Neal Richardson updated ARROW-15102:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 9.0.0)
> [R] Allow creation of struct type with fields
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-15102
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15102
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 6.0.1
> Reporter: Will Jones
> Priority: Major
> Labels: beginner-friendly, good-first-issue
>
> StructTypes can be created with types:
> {code:R}
> struct(x = int32(), y = utf8())
> {code}
> But they cannot be created with fields yet. This means you cannot construct a
> StructType with a non-nullable field (since fields are nullable by default.)
> We should support constructing a StructType with fields, like we do for a
> Schema:
> {code:R}
> # Schema from fields
> schema(field("x", int32()), field(y, utf8(), nullable=FALSE))
> # Expected StructType from fields
> struct(field("x", int32()), field(y, utf8(), nullable=FALSE))
> {code}
