Read data from several files using tidyplate

# Read data from several files using `tidyplate`

Start by loading tidyplate:

    library(tidyplate)

Import multiple csv files into separate tibbles:

    file <- system.file("extdata",
                        "example_12_well.xlsx",
                        package = "tidyplate")
    csv_files <- list.files(path = file,
                            pattern = "*.csv",
                            full.names = TRUE)

    names <- tools::file_path_sans_ext(basename(csv_files))

    # Loop through the filenames and assign data
    for(i in seq_along(csv_files)) {
      assign(names[i], tidy_plate(csv_files[i]))
    }

Import multiple csv files as a list of tibbles:

    # Initialize an empty list to store tibbles for each file
    tb_csv_list <- list()

    # Loop through the filenames and assign data
    for(i in seq_along(csv_files)) {
      tb_csv_list[[i]] <- tidy_plate(csv_files[i])
    }

For multiple excel sheets in the same excel file:

    # as individual tibbles
    xl_file <- system.file("extdata",
                           "multisheet_example.xlsx",
                           package = "tidyplate")

    sheets <- readxl::excel_sheets(xl_file)

    for (sheet in sheets) {
      tb <- tidy_plate(xl_file, sheet = sheet)
      name <- paste0("tb_", sheet)
      assign(name, tb)
    }
    #> Plate type: 6-well
    #> Plate type: 12-well
    #> Plate type: 12-well

    # as elements of a list
    # Initialize an empty list to store tibbles for each sheet
    tb_xl_list <- list()

    for (sheet in sheets) {
      tb_xl_list[[sheet]] <- tidy_plate(xl_file, sheet = sheet)
    }
    #> Plate type: 6-well
    #> Plate type: 12-well
    #> Plate type: 12-well
