Polars

clean_names

clean_names implementation for polars.

clean_names(df, strip_underscores=None, case_type='lower', remove_special=False, strip_accents=False, truncate_limit=None)

Clean the column names in a polars DataFrame.

clean_names can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

Examples:

>>> import polars as pl
>>> import janitor.polars
>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "Aloha": range(3),
...         "Bell Chart": range(3),
...         "Animals@#$%^": range(3)
...     }
... )
>>> df
shape: (3, 3)

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
strip_underscores str | bool

Removes the outer underscores from all column names. Default None keeps outer underscores. Values can be either 'left', 'right' or 'both' or the respective shorthand 'l', 'r' and True.

 None
case_type str

Whether to make the column names lower or uppercase. Current case may be preserved with 'preserve', while snake case conversion (from CamelCase or camelCase only) can be turned on using "snake". Default 'lower' makes all characters lowercase.

 'lower'
remove_special bool

Remove special characters from the column names. Only letters, numbers and underscores are preserved.

 False
strip_accents bool

Whether or not to remove accents from the labels.

 False
truncate_limit int

Truncates formatted column names to the specified length. Default None does not truncate.

 None

Returns:

Type Description

complete

complete implementation for polars.

complete(df, *columns, fill_value=None, explicit=True, sort=False, by=None)

Turns implicit missing values into explicit missing values

It is modeled after tidyr's complete function. In a way, it is the inverse of pl.drop_nulls, as it exposes implicitly missing rows.

If new values need to be introduced, a polars Expression or a polars Series with the new values can be passed, as long as the polars Expression/Series has a name that already exists in the DataFrame.

complete can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

Examples:

>>> import polars as pl

New in version 0.28.0

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
*columns ColumnNameOrSelector

This refers to the columns to be completed. It can be a string or a column selector or a polars expression. A polars expression can be used to introduced new values, as long as the polars expression has a name that already exists in the DataFrame.

 ()
fill_value dict | Any | Expr

Scalar value or polars expression to use instead of nulls for missing combinations. A dictionary, mapping columns names to a scalar value is also accepted.

 None
explicit bool

Determines if only implicitly missing values should be filled (False), or all nulls existing in the LazyFrame (True). explicit is applicable only if fill_value is not None.

 True
sort bool

Sort the DataFrame based on *columns.

 False
by ColumnNameOrSelector

Column(s) to group by. The explicit missing rows are returned per group.

 None

Returns:

Type Description
DataFrame | LazyFrame

A polars DataFrame/LazyFrame.

    Turns implicit missing values into explicit missing values

    It is modeled after tidyr's `complete` function.
    In a way, it is the inverse of `pl.drop_nulls`,
    as it exposes implicitly missing rows.

    If new values need to be introduced, a polars Expression
    or a polars Series with the new values can be passed,
    as long as the polars Expression/Series
    has a name that already exists in the DataFrame.

    `complete` can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

    Examples:
        >>> import polars as pl
        >>> import janitor.polars
        >>> df = pl.DataFrame(
        ...     dict(
        ...         group=(1, 2, 1, 2),
        ...         item_id=(1, 2, 2, 3),
        ...         item_name=("a", "a", "b", "b"),
        ...         value1=(1, None, 3, 4),
        ...         value2=range(4, 8),

    !!! info "New in version 0.28.0"

    Args:
        *columns: This refers to the columns to be completed.
            It can be a string or a column selector or a polars expression.
            A polars expression can be used to introduced new values,
            as long as the polars expression has a name that already exists
            in the DataFrame.
        fill_value: Scalar value or polars expression to use instead of nulls
            for missing combinations. A dictionary, mapping columns names
            to a scalar value is also accepted.
        explicit: Determines if only implicitly missing values
            should be filled (`False`), or all nulls existing in the LazyFrame
            (`True`). `explicit` is applicable only
            if `fill_value` is not `None`.
        sort: Sort the DataFrame based on *columns.
        by: Column(s) to group by.
            The explicit missing rows are returned per group.

    Returns:
        A polars DataFrame/LazyFrame.
    """  # noqa: E501
    if not columns:
        return df
    return _complete(
        df=df,
        columns=columns,
        fill_value=fill_value,
        explicit=explicit,
        sort=sort,
        by=by,
    )

expand(df, *columns, sort=False, by=None)

Creates a DataFrame from a cartesian combination of all inputs.

Inspiration is from tidyr's expand() function.

expand() is often useful with pl.DataFrame.join to convert implicit missing values to explicit missing values - similar to complete.

It can also be used to figure out which combinations are missing (e.g identify gaps in your DataFrame).

