fmts: Formatting functions

In rstudio/gt: Easily Create Presentation-Ready Display Tables

Formatting functions

Description

All formatting functions in gt are quite consistent. All functions that start with the common ⁠fmt_*()⁠ prefix have the following points in common

Details

Let's use the exibble data for this.

Examples

gt_tbl <- gt(exibble)

#
# They all have `columns` and `rows` to specify target cells and default to
# styling all compatible cells.
#
# By default, they apply styling to all compatible columns.

# Will style all numeric columns
gt_tbl %>% fmt_number()

# will style the time column
gt_tbl %>% fmt_time(columns = time)

# Will style nothing since is only compatible with logical values
gt_tbl %>% fmt_tf()

#
# Their order has importance as the last styling will have priority.
#

# Will style all numeric columns as integer
# fmt_number() will have no effect
gt_tbl %>% fmt_number() %>% fmt_integer()

#
# Therefore, to apply different styling, it is important to specify columns or rows.
#

# Will style all numeric columns as number and as currency the currency column.
# fmt_number() will have no effect
gt_tbl %>% fmt_number() %>% fmt_integer(currency)
