Set function parameters to an environment.

This function is designed to help debug functions. It will attempt to set all the default parameter values to the specified environment (global environment by default). This is useful for when you want to execute code within the function definition interactively but need the parameters set in the current environment.

Usage

ft_set_function_params(FUN, envir = globalenv(), verbose = interactive())

Arguments

FUN: the function to assign parameters to an environment.
envir: the environment to assign the variables to. Defaults to the global environment.
verbose: whether to return the data frame invisibly or to print the results.

Value

a data frame where row names correspond to the parameter name with two columns: set which is logical indicating if the variable was set and value with a character representation of the variable value.

Details

Warning: This function will modify the global environment and therefore violates CRAN policy "Packages should not modify the global environment (user’s workspace)" (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html#Source-packages).
