clean_names: Create Syntatically Valid Names
In christian-million/researchR:

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

A wrapper for the make.names() function to make syntatically valid names using my preferred syntax.

1	clean_names(df)

`df`	Any object with a name, but I typically use them for data frames, hence "df".

Replaces spaces with underscore

Sets all letters to lower case

Injects an "x" before a syntatically invalid beginning (e.g. a number, or symbol)

Indicates duplicate names with a "_n", where n is the nth duplicate

Returns the object you fed it with changed names.

# Using a data.frame
df <- data.frame("Happy Boy" = c(1:10),
                "3BeeSoup    " = c(letters[1:10]),
                "Happy Boy" = c(10:1))

clean_names(df)

# Using a tibble
df2 <- dplyr::tibble(`Happy Boy` = c(1:10),
                      `3BeeSoup    ` = c(letters[1:10]))

clean_names(df2)
