checkDataTable: Check if an argument is a data table

Description

Check if an argument is a data table

Usage

checkDataTable(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL)
assertDataTable(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL, add = NULL, .var.name = NULL)
assert_data_table(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL, add = NULL, .var.name = NULL)
testDataTable(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL)
test_data_table(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL)
expect_data_table(x, key = NULL, index = NULL, types = character(0L),
  any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, min.rows = NULL,
  min.cols = NULL, nrows = NULL, ncols = NULL, row.names = NULL,
  col.names = NULL, info = NULL, label = NULL)

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

key

[character] Expected primary key(s) of the data table.

index

[character] Expected secondary key(s) of the data table.

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

any.missing

[logical(1)] Are missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.

all.missing

[logical(1)] Are matrices with only 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. Note that you can use checkSubs

col.names

[character(1)] Check for column names. Default is NULL (no check). See checkNamed for possible values. Note that you can use checkS

add

[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertions. See AssertCollection.

.var.name

[NULL || character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in error message. If NULL, the name will be heuristically determined via substitute.

info

[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.

label

[character(1)] Same as .var.name, but passed down to expect_that.

Value

• Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertDataTable/assert_data_table throws an error message, testDataTable/test_data_table returns FALSE, and checkDataTable returns a string with the error message. The function expect_data_table always returns an expectation.

Examples

library(data.table)
dt = as.data.table(iris)
setkeyv(dt, "Species")
setkeyv(dt, "Sepal.Length", physical = FALSE)
testDataTable(dt)
testDataTable(dt, key = "Species", index = "Sepal.Length", any.missing = FALSE)
