R - How to test for character(0) in IF statement

Question

I imagine this is incredibly simple but I cant seem to find the answer.

I am writing an IF statement but the test is if the object returns a character(0)

Answer 1

Adding the obligatory tidyverse answer. The rlang package has the function is_empty(), which does exactly what you want.

Test <- character(0)
rlang::is_empty(Test)
#[1] TRUE

This also works for empty vectors that aren't characters. For example, it works in the case that Patrick Roocks describes in comments.

Test <- as.Date(character(0))
rlang::is_empty(Test)
#[1] TRUE

Loading the 'tidyverse' package also loads is_empty().
