nest.dtplyr_step: Nest

In dtplyr: Data Table Back-End for 'dplyr'

Nest

Description

This is a method for the tidyr tidyr::nest() generic. It is translated using the non-nested variables in the by argument and .SD in the j argument.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dtplyr_step'
nest(.data, ..., .names_sep = NULL, .key = deprecated())

Arguments

.data	A data frame.
...	<tidy-select> Columns to nest, specified using name-variable pairs of the form new_col = c(col1, col2, col3). The right hand side can be any valid tidy select expression.
.names_sep	If NULL, the default, the inner names will come from the former outer names. If a string, the new inner names will use the outer names with names_sep automatically stripped. This makes names_sep roughly symmetric between nesting and unnesting.
.key	Not supported.
data	A lazy_dt().

Examples

if (require("tidyr", quietly = TRUE)) {
  dt <- lazy_dt(tibble(x = c(1, 2, 1), y = c("a", "a", "b")))
  dt %>% nest(data = y)

  dt %>% dplyr::group_by(x) %>% nest()
}
