Create a specified datetime stabilizer function

Source: R/specify_dttm.R
specify_dttm.Rd

specify_dttm() creates a function that will call stabilize_dttm() with the provided arguments. specify_dttm_scalar() creates a function that will call stabilize_dttm_scalar() with the provided arguments. specify_datetime() is a synonym of specify_dttm(), and specify_datetime_scalar() is a synonym of specify_dttm_scalar().

Usage

specify_dttm(
  tz = "UTC",
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  min_size = NULL,
  max_size = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  allowed_values = NULL
)

specify_dttm_scalar(
  tz = "UTC",
  allow_null = FALSE,
  allow_zero_length = FALSE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  allowed_values = NULL
)

specify_datetime(
  tz = "UTC",
  allow_null = TRUE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  min_size = NULL,
  max_size = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  allowed_values = NULL
)

specify_datetime_scalar(
  tz = "UTC",
  allow_null = FALSE,
  allow_zero_length = FALSE,
  allow_na = TRUE,
  min_value = NULL,
  max_value = NULL,
  allowed_values = NULL
)

Arguments

tz

(character(1)) The time zone to normalize x to. Must be "" or a value from OlsonNames(). Defaults to "UTC".

allow_null

(logical(1)) Is NULL an acceptable value?

allow_na

(logical(1)) Are NA values ok?

min_size

(integer(1)) The minimum size of the object. Object size will be tested using vctrs::vec_size().

max_size

(integer(1)) The maximum size of the object. Object size will be tested using vctrs::vec_size().

unique

(logical(1)) Should all elements in x be distinct?

min_value

(numeric(1)) The lowest allowed value for x. If NULL (default) values are not checked.

max_value

(numeric(1)) The highest allowed value for x. If NULL (default) values are not checked.

allowed_values

A vector of permitted values (coerced to the target type). NULL (default) skips the check. NA values in x are permitted independently of allowed_values, subject to allow_na.

allow_zero_length

(logical(1)) Are zero-length vectors acceptable?

Value

A function of class "stbl_specified_fn" that calls stabilize_dttm() or stabilize_dttm_scalar() with the provided arguments. The generated function will also accept ... for additional arguments to pass to stabilize_dttm() or stabilize_dttm_scalar(). You can copy/paste the body of the resulting function if you want to provide additional context or functionality.

Examples

stabilize_recent <- specify_dttm(min_value = "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z")
stabilize_recent("2024-01-01T00:00:00Z")
#> [1] "2024-01-01 UTC"
try(stabilize_recent("1999-12-31T00:00:00Z"))
#> Error in eval(expr, envir) : 
#>   `"1999-12-31T00:00:00Z"` must be >= 2000-01-01 UTC.
#> ✖ "1999-12-31 UTC" is too low.
