Convert column types according to a col_spec — type_convert_with

Custom wrapper around readr::type_convert() that suppresses warnings and copies labels, in order to (mostly) match the behavior of cb_apply_col_spec(). but without re-implementing a lot of functionality.

Usage

type_convert_with_labels(df, col_types = NULL, ...)

Arguments

df: The data.frame to process.
col_types: The col_spec to apply.
...: Other arguments to readr::type_convert().

Value

A data.frame based on d, with any factor columns specified in col_types converted to factor

and any other columns processed according to the functionality of readr::type_convert()

Details

A known key difference compared cb_apply_col_spec() is that df is fully processed according to the col_types argument, meaning that other columns may be converted in addition to the factor columns.
