Check column names of dataframes?

[etiennebacher]

Should this kind of check be generalized to all other functions for consistency? If so, we could make a helper .check_dataframe_names() (we could also suggest using janitor::clean_names()).

datawizard/R/adjust.R

Lines 78 to 83 in 89e8193

	if (!all(colnames(data) == make.names(colnames(data), unique = TRUE))) {
	insight::format_warning(
	"Bad column names (e.g., with spaces) have been detected which might create issues in many functions.",
	"Please fix it (you can run `names(mydata) <- make.names(names(mydata))` for a quick fix)."
	)
	}

Yes, sounds good! I'd also say that we can both suggest makenames and janitor.

Do we want this for all other functions, or only where really needed?

[etiennebacher]

I guess all data_ functions should have this. Any one of them could be called directly on a dataframe with bad column names and they almost have a select argument.
