Hi I am using labelled data in R with the haven and sjlabelled packages. I want to reference the variable's label when I graph it. It works if I directly reference the dataframe and the label (see get_label
function in the graph's title).
library(sjlabelled)
library(tidyverse)
data(efc)
efc %>% get_label(c12hour, c161sex)
#> c12hour
#> "average number of hours of care per week"
#> c161sex
#> "carer's gender"
efc %>% ggplot() + geom_col(aes(c161sex, c12hour)) +
labs(
title = paste(get_label(efc, c12hour), "by", get_label(efc, c161sex))
)
#> Warning: Removed 7 rows containing missing values (position_stack).
But I can't get it to work within a function. It's not recognizing my poor understanding of tidy eval.
foo <- function(df, var1, var2) {
{{df}} %>% ggplot() + geom_col(aes({{var1}}, {{var2}})) +
labs(
title = paste(get_label({{df}}, {{var2}}), "by", get_label({{df}}, {{var1}}))
)
}
efc %>% foo(c161sex, c12hour)
#> 1 variables were not found in the dataset: {
#> {
#> var2
#> }
#> }
#> 1 variables were not found in the dataset: {
#> {
#> var1
#> }
#> }
#> Warning: Removed 7 rows containing missing values (position_stack).
Please help!! I also wouldn't mind if someone has a workaround as long as I can put it in the function.
We may use ensym
here instead of {{}}
foo <- function(df, var1, var2) {
var1 <- rlang::ensym(var1)
var2 <- rlang::ensym(var2)
df %>% ggplot() + geom_col(aes(!!var1, !!var2)) +
labs(
title = paste(get_label(df[[var2]]), "by", get_label(df[[var1]]))
)
}
-testing
efc %>%
foo(c161sex, c12hour)
-output
