Change constructors to use explicit arguments

Summary

Updated constructor functions to accept explicit arguments instead of just ..., matching their corresponding make_* and sample_* function signatures. This improves IDE autocomplete and makes the API clearer.

Latest changes

Merged main branch - includes version bump to 2.2.1.9004 and modularity fix
Added check_dots_empty() to sample_growing() - ensures consistency with the constructor
All constructors now use named arguments for forwarding to constructor_spec():
- Example: constructor_spec(make_wheel, n = n, mode = mode, center = center) instead of constructor_spec(make_wheel, n, mode = mode, center = center)
- This makes the code more explicit and maintainable

Testing

✅ All tests pass: 7,418 passed, 2 skipped (unrelated), 0 failures
✅ devtools::check() passes: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 notes

<issue_description>Example: wheel() should accept n, ..., mode and center and pass on these arguments, just like make_wheel() . Apply this to all constructors.</issue_description>

Fixes Change constructors to use explicit arguments #2466

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.

Update constructor functions to accept explicit arguments instead of just `...`, matching their corresponding `make_*` and `sample_*` function signatures. This improves IDE autocomplete and makes the API clearer. Exceptions: - `directed_graph()` and `undirected_graph()` kept as `...` since they work with `make_()` where arguments can be passed in various orders - `tree()` and `from_literal()` kept as `...` with .lazy = TRUE due to their special lazy evaluation behavior Co-authored-by: krlmlr <1741643+krlmlr@users.noreply.github.com>

R/make.R

+  mode = c("in", "out", "mutual", "undirected"),
+  center = 1
+) {
+  constructor_spec(make_wheel, n, ..., mode = mode, center = center)


Suggested change

constructor_spec(make_wheel, n, ..., mode = mode, center = center)

check_dots_empty()

constructor_spec(make_wheel, n, mode = mode, center = center)

Applied in c246631. Added check_dots_empty() to wheel() and other constructors with ... parameter (growing, bipartite_gnm, bipartite_gnp).

- Add check_dots_empty() to constructors with ... parameter (wheel, growing, bipartite_gnm, bipartite_gnp) - Revert from_edgelist() and from_data_frame() to use ... for flexibility with graph_() - Fix documentation warnings by adding @inheritParams rlang::args_dots_empty - Remove @param ... from constructors that no longer have ... parameter - Update sample_() example to remove pattern that no longer works Co-authored-by: krlmlr <1741643+krlmlr@users.noreply.github.com>

@copilot: Apply feedback, fix errors seen with devtools::check() .

Fixed in c246631. All devtools::check() errors and warnings resolved:

Added check_dots_empty() to constructors with ...
Reverted from_edgelist() and from_data_frame() to use ... for graph_() compatibility
Fixed documentation warnings by adding @inheritParams rlang::args_dots_empty and removing incorrect @param ...
Updated sample_() example to remove incompatible pattern

Status: 0 errors ✔ | 0 warnings ✔ | 0 notes ✔

@copilot: Merge main, adhere to feedback. Always use named arguments for forwarding.

R/games.R

 #' @export
-growing <- function(...) constructor_spec(sample_growing, ...)
+growing <- function(n, m = 1, ..., directed = TRUE, citation = FALSE) {
+  check_dots_empty()


Add the check to the sampler as well.

Added in 269d1bb. Added check_dots_empty() to sample_growing().

@copilot: Merge main, adhere to feedback. Always use named arguments for forwarding.

Completed in 269d1bb:

Merged main branch (includes version bump and modularity fix)
Changed all constructor_spec calls to use named arguments
Added check_dots_empty() to sample_growing()

All 40+ constructors now explicitly name all forwarded arguments for clarity and maintainability.

@schochastics: Good to merge?

krlmlr · 2025-11-16T16:14:06Z

Do we even need to export the constructors? In #2500, there is a collision with circulant() exported from elsewhere.

LGTM

I assume we cannot simple remove them since they were available before? I might have to think more about it but I currently dont see where these could be more handy than the corresponding make functions?
