How can I set the name of the tibble I want to create as an argument to my function?
I want the function to be part of a package.
a <- dplyr::tibble(x = 1)
rename_object <- function(in_df, out_df) {
out_df <- in_df
}
rename_object(in_df = a, out_df = b)
library(tidyverse)
a <- dplyr::tibble(x = 1)
rename_object <- function(in_df, out_df,envir=.GlobalEnv) {
require(rlang)
# browser()
ie <-enquo(in_df)
oe <- enquo(out_df)
assign(x = as_name(oe),
value = in_df,
envir = envir)
remove(list = as_name(ie),envir =envir)
}
rename_object(in_df = a, out_df = b)
Thanks very much. I want to save out_df in data as part of a package eg instead of assign() my function contains something like
usethis::use_data(out_df, overwrite = TRUE, internal = FALSE )
How do I refer to out_df in use_data()?
Explanation: My package has a function which imports data for each year into a tibble. I want to include the year in the name of tibble. The package then uses other functions in the package to report on the data.
