assert_all_are_uk_postcodes: Is the string a valid UK postcode?

Description

Checks that the input contains UK postcodes.

Usage

assert_all_are_uk_postcodes(x, na_ignore = FALSE,
  severity = getOption("assertive.severity", "stop"))

assert_any_are_uk_postcodes(x, na_ignore = FALSE, severity = getOption("assertive.severity", "stop"))

is_uk_postcode(x)

Arguments

x

Input to check.

na_ignore

A logical value. If FALSE, NA values cause an error; otherwise they do not. Like na.rm in many stats package functions, except that the position of the failing values does not change.

severity

How severe should the consequences of the assertion be? Either "stop", "warning", "message", or "none".

Value

is_uk_postcode returns TRUE if the input string contains a valid UK postcode. The assert_* function returns nothing but throws an error when the is_* function returns FALSE.
