Standardize Column Names and Types in a Tibble — standardize

This function standardizes the column names and types in a given tibble. It renames the columns to a consistent set of names: "aphiaid", "scientific_name", "authority", and "status". If the tibble is not empty, it also ensures that the "scientific_name" column is of type character.

Usage

standardize_tibble(tibble)

Arguments

tibble: A tibble or data frame to standardize.

Value

A tibble with standardized column names and types, or NULL if the input tibble is empty.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Create a sample tibble
sample_data <- tibble::tibble(aphiaid = c(1, 2), sci_name = c("Species A", "Species B"), 
                              auth = c("Author A", "Author B"), stat = c("Valid", "Invalid"))

# Standardize the tibble
standardized_data <- standardize_tibble(sample_data)
print(standardized_data)
} # }
