Generate a Single Column by Inferred Type — generate_column_by

Produces a vector of length n with realistic simulated values based on the resolved column type. For columns that look like foreign keys (e.g. subjid, invid), values are sampled from existing parent domain data when available in context$data.

Usage

generate_column_by_type(col_name, col_spec = list(), n, context = list())

Arguments

col_name: Character. The column name.
col_spec: List. Spec metadata for the column.
n: Integer. Number of rows to generate.
context: List with element data (named list of data.frames already generated for earlier domains), and start_date/end_date (Date or character coercible to Date).

Value

A vector of length n.
