Rename 'skim_variable' to 'variable'? about skimr

[michaelquinn32]

Let me know if you need more help with how all of this works within an RMarkdown/ knitr document.

I'm assuming that the you want something different in the default output. If it's in a knitr rendered report, things might get a bit more complicated.

Unfortunately we've built skimr to need specific column names, so it wouldn't be that easy to provide this directly through the existing API.

That said, you can make version of the print function to do this for you.

I see, make a wrapper. And then I guess I have to take care of the HTML rendering for R Markdown myself. Makes sense, thanks!

Just for the record, your code:

rename_and_print <- function(partitioned_df) {
  partitioned_df %>%
    rename(variable = skim_variable) %>%
    print()
}

skimmed <- skim(iris)

summary(skimmed)

caught <- skimmed %>%
  partition() %>%
  map(rename_and_print)
