forge

forge provides functions for input checking and casting. It is intended to be used by package developers, especially for interoperating with other runtimes, such as Python and JVM languages. It contains two families of functions, cast_* and certify(). The former casts a value to a specific type, while the latter ensures certain conditions are met.

Installation

You can install forge from CRAN with

install.packages("forge")

You can install the development version from GitHub with

devtools::install_github("rstudio/forge")

Examples

Here we demonstrate forge with a trivial function:

#' @import forge
fib <- function(n) {
  n <- cast_scalar_integer(n, return_id = TRUE) %>%
    certify(gte(0))
  
  if (n <= 2) {
    if( n >= 0) 1 else 0 
  } else {
    Recall(n - 1) + Recall(n - 2)
  }
}
fib(10)
#> [1] 55
fib(1.5)
#> Error: `n` cannot be casted to an integer vector.
fib(-2)
#> Error: Condition `gte(0)` not satisfied for `n`.

We can also provide arbitrary conditions to certify():

some_vec <- 1:5
certify(some_vec,  ~ any(.x < 2))
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
certify(some_vec, ~ mean(.x) > 2)
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
certify(some_vec, ~ all(.x <= 5), ~ mean(.x) > 3)
#> Error: Condition `~mean(.x) > 3` not satisfied for `some_vec`.
