Check for POSIXct Type

This function checks if the specified column in the provided dataframe has a POSIXct type. It uses the checkmate::assert_posixct function to perform the assertion.

check_posixct_type(column_name, dataframe, column_prefix = NULL, ...)

Arguments

A character vector or string with the column name to be tested.

dataframe

The dataframe that contains the column.

column_prefix

Default is NULL. If provided, this text is prepended to the variable name in the assertion message.

Examples

# Create a dataframe with a POSIXct column
dataframe <- data.frame(date = as.POSIXct("2023-10-04"))
# Check the POSIXct type of the 'date' column
check_posixct_type("date", dataframe)
