rename_cols: Rename columns in a table

In karldw/kdw.junk: Miscellaneous Functions Karl Found Useful

Description

Rename columns in a table

Usage

rename_cols(.tbl, .vars, strict = TRUE)

Arguments

.tbl	Table to rename
.vars	A named character vector, where the names are the new column names and the values are existing column names.
strict	Should the function raise an error if existing column names can't be found? (Default TRUE)

Value

The same .tbl, with some renamed columns

Note that this function is the same as colnames()<- for in-memory data.frames, but also works for remote tbls. It's similar to pandas' .rename method.

Examples

cols_to_rename <- c(cyl2 = "cyl")
rename_cols(mtcars, cols_to_rename)
