compare_df_cols_same

Do the the data.frames have the same columns & types?

Description

Check whether a set of data.frames are row-bindable. Calls compare_df_cols()and returns TRUE if there are no mis-matching rows. '

Usage

compare_df_cols_same(
  ...,
  bind_method = c("bind_rows", "rbind"),
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

`...`	A combination of data.frames, tibbles, and lists of data.frames/tibbles. The values may optionally be named arguments; if named, the output column will be the name; if not named, the output column will be the data.frame name (see examples section).
`bind_method`	What method of binding should be used to determine matches? With "bind_rows", columns missing from a data.frame would be considered a match (as in `dplyr::bind_rows()`; with "rbind", columns missing from a data.frame would be considered a mismatch (as in `base::rbind()`.
`verbose`	Print the mismatching columns if binding will fail.

Value

TRUE if row binding will succeed or FALSE if it will fail.

Examples

compare_df_cols_same(data.frame(A=1), data.frame(A=2))
compare_df_cols_same(data.frame(A=1), data.frame(B=2))
compare_df_cols_same(data.frame(A=1), data.frame(B=2), verbose=FALSE)
compare_df_cols_same(data.frame(A=1), data.frame(B=2), bind_method="rbind")
