possible values.
col.names
[character(1)] Check for column names. Default is NULL (no check). See checkNamed for possible values.
types
[character] Character vector of class names. Each list element must inherit from at least one of the provided types. The types logical, integer, integerish, double, n

Value

  • Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, all functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertDataFrame throws an error message, testDataFrame returns FALSE and checkDataFrame returns a string with the error message.
