incase 0.3.2.9000

• *_case() functions can now use lists as return values (#7).
• *_case() functions no longer perform automatic type conversion on non-atomic return values (#7).
• grep_case() and grep_case_fct() now support vectors in the left-hand side of arguments (#8).

incase 0.3.2 (2023-08-21)

• Accept named arguments with or without preceding dots, e.g. default or .default (#5).
• Take default into account when determining the class of output (#5).
• Fix bug where replacement would fail if a condition evaluated to a vector made up of both NAs and FALSEs with no TRUEs.
• Improve error messages (#5).
• No longer rely on deprecated plu functions (#4).

incase 0.3.1 (2021-06-06)

• Fixed bug where *_case() would return NULL if no conditions were TRUE.
• Added tibble to suggested packages.

incase 0.3.0 (2021-04-03)

New features

• Added *_case_fct() family of functions

  • These work the same as their *_case() equivalents, but return factors
  • Factor levels are determined by the order of case statements.
  • in_case_fct(x < 10 ~ "Low", x < 20 ~ "Medium", default = "High") returns a factor with levels "Low", "Medium", and "High".

• Added *_case_list() family

  • These work the same as their *_case() equivalents, but return lists
  • This allows the functions to return complex data types that would otherwise be broken by automatic type conversion.

• Implemented lazy-ish evaluation of outputs.

  • If the LHS of a formula is never true, the RHS is not evaluated.
    • However, the RHS is still evaluated for all inputs if any input is TRUE.
  • If condition in if_case() never takes one of the three logical values, the corresponding output is not evaluated.

Bug fixes

• if_case() no longer produces an error if condition is only NA.

incase 0.2.1 (2021-01-14)

• Fixed NOTE by removing unnecessary import of stats.
• Uses latest version of plu for more informative error messages.

incase 0.2.0 (2020-12-17)

• Added grep_case() which works similarly to switch_case() but uses pattern matching instead of exact matching.
• Added fn_case() which applies a function to the input and each formula's left-hand side to create the logical vectors used by in_case().
• Added fn_switch_case() which applies a function to the left-hand side of each formula to create the vectors used by switch_case().

incase 0.1.0 (2020-09-15)

• Initial CRAN release.
