Examine the column specifications for a data frame

cols_condense() takes a spec object and condenses its definition by setting the default column type to the most frequent type and only listing columns with a different type.

spec() extracts the full column specification from a tibble created by readr.

cols_condense(x)

spec(x)

Arguments

x	The data frame object to extract from

Value

A col_spec object.

Examples

df <- vroom(vroom_example("mtcars.csv"))
#> Rows: 32 Columns: 12
#> ── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
#> Delimiter: ","
#> chr  (1): model
#> dbl (11): mpg, cyl, disp, hp, drat, wt, qsec, vs, am, gear, carb
#> 
#> ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
#> ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.
