Set operations

These perform set operations on tracked dataframes. It merges the history of 2 (or more) dataframes and combines the rows (or columns). It calculates the total number of resulting rows as {.count.out} in other terms it performs exactly the same operation as the equivalent dplyr operation. See dplyr::bind_rows(), dplyr::bind_cols(), dplyr::intersect(), dplyr::union(), dplyr::setdiff(),dplyr::intersect(), or dplyr::union_all() for the underlying function details.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'trackr_df'
union(
  x,
  y,
  ...,
  .messages = "{.count.out} unique items in union",
  .headline = "Distinct union"
)

Arguments

x, y

Vectors to combine.

...

a collection of tracked data frames to combine

.messages

a set of glue specs. The glue code can use any global variable, or {.count.out}

.headline

a glue spec. The glue code can use any global variable, or {.count.out}

Value

the dplyr output with the history graph updated.
