The lib_add function adds a data frame
or tibble to an existing data library. The function will both add the data
to the library list, and immediately write the data to the library
directory location. The data will be written to disk
in the file format associated with the library engine.
If the library is loaded, the function will also
add the data to the workspace environment.
lib_add(x, ..., name = NULL)The library to add data to.
The data frame(s) to add to the library. If more than one, separate with commas.
The reference name to use for the data. By default, the name will be the variable name. To assign a name different from the variable name, assign a quoted name to this parameter. If more than one data set is being appended, assign a vector of quoted names.
