best way to apply the same agent to multiple tables?

[Aariq]

If I have multiple data frames that all should have the same structure, but I don't necessarily want to combine them, is there a way to create an agent that is table agnostic and apply it to multiple tables? My current approach is to use imap() from the purrr package, but it doesn't seem to work with knitted RMarkdown documents.

library(pointblank)
library(tidyverse)

small_table %>%
  group_by(f) %>% 
  group_split() %>%
  set_names(c("high", "low", "mid")) %>% 
  imap(~{
    .x %>%
      create_agent(tbl_name = .y) %>% 
      col_exists(vars(date, date_time)) %>%
      col_vals_regex(
        vars(b),
        regex = "[0-9]-[a-z]{3}-[0-9]{3}"
      )  %>%
      interrogate()
  })

Maybe for this situation, the set_tbl() function might be useful? Check out https://rich-iannone.github.io/pointblank/reference/set_tbl.html for some examples.

This is what I was looking for. My one wish is that you could also manually change the tbl_name with set_tbl()

That's a really good idea and I didn't think of it! Would you be okay filing an issue for that? Otherwise I can do that.

Sure!
