dossier_create {madshapR}

Generate a dossier from a list of one or more datasets

Description

Generates a dossier object (list of one or more datasets).

Usage

dossier_create(dataset_list, data_dict_apply = FALSE)

Arguments

dataset_list

A list of data frame, each of them being dataset object.

data_dict_apply

Whether data dictionary(ies) should be applied to associated dataset(s), creating labelled dataset(s) with variable attributes. Any previous attributes will be preserved. FALSE by default.

Details

A dataset is a data table containing variables. A dataset object is a data frame and can be associated with a data dictionary. If no data dictionary is provided with a dataset, a minimum workable data dictionary will be generated as needed within relevant functions. Identifier variable(s) for indexing can be specified by the user. The id values must be non-missing and will be used in functions that require it. If no identifier variable is specified, indexing is handled automatically by the function.

Value

A list of data frame(s), containing input dataset(s).

Examples

{

# use madshapR_DEMO provided by the package
library(dplyr)

###### Example 1: datasets can be gathered into a dossier which is a list.
dossier <- dossier_create(
 dataset_list = list(
   dataset_MELBOURNE = madshapR_DEMO$dataset_MELBOURNE,
   dataset_PARIS = madshapR_DEMO$dataset_PARIS ))

glimpse(dossier)
    
###### Example 2: Any data frame can be gathered into a dossier
glimpse(dossier_create(list(iris, mtcars)))