The variable columns parameter can be a string, a ColumnSelector, a polars expression, or a polars Series.

expand can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

Examples:

>>> import polars as pl

def expand(
    df: pl.DataFrame | pl.LazyFrame,
    *columns: ColumnNameOrSelector,
    sort: bool = False,
    by: ColumnNameOrSelector = None,
) -> pl.DataFrame | pl.LazyFrame:
    """
    Creates a DataFrame from a cartesian combination of all inputs.

    Inspiration is from tidyr's expand() function.

    expand() is often useful with
    [pl.DataFrame.join](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/dataframe/api/polars.DataFrame.join.html)
    to convert implicit
    missing values to explicit missing values - similar to
    [`complete`][janitor.polars.complete.complete].

    It can also be used to figure out which combinations are missing
    (e.g identify gaps in your DataFrame).

    The variable `columns` parameter can be a string,
    a ColumnSelector, a polars expression, or a polars Series.

    `expand` can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

    Examples:
        >>> import polars as pl
        >>> import janitor.polars
        >>> data = [{'type': 'apple', 'year': 2010, 'size': 'XS'},
        ...         {'type': 'orange', 'year': 2010, 'size': 'S'},
        ...         {'type': 'apple', 'year': 2012, 'size': 'M'},
        ...         {'type': 'orange', 'year': 2010, 'size': 'S'},
        ...         {'type': 'orange', 'year': 2011, 'size': 'S'},
        ...         {'type': 'orange', 'year': 2012, 'size': 'M'}]

            It can be a string or a column selector or a polars expression.
            A polars expression can be used to introduced new values,
            as long as the polars expression has a name that already exists
            in the DataFrame.

pivot_longer

pivot_longer implementation for polars.

pivot_longer(df, index=None, column_names=None, names_to='variable', values_to='value', names_sep=None, names_pattern=None, names_transform=None)

Unpivots a DataFrame from wide to long format.

It is modeled after the pivot_longer function in R's tidyr package, and also takes inspiration from the melt function in R's data.table package.

This function is useful to massage a DataFrame into a format where one or more columns are considered measured variables, and all other columns are considered as identifier variables.

All measured variables are unpivoted (and typically duplicated) along the row axis.

If names_pattern, use a valid regular expression pattern containing at least one capture group, compatible with the regex crate.

For more granular control on the unpivoting, have a look at pivot_longer_spec.

pivot_longer can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

>>> import polars as pl

    """
    Unpivots a DataFrame from *wide* to *long* format.

    It is modeled after the `pivot_longer` function in R's tidyr package,
    and also takes inspiration from the `melt` function in R's data.table package.

    This function is useful to massage a DataFrame into a format where
    one or more columns are considered measured variables, and all other
    columns are considered as identifier variables.

    All measured variables are *unpivoted* (and typically duplicated) along the
    row axis.

    If `names_pattern`, use a valid regular expression pattern containing at least
    one capture group, compatible with the [regex crate](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/).

    For more granular control on the unpivoting, have a look at
    [`pivot_longer_spec`][janitor.polars.pivot_longer.pivot_longer_spec].

    `pivot_longer` can also be applied to a LazyFrame.

    Examples:
        >>> import polars as pl
        >>> import polars.selectors as cs
        >>> import janitor.polars
        >>> df = pl.DataFrame(

        ...         "Petal.Width": [0.2, 1.8],
        ...         "Species": ["setosa", "virginica"],

pivot_longer_spec(df, spec)

A declarative interface to pivot a Polars Frame from wide to long form, where you describe how the data will be unpivoted, using a DataFrame.

It is modeled after tidyr's pivot_longer_spec.

This gives you, the user, more control over the transformation to long form, using a spec DataFrame that describes exactly how data stored in the column names becomes variables.

It can come in handy for situations where pivot_longer seems inadequate for the transformation.

New in version 0.28.0

Examples:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from janitor.polars import pivot_longer_spec
>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "Sepal.Length": [5.1, 5.9],
...         "Sepal.Width": [3.5, 3.0],
...         "Petal.Length": [1.4, 5.1],
...         "Petal.Width": [0.2, 1.8],
...         "Species": ["setosa", "virginica"],

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
df DataFrame | LazyFrame

The source DataFrame to unpivot. It can also be a LazyFrame.

 required
spec DataFrame

A specification DataFrame. At a minimum, the spec DataFrame must have a .name column and a .value column. The .name column should contain the columns in the source DataFrame that will be transformed to long form. The .value column gives the name of the column that the values in the source DataFrame will go into. Additional columns in the spec DataFrame should be named to match columns in the long format of the dataset and contain values corresponding to columns pivoted from the wide format. Note that these additional columns should not already exist in the source DataFrame. If there are additional columns, the combination of these columns and the .value column must be unique.

 required

Raises:

Type Description
KeyError

If .name or .value is missing from the spec's columns.
ValueError

If the labels in spec's .name column is not unique.

Returns:

Type Description
DataFrame | LazyFrame

A polars DataFrame/LazyFrame.
