[R-sig-Geo] Building a vector of random sf st_points

Hi,

Very new to spatial R. I'm trying to find the best way to build a sf dataframe of random points inside an extent. I built a matrix of random coordinates and now I try to convert this matrix to a vector of st_point.

I was expecting that something like:

PTS <- matrix(seq(1,6), 3, 2)
ptsdf <- apply(PTS, 1, st_point)

would work but it doesn't. Why?

Thanks,

Pierre
