Usage

prep_check_columns(
  data,
  required = character(),
  expected_types = character(),
  table_label = "table",
  stop_on_missing = TRUE
)

Arguments

data

Data frame to inspect.

required

Character vector of column names that must be present.

expected_types

table_label

Character. Label used in messages (e.g. "patient_KGMU").

stop_on_missing

Logical. Stop if required columns are absent (default TRUE).

Value
