type_convert_with_labels: Convert column types according to a col_spec

In torfason/zulutils: Miscellaneous utility functions that the author found useful

Convert column types according to a col_spec

Description

Custom wrapper around readr::type_convert() that suppresses warnings and copies labels, in order to (mostly) match the behavior of cb_apply_col_spec(). but without re-implementing a lot of functionality.

Usage

type_convert_with_labels(df, col_types = NULL, ...)

Arguments

df	The data.frame to process.
col_types	The col_spec to apply.
...	Other arguments to readr::type_convert().

Details

A known key difference compared cb_apply_col_spec() is that df is fully processed according to the col_types argument, meaning that other columns may be converted in addition to the factor columns.

Value

A data.frame based on d, with any factor columns specified in col_types converted to factor and any other columns processed according to the functionality of readr::type_convert()
