Provides details about an object

Usage

detail(x, ...)

# Default S3 method
detail(x, factor_n = 5L, ...)

# S3 method for class 'data.frame'
detail(x, factor_n = 5L, ...)

Arguments

x

An object

...

Additional arguments passed to methods

factor_n

An integer threshold for making factors; will convert any character vectors with factor_n or less unique values into a fact; setting as NA will ignore this

Examples

x <- sample(letters[1:4], 10, TRUE)
detail(x)
#>          class    type label  n na min_c max_c level level_n note comment

  x = x,
