Join two data.tables together

semi_join.(x, y, by = NULL)

Arguments

x

A data.frame or data.table

y

A data.frame or data.table

by

A character vector of variables to join by. If NULL, the default, the join will do a natural join, using all variables with common names across the two tables.

Examples

df1 <- data.table(x = c("a", "a", "b", "c"), y = 1:4)
df2 <- data.table(x = c("a", "b"), z = 5:6)

df1 %>% left_join(df2)
#> # A tidytable: 4 × 3
#>   x         y     z
#>   <chr> <int> <int>
#> 1 a         1     5
#> 2 a         2     5
#> 3 b         3     6
#> 4 c         4    NA
df1 %>% inner_join(df2)

#>   <chr> <int> <int>
#> 1 a         1     5
#> 2 a         2     5
