Coerce a field value to its declared type.

Light, non-destructive coercion used when building resource records. Enum fields are lower/normalized where the vocabulary is lowercase; unknown enum values are passed through unchanged (validation reports on them separately).

Usage

coerce_field(name, value)

Arguments

name

Field name.

value

The value to coerce.

Value

The coerced value.

Examples

coerce_field("new_or_reuse", "NEW")
#> [1] "new"
coerce_field("pmid", 12345)
#> [1] "12345"
