clean_names_with_labels function

Cleans names of a dataframe while retaining old names as labels

clean_names_with_labels(
  df,
  except = NULL,
  .fun = getOption("crosstable_clean_names_fun")
)

Arguments

• df: a data.frame
• except: <tidy-select> columns that should not be renamed.
• .fun: the function used to clean the names. Default function is limited; if the cleaning is not good enough you could use janitor::make_clean_names()

Returns

A dataframe with clean names and label attributes

Examples

#options(crosstable_clean_names_fun=janitor::make_clean_names)
x = data.frame("name with space"=1, TwoWords=1, "total $ (2009)"=1, àccénts=1,
               check.names=FALSE)
cleaned = clean_names_with_labels(x, except=TwoWords)
cleaned %>% names()
cleaned %>% get_label()
