Data Model Integrity — dm_integrity • kitems

Check the data model integrity.

Usage

dm_integrity(data.model, items, template = NULL)

Arguments

data.model: a mandatory data model.
items: a mandatory data.frame of the items.
template: an optional data.frame(name = c(...), type = c(...)) to be used to force attribute classes.

Value

if data.model matches with the items, TRUE will be returned. Otherwise an updated data model will be returned.

Details

In case an attribute of the items is missing from the data.model, it will be added with either a type matching the template one or a guessed one (using the class() function).

In case an extra attribute is found in the data.model as compared to the items, it will be dropped from the data model.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
feedback <- dm_integrity(mydatamodel, myitems)
if(!is.logical(feedback))
  mydatamodel <- feedback
} # }
