Checks if the input object is an idaifield_docs-list,
and if it is already unnested (i.e., of class idaifield_resources or
idaifield_simple). If the object is not unnested, the function unnests
it by stripping all top-level lists and returning only the list
called "resource" within the db docs. If the input
object cannot be processed because it is not an idaifield_docs or an
unnested idaifield_resources or idaifield_simple object,
the function issues a warning and returns the same object. You may force
the function to process it anyway using force = TRUE, but the outcome
is uncertain.
Arguments
- idaifield_docs
An object of class
idaifield_docsto be processed.- force
TRUE/FALSE. Should the function attempt to unnest the input object regardless of type or class? Default is FALSE.
Value
If already unnested, the same object as handed to it. If not, the same list with the top-level lists removed down to the "resource"-level.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
conn <- connect_idaifield(pwd = "hallo", project = "rtest")
idaifield_docs <- get_idaifield_docs(conn, raw = TRUE)
# Check if idaifield_docs is already unnested, and if not, do so:
idaifield_docs <- check_and_unnest(idaifield_docs)
}
