name-repair-superseded

Superseded functions for name repair

Description

tidy_names(), set_tidy_names(), and repair_names() were early efforts to facilitate post hoc name repair in tibble, given that tibble() and as_tibble() did not do this.

From tibble v2.0.0, the .name_repair argument gives direct access to three specific levels of name repair: minimal, unique, and universal. See vctrs::vec_as_names() for the implementation of the underlying logic.

Usage

tidy_names(name, syntactic = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

set_tidy_names(x, syntactic = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

repair_names(x, prefix = "V", sep = "")

Arguments

`name`	A `names` attribute, usually a character vector.
`syntactic`	Should names be made syntactically valid? If `FALSE`, uses same logic as `.name_repair = "unique"`. If `TRUE`, uses same logic as `.name_repair = "universal"`.
`quiet`	Whether to suppress messages about name repair.
`x`	A vector.
`prefix`	A string, the prefix to use for new column names.
`sep`	A string inserted between the column name and de-duplicating number.

Value

x with repaired names or a repaired version of name.

Life cycle

These functions are superseded. The repair_names() logic will also remain available in vctrs::vec_as_names_legacy().

tibble(..., `.name_repair = "unique"`)
## is preferred to
df <- tibble(...)
set_tidy_names(df, syntactic = FALSE)

tibble(..., `.name_repair = "universal"`)
## is preferred to
df <- tibble(...)
set_tidy_names(df, syntactic = TRUE)
