R: Converting vectors to data frames, and vice versa

enframe {tibble} | R Documentation

## Converting vectors to data frames, and vice versa

### Description

`enframe()` converts named atomic vectors or lists to one- or two-column data frames. For a list, the result will be a nested tibble with a column of type `list`. For unnamed vectors, the natural sequence is used as name column.

`deframe()` converts two-column data frames to a named vector or list, using the first column as name and the second column as value. If the input has only one column, an unnamed vector is returned.

### Usage

    enframe(x, name = "name", value = "value")

    deframe(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A vector (for `enframe()`) or a data frame with one or two columns (for `deframe()`).
`name, value` | Names of the columns that store the names and values. If `name` is `NULL`, a one-column tibble is returned; `value` cannot be `NULL`.

### Value

For `enframe()`, a tibble with two columns (if `name` is not `NULL`, the default) or one column (otherwise).

For `deframe()`, a vector (named or unnamed).

### Examples

    enframe(1:3)
    enframe(c(a = 5, b = 7))
    enframe(list(one = 1, two = 2:3, three = 4:6))
    deframe(enframe(3:1))
    deframe(tibble(a = 1:3))
    deframe(tibble(a = as.list(1:3)))
