Description

does not warn on ambiguities nor if not found (but in the latter case, it returns ifnotfound)

Usage

util_find_var_by_meta(
  resp_vars,
  meta_data = "item_level",
  label_col = LABEL,
  allowed_sources = c(VAR_NAMES, label_col, LABEL, LONG_LABEL, "ORIGINAL_VAR_NAMES",
    "ORIGINAL_LABEL"),
  target = VAR_NAMES,
  ifnotfound = NA_character_
)

Arguments

resp_vars	variables to map from
meta_data	metadata
label_col	label-col to map from, if not allowed_sources should be entirely passed
allowed_sources	allowed names to map from (as metadata columns)
target	metadata attribute to map to
ifnotfound	list A list of values to be used if the item is not found: it will be coerced to a list if necessary.

Value

vector of mapped target names of resp_vars
