Check Dates for Sequentialness and Completeness

check_date_seq.Rd

Used to check vectors of dates mainly to ensure that weather data are complete. Invisibly returns a NULL value if no errors are found, else issues a warning() with an informative message providing the user with missing date values in the sequence and the optional location name if it's provided.

Usage

check_date_seq(x, y = NULL)

Arguments

x

A vector of dates.

y

A vector of values with location name, used for warning message.

Value

No return value, called for its side-effects, validates that dates are sequential and errors if they are not in order or some are missing.

Examples


# passes
x <- seq(as.Date("2021-01-01"), as.Date("2021-01-31"), by = "1 day")
y <- "BA"
check_date_seq(x = x, y = y)

# fails
x <- c(
  seq(as.Date("2021-01-01"), as.Date("2021-01-31"), by = "1 day"),
  seq(as.Date("2021-02-02"), as.Date("2021-02-28"), by = "1 day")
)
y <- "BA"
check_date_seq(x = x, y = y)
#> Warning: ✖ The vectors do not contain sequential dates.
#> ℹ 2021-02-01 is/are missing for location BA.
