type_sum() gives a brief summary of object type. Objects that commonly
occur in a data frame should return a string with four or less characters.
For most inputs, the argument is forwarded to vctrs::vec_ptype_abbr().
obj_sum() also includes the size of the object if vctrs::vec_is()
is TRUE.
Usage
type_sum(x)
obj_sum(x)
Arguments
x
an object to summarise. Generally only methods of atomic vectors
and variants have been implemented.
Lifecycle
type_sum() is in the "questioning" stage, because vctrs::vec_ptype_abbr()
provides essentially the same functionality based on a robust framework.
The generic will remain available for a while.
Users and implementers are encouraged to consider vctrs::vec_ptype_abbr()
once it becomes stable.
