在`dplyr :: _ join`函数中使用`rlang`准引用

问题描述

我正在尝试编写一个自定义函数，在其中使用 rlang 的准引用.此函数还在内部使用 dplyr 的 join 函数.我在下面提供了一个最小的工作示例来说明我的问题.

I am trying to write a custom function where I use rlang's quasiquotation. This function also internally uses dplyr's join functions. I have provided below a minimal working example that illustrated my problem.

# needed libraries 
library(tidyverse)

# function definition
df_combiner <- function(data, x, group.by) {
  # check how many variables were entered for this grouping variable
  group.by <- as.list(rlang::quo_squash(rlang::enquo(group.by)))

  # based on number of arguments, select `group.by` in cases like `c(cyl)`,
  # the first list element after `quo_squash` will be `c` which we don't need,
  # but if we pass just `cyl`, there is no `c`, this will take care of that
  # issue
  group.by <-
    if (length(group.by) == 1) {
      group.by
    } else {
      group.by[-1]
    }

  # creating internal dataframe
  df <- dplyr::group_by(.data = data, !!!group.by, .drop = TRUE)

  # creating dataframes to be joined: one with tally, one with summary
  df_tally <- dplyr::tally(df)
  df_mean <- dplyr::summarise(df, mean = mean({{ x }}, na.rm = TRUE))

  # without specifying `by` argument, this works but prints a message I want to avoid
  print(dplyr::left_join(x = df_tally, y = df_mean))

  # joining by specifying `by` argument (my failed attempt)
  dplyr::left_join(x = df_tally, y = df_mean, by = !!!group.by)
}

# using the function
df_combiner(diamonds, carat, c(cut, clarity))

#> Joining, by = c("cut", "clarity")

#> # A tibble: 40 x 4
#> # Groups:   cut [5]
#>    cut   clarity     n  mean
#>    <ord> <ord>   <int> <dbl>
#>  1 Fair  I1        210 1.36 
#>  2 Fair  SI2       466 1.20 
#>  3 Fair  SI1       408 0.965
#>  4 Fair  VS2       261 0.885
#>  5 Fair  VS1       170 0.880
#>  6 Fair  VVS2       69 0.692
#>  7 Fair  VVS1       17 0.665
#>  8 Fair  IF          9 0.474
#>  9 Good  I1         96 1.20

#> # ... with 30 more rows

#> Error in !group.by: invalid argument type

从这里可以看出，我想避免显示#>消息.通过= c("cut"，"clarity")加入，因此明确地想为 _join 函数输入 by 参数，但是我不确定这该怎么做.(我尝试过 rlang :: as_string ， rlang :: quo_name 等).

As can be seen here, I want to avoid the message #> Joining, by = c("cut", "clarity") and so explicitly want to input the by argument for the _join function but I am not sure how to do this.(I've tried rlang::as_string, rlang::quo_name, etc.).

推荐答案

我们可以使用 as_string

dplyr::left_join(x = df_tally, y = df_mean,
            by = map_chr(group.by, rlang::as_string))

---

df_combiner <- function(data, x, group.by) {
  # check how many variables were entered for this grouping variable
  group.by <- as.list(rlang::quo_squash(rlang::enquo(group.by)))

  # based on number of arguments, select `group.by` in cases like `c(cyl)`,
  # the first list element after `quo_squash` will be `c` which we don't need,
  # but if we pass just `cyl`, there is no `c`, this will take care of that
  # issue
  group.by <-
    if (length(group.by) == 1) {
      group.by
    } else {
      group.by[-1]
    }

  # creating internal dataframe
  df <- dplyr::group_by(.data = data, !!!group.by, .drop = TRUE)

  # creating dataframes to be joined: one with tally, one with summary
  df_tally <- dplyr::tally(df)
  df_mean <- dplyr::summarise(df, mean = mean({{ x }}, na.rm = TRUE))

  # without specifying `by` argument, this works but prints a message I want to avoid
  #print(dplyr::left_join(x = df_tally, y = df_mean))

  # joining by specifying `by` argument (my failed attempt)
   dplyr::left_join(x = df_tally, y = df_mean, by = map_chr(group.by, rlang::as_string))

}

-检查

df_combiner(diamonds, carat, c(cut, clarity))
# A tibble: 40 x 4
# Groups:   cut [5]
#   cut   clarity     n  mean
#   <ord> <ord>   <int> <dbl>
# 1 Fair  I1        210 1.36 
# 2 Fair  SI2       466 1.20 
# 3 Fair  SI1       408 0.965
# 4 Fair  VS2       261 0.885
# 5 Fair  VS1       170 0.880
# 6 Fair  VVS2       69 0.692
# 7 Fair  VVS1       17 0.665
# 8 Fair  IF          9 0.474
# 9 Good  I1         96 1.20 
#10 Good  SI2      1081 1.04 
# … with 30 more rows
