Coerce an object to a data.table/tidytable

A tidytable object is simply a data.table with nice printing features.

Note that all tidytable functions automatically convert data.frames & data.tables to tidytables in the background. As such this function will rarely need to be used by the user.

as_tidytable(x, ..., .name_repair = "unique", .keep_rownames = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An R object

...

Additional arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

.name_repair

Treatment of duplicate names. See ?vctrs::vec_as_names for options/details.

.keep_rownames

Default is FALSE. If TRUE, adds the input object's names as a separate column named "rn". .keep_rownames = "id" names the column "id" instead.

Examples

df <- data.frame(x = -2:2, y = c(rep("a", 3), rep("b", 2)))

df %>%
  as_tidytable()
#> # A tidytable: 5 × 2
#>       x y    
#>   <int> <chr>
#> 1    -2 a    
#> 2    -1 a    
#> 3     0 a    
#> 4     1 b    
#> 5     2 b
