Prepare source data

Validate a data frame against a field_types() specification, and prepare for aggregation.

Usage

prepare_data(
  df,
  field_types,
  override_column_names = FALSE,
  na = c("", "NA", "NULL"),
  dataset_description = NULL,
  show_progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

df: A data frame
field_types: field_types() object specifying names and types of fields (columns) in the supplied df. See also field_types_available.
override_column_names: If FALSE, column names in the supplied df must match the names specified in field_types exactly. If TRUE, column names in the supplied df will be replaced with the names specified in field_types. The specification must therefore contain the columns in the correct order. Default = FALSE
na: vector containing strings that should be interpreted as missing values. Default = c("","NA","NULL"). Additional column-specific values can be specified in the field_types() object
dataset_description: Short description of the dataset being checked. This will appear on the report. If blank, the name of the data frame object will be used
show_progress: Print progress to console. Default = TRUE

Value

A daiquiri_source_data object
