Partial Argument Matching — matchArg • checkmate

This is an extensions to match.arg with support for AssertCollection. The behavior is very similar to match.arg, except that NULL is not a valid value for x.

Arguments

x: [character]
User provided argument to match.
choices: [character()]
Candidates to match x with.
several.ok: [logical(1)]
If TRUE, multiple matches are allowed, cf. match.arg.
.var.name: [character(1)]
Name of the checked object to print in error messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.
add: [AssertCollection]
Collection to store assertions. See AssertCollection.

Value

Subset of choices.

Examples

matchArg("k", choices = c("kendall", "pearson"))
#> [1] "kendall"
