Client-side search on a table tibble — table

Filter an already-fetched table tibble by regex. Complements get_tables(query = ...) which does server-side search. Use this for further refinement on cached results.

Usage

table_search(table_df, query, column = NULL)

Arguments

table_df: A tibble returned by get_tables().
query: Character vector of search terms (combined with OR).
column: Column names to search. NULL searches all character columns.

Value

A filtered tibble.

Examples

# \donttest{
scb <- px_api("scb", lang = "en")
if (px_available(scb)) {
  tables <- get_tables(scb, query = "population")

  # Further filter by regex
  tables |> table_search("municipality")
}# }
