conditionz

control how many times conditions are thrown

Package API:

• handle_messages
• handle_conditions
• ConditionKeeper
• handle_warnings
• capture_message
• capture_warning

Use cases for conditionz functions:

• ConditionKeeper is what you want to use if you want to keep track of conditions inside a

function being applied many times, either in a for loop or lapply style fashion.

• handle_conditions/handle_messages/handle_warnings is what you want to use if the multiple

conditions are happening within a single function or code block

• capture_message/capture_warning are meant for capturing messages/warnings into a useable

list

Installation

The CRAN version:

install.packages("conditionz")

Or the development version:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropenscilabs/conditionz")

library("conditionz")

ConditionKeeper

ConditionKeeper is the internal R6 class that handles keeping track of conditions and lets us determine if conditions have been encountered, how many times, etc.

x <- ConditionKeeper$new(times = 4)
x
#> ConditionKeeper
#>  id: 6824b49c-be8f-4ba1-9acc-47115b6bccbb
#>  times: 4
#>  messages: 0
x$get_id()
#> [1] "6824b49c-be8f-4ba1-9acc-47115b6bccbb"
x$add("one")
x$add("two")
x
#> ConditionKeeper
#>  id: 6824b49c-be8f-4ba1-9acc-47115b6bccbb
#>  times: 4
#>  messages: 2
#>   one  two
x$thrown_already("one")
#> [1] TRUE
x$thrown_already("bears")
#> [1] FALSE
x$not_thrown_yet("bears")
#> [1] TRUE

x$add("two")
x$add("two")
x$add("two")
x$thrown_times("two")
#> [1] 4
x$thrown_enough("two")
#> [1] TRUE
x$thrown_enough("one")
#> [1] FALSE

basic usage

A simple function that throws messages

squared <- function(x) {
  stopifnot(is.numeric(x))
  y <- x^2
  if (y > 20) message("woops, > than 20! check your numbers")
  return(y)
}
foo <- function(x) {
  vapply(x, function(z) squared(z), numeric(1))
}
bar <- function(x, times = 1) {
  y <- ConditionKeeper$new(times = times)
  on.exit(y$purge())
  vapply(x, function(z) y$handle_conditions(squared(z)), numeric(1))
}

Running the function normally throws many messages

foo(1:10)
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#>  [1]   1   4   9  16  25  36  49  64  81 100

Using in ConditionKeeper allows you to control how many messages are thrown

bar(x = 1:10)
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#>  [1]   1   4   9  16  25  36  49  64  81 100

bar(1:10, times = 3)
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> 
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#> 
#> woops, > than 20! check your numbers
#>  [1]   1   4   9  16  25  36  49  64  81 100

benchmark

definitely need to work on performance

library(microbenchmark)
microbenchmark::microbenchmark(
  normal = suppressMessages(foo(1:10)),
  with_conditionz = suppressMessages(bar(1:10)),
  times = 100
)
#> Unit: microseconds
#>             expr      min        lq      mean   median        uq      max
#>           normal  857.006  874.4165  989.1222  900.992  943.1775 2796.801
#>  with_conditionz 1906.543 1947.7495 2078.4096 1998.475 2132.5750 2729.156
#>  neval
