setNames: Set Names of an Object

In FastUtils: Fast, Readable Utility Functions

Set Names of an Object

Description

Improvement to stats::setNames() sets new names for an object, ensuring that the length of the new names matches the length of the object. Additionally, if the length of newNames is one, it is repeated to match the length of the object.

Usage

setNames(object, newNames)

Arguments

object	An object.
newNames	A character vector specifying the new names.

Value

The object with updated names.

Examples

# Set new names for a vector
x <- c(1, 2, 3)
x <- setNames(x, c("A", "B", "C"))

# some syntactic sugar can be achieved with a special mutator
`%setNames%` <- createMutator(setNames)
x %setNames% c("D", "E", "F")
