Usage

repr(x, ...)

Arguments

x

Object.

...

Additional arguments needed for computing the string.

Value

A string.

Examples

EMAIL <- new_class(class_name = "EMAIL")
email <- EMAIL$instantiate
register_method(EMAIL, ..init.. = function(address) self$address = address)

patrick <- email('patrick@test.com')
repr(patrick)
#> [1] "email(\"patrick@test.com\")"
