Helpers that can return a named vector

Source: R/named.R
named-base.Rd

Base R keeps names in various places, but drops them elsewhere These functions are some that I use frequently, like max, or unique

Usage

min_named(x, na.rm = FALSE, all_matches = FALSE)

max_named(x, na.rm = FALSE, all_matches = FALSE)

unique_named(x)

Arguments

x

A vector

na.rm

Should remove NA?

all_matches

If FALSE (default), will only return the first match, similar to which.min() / which.max() If TRUE, will return a named vector of all values corresponding to the max value.

Value

  • min/max_named(all_matches = FALSE), a named vector of length 1.

  • Otherwise, a named vector.

Examples

max_named(c("this guy" = 2, "that guy" = 3))
#> that guy 
#>        3 

unique_named(c("this guy" = 2, "that guy" = 3, "this guy" = 2))
#> this guy that guy 
#>        2        3 
# returns the same as base R for unnamed input
unique_named(c(1, 2, 3, 3))
#> [1] 1 2 3
# returns all values
min_named(c("x" = 1, "y" = 1, "ww" = 2), all_matches = FALSE)
#> x 
#> 1 

# TODO is usable with `extract_cell_value()`
