set_variable_labels: Apply labels to a data frame using a metacore object

In metatools: Enable the Use of 'metacore' to Help Create and Check Dataset

Apply labels to a data frame using a metacore object

Description

This function leverages metadata available in a metacore object to apply labels to a data frame.

Usage

set_variable_labels(data, metacore, dataset_name = deprecated())

Arguments

data	A dataframe or tibble upon which labels will be applied
metacore	metacore object that contains the specifications for the dataset of interest.
dataset_name	Optional string to specify the dataset that is being built. This is only needed if the metacore object provided hasn't already been subsetted. Note: Deprecated in version 0.2.0. The dataset_name argument will be removed in a future release. Please use metacore::select_dataset to subset the metacore object to obtain metadata for a single dataset.

Value

Dataframe with labels applied

Examples

mc <- metacore::spec_to_metacore(
        metacore::metacore_example("p21_mock.xlsx"),
        quiet=TRUE
        )
dm <- haven::read_xpt(metatools_example("dm.xpt"))
set_variable_labels(dm, mc, dataset_name = "DM")
