Check If Argument Is Single Logical

Check if an argument is TRUE or FALSE, and if not, generate an error message.

check_bool(
  x,
  name = NULL,
  general = NULL,
  specific = NULL,
  supplement = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

The argument to check, which can be any object.

name

A single character which gives the argument's name. The name is used in the error message. By default, the name of the argument passed to argument x is captured automatically.

general

Optional. A single character which is used to give a general statement of the error incurred. By default, this is generated automatically.

specific

Optional. A single character which gives a detailed description of the error. By default, this is generated automatically.

supplement

Optional. A (named) character vector which gives some additional information about the error. The names are used to create bullets, see throw(). By default, this is left empty.

...

Optional. Additional arguments which can be retrieved with tryCatch().

Value

returns an invisible NULL if the argument is valid, or generates an error message.

Examples

x <- TRUE
check_bool(x)

if (FALSE) {
# `x` must have type logical
x <- 1
check_bool(x)

# `x` must have length 1
x <- c(TRUE, FALSE)
check_bool(x)

# `x` must not be `NA`
x <- NA
check_bool(x)
}
