get_useable_default_args {matsindf}

Create a usable list of default arguments to a function

Description

formals(FUN) does not handle arguments without a default well, returning a name vector of length 1, which when converted to character is "". This function detects that condition and replaces the no-default argument with the value of .no_default, by default NULL.

Usage

get_useable_default_args(FUN, which = c("values", "names"), no_default = NULL)

Arguments

FUN

A function from which values of default arguments are to be extracted.

which

Tells whether to get "names" of arguments or "values" of arguments. Default is "values".

no_default

The placeholder value for arguments with no default.

Value

A named list of default arguments to FUN. Names are the argument names. Values are the default argument values.

Examples

f <- function(a = 42, b) {
  return(a + b)
}
matsindf:::get_useable_default_args(f)
matsindf:::get_useable_default_args(f, no_default = logical())
