tsl_names_clean function

Clean Time Series Names in a Time Series List

Combines utils_clean_names() and tsl_names_set() to help clean, abbreviate, capitalize, and add a suffix or a prefix to time series list names.

tsl_names_clean(
  tsl = NULL,
  lowercase = FALSE,
  separator = "_",
  capitalize_first = FALSE,
  capitalize_all = FALSE,
  length = NULL,
  suffix = NULL,
  prefix = NULL
)

Arguments

• tsl: (required, list) Time series list. Default: NULL
• lowercase: (optional, logical) If TRUE, all names are coerced to lowercase. Default: FALSE
• separator: (optional, character string) Separator when replacing spaces and dots. Also used to separate suffix and prefix from the main word. Default: "_".
• capitalize_first: (optional, logical) Indicates whether to capitalize the first letter of each name Default: FALSE.
• capitalize_all: (optional, logical) Indicates whether to capitalize all letters of each name Default: FALSE.
• length: (optional, integer) Minimum length of abbreviated names. Names are abbreviated via abbreviate(). Default: NULL.
• suffix: (optional, character string) Suffix for the clean names. Default: NULL.
• prefix: (optional, character string) Prefix for the clean names. Default: NULL.

Returns

time series list

Examples

#initialize time series list
tsl <- tsl_initialize(
  x = fagus_dynamics,
  name_column = "name",
  time_column = "time"
)

#original names
tsl_names_get(
  tsl = tsl
)

#abbreviate names
#---------------------------
tsl_clean <- tsl_names_clean(
  tsl = tsl,
  capitalize_first = TRUE,
  length = 4 #abbreviate to 4 characters
)

#new names
tsl_names_get(
  tsl = tsl_clean
)

#suffix and prefix
#---------------------------
tsl_clean <- tsl_names_clean(
  tsl = tsl,
  capitalize_all = TRUE,
  separator = "_",
  suffix = "fagus",
  prefix = "country"
)

#new names
tsl_names_get(
  tsl = tsl_clean
)
