heterogeneous_recombinator: Process heterogeneous batch data.
In recombinator: Recombinate Nested Lists to Dataframes

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

This function turns a list of data obtained from the Avant API in heterogeneous format into a data.frame. Here, heterogeneous refers to a list of lists with each element being of possibly different size, but a complete named list of the data for that row.

1	heterogeneous_recombinator(dat, id = "id")

`dat`	list. The list of lists to process. Each row is a named list with the names being variable names and the values being respective variable values.
`id`	character. Primary key, by default `"id"`.

For example, list(list(variable_one = 1, variable_two = 'a'), list(variable_one = 2, variable_three = 1)) refers to a data set with three variables with two rows, the first variable having c(1,2), the second c('a', NA), and the third c(NA, 1).

If the list of lists is not formatted in this way, the function performs no error handling and will likely return a malformed data.frame.

the formatted data.frame

pre_dataframe <-
  list(list(variable_one = 1, variable_two = 'a'),
       list(variable_one = 2, variable_three = 1))
df <- heterogeneous_recombinator(pre_dataframe)
# 3 by 2 dataframe w/ c(1,2), c('a', NA), c(NA, 1) in the columns, respectively.
