title: 'interfacer: Define and Enforce Contracts for Dataframes as Function Parameters'
version: 0.3.3
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.interfacer
abstract: A dataframe validation framework for package builders who use dataframes
  as function parameters. It performs checks on column names, coerces data-types,
  and checks grouping to make sure user inputs conform to a specification provided
  by the package author. It provides a mechanism for package authors to automatically
  document supported dataframe inputs and selectively dispatch to functions depending
  on the format of a dataframe much like S3 does for classes. It also contains some
  developer tools to make working with and documenting dataframe specifications easier.
  It helps package developers to improve their documentation and simplifies parameter
  validation where dataframes are used as function parameters.
