dssColNames: Get or set the column names of a dataframe

In IulianD/dsSwissKnifeClient: DataSHIELD Tools and Utilities - client side

Description

Unlike ds.colnames this function allows to set the names too

Usage

dssColNames(
  df,
  value = NULL,
  to.replace = NULL,
  async = TRUE,
  wait = TRUE,
  datasources = NULL
)

Arguments

df	a character, name of the dataframe
value	a vector containing the new column names (if null, the function simply returns the colnames)
to.replace	a vector containing the names of the columns to replace. It must have the same length as the value vector. If null, all column names will be replaced.
async	same as in datashield.assign
wait	same as in datashield.assign
datasources	same as in datashield.assign

Value

the column names of the dataframe

Examples

# open a local pseudo connection:
opals <- dssCreatePseudoServers(servers = 2, tie_first_to_GlobalEnv = 1)
# load the iris dataset
datashield.aggregate(opals[1], as.symbol('partialData("iris", 1, 70)'))
datashield.aggregate(opals[2], as.symbol('partialData("iris", 71, 150)'))
dssColNames('iris')
# set them to something else:
dssColNames('iris', value =  c('sl', 'sw', 'pl', 'pw', 'sp'))
#check again:
dssColNames('iris')
