Save tibble or R object

hd_save_data() saves either a tibble as CSV, TSV, RDS, or XLSX, or an R object (for example a list) as RDS in a specified directory. If the directory does not exist, it will be created automatically before saving the file. The recommended file type for files that are going to be used in an R environment is RDS.

Usage

hd_save_data(dat, path_name)

Arguments

dat

The data to save.

path_name

The name of the file to be saved. Extension options are "csv", "tsv", "rds", or "xlsx". If the data is anything else than a dataframe or tibble, the file extension should be "rds".

Value

A message indicating if the file was saved successfully.

Examples

# Save a metadata dataframe as an RDS file
hd_save_data(example_metadata, "my_data/metadata.rds")
#> [1] "File saved as my_data/metadata.rds"

unlink("my_data", recursive = TRUE)  # Clean up the created directory
