Checks if an argument is a numeric vector
Usage
assert_numeric_vector(
arg,
optional = FALSE,
arg_name = rlang::caller_arg(arg),
message = NULL,
class = "assert_numeric_vector",
call = parent.frame()
)
Arguments
- arg
A function argument to be checked
- optional
Is the checked argument optional? If set to
FALSE
andarg
isNULL
then an error is thrown- arg_name
string indicating the label/symbol of the object being checked.
- message
string passed to
cli::cli_abort(message)
. WhenNULL
, default messaging is used (see examples for default messages)."{arg_name}"
can be used in messaging.- class
Subclass of the condition.
- call
The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g.
call = caller_env()
. The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.You only need to supply
call
when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.Can also be
NULL
or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.
Value
The function throws an error if arg
is not a numeric vector.
Otherwise, the input is returned invisibly.
