Convert a Vector or List to a Single Dimension Tibble

• as_tibble_col() turns a vector or list to a single-column tibble.
• as_tibble_row() turns a vector or list to a single-row tibble.

as_tibble_col() converts a vector to a single-column tibble.

library(tibble)
# Create a named vector of fruit saless <- c(apples = 50, oranges = 30, bananas = 20, grapes = 40)
# turn the vector to a single-column tibbleas_tibble_col(s)

Output:
# A tibble: 4 × 1
  value
  <dbl>
1    50
2    30
3    20
4    40

Use argument column_name to specify the column name.

# rename column as 'sales'as_tibble_col(s, column_name = "sales")

Output:
# A tibble: 4 × 1
  sales
  <dbl>
1    50
2    30
3    20
4    40

Names of the vector elements (if any) are dropped from the tibble output. If you wish to reserve the names of the vector elements, use enframe() instead.

enframe(s, name = "fruit", value = "sales")

Output:
# A tibble: 4 × 2
  fruit   sales
  <chr>   <dbl>
1 apples     50
2 oranges    30
3 bananas    20
4 grapes     40

You can also use as_tibble_col() to convert a list to a one-column tibble, with the column being a list-column.

L <- list(  name = "John", age = 30, married = TRUE,   children = list(c("Alice", "Bob")))
as_tibble_col(L, column_name = "person")

Output:
# A tibble: 4 × 1
  person
  <named list>
1 <chr [1]>
2 <dbl [1]>
3 <lgl [1]>
4 <list [1]>  

You can use deframe() to turn the output back to list; that is, L is identical to as_tibble_col(L) %>% deframe().

Opposite to as_tibble_col(), the function as_tibble_row() turns a vector or list into a single-row tibble, using names of the elements as the column names, and values of the elements as values in the first row.

# convert a vector to one-row tibbleas_tibble_row(s)

Output:
# A tibble: 1 × 4
  apples oranges bananas grapes
   <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>  <dbl>
1     50      30      20     40

# convert a list to one-row tibbleas_tibble_row(L)

Output:
# A tibble: 1 × 4
  name    age married children
  <chr> <dbl> <lgl>   <list>
1 John     30 TRUE    <chr [2]>
