Assign values from a named list into an environment

Utility function based on `assignList()` from the package `tis` by Jeff Hallman (https://github.com/cran/tis/blob/master/R/assignList.R). Assigns the values in a list to variables in an environment. The variable names are taken from the names of the list, so all of the elements of the list must have non-blank names.

assign_list(a_list, pos = -1, envir = as.environment(pos), inherits = FALSE)

Arguments

a_list

pos

Position of the target environment on the search path.

envir

Environment in which to assign the objects.

inherits

Passed through to [base::assign()].

Value

Invisibly returns `NULL`.
