Make chi_pad() more strict

Hi guys!
Just because I've left PHS, it doesn't mean you're shot of me ๐ I'm still working with health data and still using phsmethods.
At the moment chi_pad()
adds a leading zero to any nine digit character string:
phsmethods::chi_pad(c("123456789", "abcdefghi", "23"))
#> [1] "0123456789" "0abcdefghi" "23"
I'd like to make it a little more strict, so that it only adds a leading zero to strings comprised of nine numeric digits:
chi_pad <- function(x) {
if (!inherits(x, "character")) {
stop("The input must be of character class")
}
# Add a leading zero to any string comprised of nine numeric digits
ifelse(stringr::str_detect(x, "^[0-9]{9}$"),
paste0("0", x),
x)
}
chi_pad(c("123456789", "abcdefghi", "23"))
#> [1] "0123456789" "abcdefghi" "23"
I can update the documentation and tests as well.
Thanks!
