`chk` is an R package for developers to check user-supplied function arguments.
It is designed to be simple, customizable and fast.
## Demonstration
`chk` provides simple commonly used checks as (`chk_` functions) which can be combined together for more complex checking.
```{r, error = TRUE}
library(chk)
y <- "a"
chk_string(y)
chk_flag(y)
data <- data.frame(x = 1:2)
chk_range(nrow(data), c(3, 8))
```
Or used inside functions to test user-provided arguments.
```{r, error = TRUE}
my_fun <- function(x) {
chk_flag(x)
x
}
my_fun(TRUE)
my_fun(NA)
```
Error messages follow the [tidyverse style guide](https://style.tidyverse.org/errors.html) while the errors themselves are [rlang errors](https://rlang.r-lib.org/reference/abort.html) of class `chk_error`.
