Valid metadata is a file with .yml extension. It has a top level item ..generic. This item contains git2rdata (the version number), hash (a hash on the metadata) and data_hash (a hash on the data file). The version number must be the current version.

Usage

is_git2rmeta(file, root = ".", message = c("none", "warning", "error"))

Arguments

file

the name of the git2rdata object. Git2rdata objects cannot have dots in their name. The name may include a relative path. file is a path relative to the root. Note that file must point to a location within root.

root

The root of a project. Can be a file path or a git-repository. Defaults to the current working directory (".").

message

a single value indicating the type of messages on top of the logical value. "none": no messages, "warning": issue a warning in case of an invalid metadata file. "error": an invalid metadata file results in an error. Defaults to "none".

Value

A logical value. TRUE in case of a valid metadata file. Otherwise FALSE.
