These options will be used on objects of class 'factor'.
Usage
opts_factor(
constructor = c("factor", "as_factor", "new_factor", "next", "integer"),
...
)
Details
Depending on constructor
, we construct the object as follows:
"factor"
(default): Build the object usingfactor()
, levels won't be defined explicitly if they are in alphabetical order (locale dependent!)"as_factor"
: Build the object usingforcats::as_factor()
whenever possible, i.e. when levels are defined in order of appearance in the vector. Otherwise falls back to"factor"
constructor."new_factor"
: Build the object usingvctrs::new_factor()
. Levels are always defined explicitly."next"
: Use the constructor for the next supported class. Call.class2()
on the object to see in which order the methods will be tried."integer"
: We define as an integer vector and repair attributes.
