In my below function, I was wondering if there is an rlang
alternative to eval()
?
library(rlang)
foo <- function(dat, ..., i){
dot_cols <- rlang::ensyms(...)[[1]]
subset(dat, eval(dot_cols) == i) # <--- what to use instead of eval()
}
foo(dat=mtcars, vs, i=0)
CodePudding user response:
One option is to convert the unquoted variadic column names to string, then use filter
with if_all
(or if_any
- depends on whether all the columns or any in a row should satisfy the condition)
foo <- function(dat, ..., i){
dot_cols <- purrr::map_chr(rlang::ensyms(...), rlang::as_string)
dat %>%
filter(if_all(all_of(dot_cols), ~ .x== i))
}
-testing
> foo(dat=mtcars, vs, am, i=0)

If there is only a single column,
foo <- function(dat, colnm, i){
dot_col <- rlang::ensym(colnm)
filter(dat, !!(dot_col) == i)
}
-testing
> foo(mtcars, vs, i = 0)

The above function can take either quoted or unquoted column name. If it is always unquoted, then can use {{}}
foo <- function(dat, colnm, i){
filter(dat, {{colnm}} == i)
}
foo(mtcars, vs, i = 0)
