)

Function addRowWithName()

This function does no more than adding a row to a data frame with rbind and giving it a name:

x <- data.frame(value = 10:11)

new_row <- data.frame(value = sum(x$value))

kwb.utils::addRowWithName(x, new_row, row.name = "total")

Function addSuffixToColumns()

This function adds a postfix to the column names of a data frame. This may be useful when column-binding data frames. The function can be used to indicate the origin of each column by giving it a suffix related to the data frame that it originates from.

# Define a first data frame
data_frame_1 <- data.frame(
  id = 1:2, 
  first = c("Peter", "Mary"), 
  last = c("Miller", "Smith")
)

# Define a second data frame
data_frame_2 <- data.frame(
  height_cm = c(181, 171),
  weigth_kg = c(68, 59)
)

# Column-bind the data frames, after giving their columns a unique suffix
cbind(
  kwb.utils::addSuffixToColumns(data_frame_1, "_1"),
  kwb.utils::addSuffixToColumns(data_frame_2, "_2")
)

Function asNoFactorDataFrame

This function is a shortcut to as.data.frame(..., stringsAsFactors = FALSE). Using this function may slightly improve the readability of a script (as the number of arguments passed to the function is reduced):

m <- matrix(letters[1:6], nrow = 2)

result_1 <- kwb.utils::asNoFactorDataFrame(m)
result_2 <- as.data.frame(m, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

identical(result_1, result_2)
