Scalar type predicates

These predicates check for a given type and whether the vector is "scalar", that is, of length 1.

In addition to the length check, is_string() and is_bool() return FALSE if their input is missing. This is useful for type-checking arguments, when your function expects a single string or a single TRUE or FALSE.

is_scalar_list(x)

is_scalar_atomic(x)

is_scalar_vector(x)

is_scalar_integer(x)

is_scalar_double(x)

is_scalar_character(x, encoding = NULL)

is_scalar_logical(x)

is_scalar_raw(x)

is_string(x, string = NULL)

is_scalar_bytes(x)

is_bool(x)

Arguments

x	object to be tested.
encoding	Defunct as of rlang 0.4.0.
string	A string to compare to x. If a character vector, returns TRUE if at least one element is equal to x.
