Validate MicrobiomeR Format

This function validates that Taxmap objects are in a valid format MicrobiomeR format.

validate_MicrobiomeR_format(
  obj,
  validated = FALSE,
  valid_formats,
  force_format = FALSE,
  min_or_max = base::max,
  ...
)

Arguments

obj: A Taxmap object.
validated: This parameter provides a way to override validation steps. Use carefully. Default: FALSE
valid_formats: A vector of formats that are used for validation.
force_format: A logical denoting if the selected format is to be forced. Default: FALSE
min_or_max: A base function (min or max) that determines which format is to be forced. This is particularly useful if you provide multiple valid_formats. Min will choose the lowest level format, while max will choose the highest level format. Default: base::max
...: An optional list of parameters to use in as_MicrobiomeR_format.

If the object is validated, a Taxmap object.

This function can provide a way to check if a taxmap object has undergone a MicrobiomeR Style Workflow.
