blueprint 0.0.0.9002

• New concepts
  • strict atomic types
    • Strict atomic are R types considered to be atomic objects in the package: NULL, logical, integer, single (yes, single, see documentation of the package for more information), double, complex, character and raw vectors.
    • These are the fundamental building blocks of R.
• New classes
  • Atomic
    • A class to hold blueprints of strict atomic vectors. This is an important class packed with a lot of features. Just like strict atomic vectors are the building blocks of R, so is class Atomic for the package. All other blueprint's classes will reuse this class.
• New features
  • A new %bp% operator which can be used to construct blueprints in a concise way. We call it the Blueprinter.
  • New assertion functions: is_single(), is_strict_atomic(), is_named_vctr() and is_named_list(). These are very useful.
• Important changes
  • Significant changes to class Blueprint to ensure consistency with class Atomic.
  • Package now imports packages jsonlite and yaml for I/O.
• Other important changes
  • Hundreds of new unit tests. We now use a consistent test structure derived from testthat 3e edition.
  • New internal mechanisms / utility functions. They are more robust and better tested.
  • New options system for I/O with packages jsonlite and yaml.
  • New (experimental) Github workflows for future CI/CD pipeline.
