In s-fleck/tabde: Define and Check The Structure of Data Frames and Database Tables

tabde

tabde enables you to ensure and verify the correct column names and data types for data.frames that are imported/exported from/to databases, .csv files, fixed with text files, etc. The core piece of tabde are table_designs: data.frames that contain column names, data types, and optionally the corresponding SQL data types, fixed-with column positions, and a description of the column. Consequently these table_designs also double as documentation of the dataset.

Development status

tabde is under constant but slow development, as it is tied into some production workflows that I maintain. As of yet there is no roadmap for when it will be considered stable.

Installation

You can install tabde from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("s-fleck/tabde")
