ColTypeR {BeeBDC}

Sets up column names and types

Description

This function uses readr::cols_only() to assign a column name and the type of data (e.g., readr::col_character(), and readr::col_integer()). To see the default columns simply run ColTypeR(). This is intended for use with readr::read_csv(). Columns that are not present will NOT be included in the resulting tibble unless they are specified using ....

Usage

ColTypeR(...)

Arguments

...

Additional arguments. These can be specified in addition to the ones default to the function. For example:

• newCharacterColumn = readr::col_character(),

• newNumericColumn = readr::col_integer(),

• newLogicalColumn = readr::col_logical()

Value

Returns an object of class col_spec. See readr::as.col_spec() for additional context and explication.

Examples

  # You can simply return the below for default values
  library(dplyr)
BeeBDC::ColTypeR() 

  # To add new columns you can write
ColTypeR(newCharacterColumn = readr::col_character(), 
         newNumericColumn = readr::col_integer(), 
         newLogicalColumn = readr::col_logical()) 

# Try reading in one of the test datasets as an example:
beesFlagged %>% dplyr::as_tibble(col_types = BeeBDC::ColTypeR())
  # OR
beesRaw %>% dplyr::as_tibble(col_types = BeeBDC::ColTypeR())
