What would be the proper way to define such methods? Eg, I want `set_label` to work like this: x <- set_label(x, "my label") and additionally, like this: set_label(x) <- "my label" How would I define the latter function? (this is how it is currently done by me) #' @export set_label <- function(x, lab, attr.string = NULL) { ... } #' @rdname set_label #' @export `set_label<-` <- function(x, attr.string = NULL, value) { UseMethod("set_label<-") } #' @rdname set_label #' @export `set_label<-.default` <- function(x, attr.string = NULL, value) { x <- set_label(x, value, attr.string) x } Am 23.10.2015 um 13:10 schrieb Hadley Wickham:
Here's a minimal reprex: out <- roc_proc_text(rd_roclet(), " #' Foo `foo<-` <- function(x, y, value) { UseMethod('set_labels<-') } #' Foo `foo<-.default` <- function(x, y, value) { x } ")[[2]] cat(format(out)) That generates \usage{ \method{foo}{default}(x, y) <- value }
