Source: R/insert_named.R, R/remove_named.R
insert_named.Rd

Insert elements from y into x by name, or remove elements from x by name. Works for vectors, lists, environments and data frames and data tables. Objects with reference semantic (environment() and data.table::data.table()) might be modified in-place.

Usage

insert_named(x, y)

# S3 method for `NULL`
insert_named(x, y)

# S3 method for default
insert_named(x, y)

# S3 method for environment
insert_named(x, y)

# S3 method for data.frame
insert_named(x, y)

# S3 method for data.table
insert_named(x, y)

remove_named(x, nn)

# S3 method for environment
remove_named(x, nn)

# S3 method for data.frame
remove_named(x, nn)

# S3 method for data.table
remove_named(x, nn)

y

(list())
List of elements to insert into x.

nn

(character())
Character vector of elements to remove.
