Parse neuprint return list to a data frame

neuprint_list2df(
  x,
  cols = NULL,
  return_empty_df = FALSE,
  check.names = FALSE,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x: A list returned by neuprint_fetch_custom
cols: Character vector specifying which columns to include (by default all of those named in x, see details).
return_empty_df: Return a zero row data frame when there is no result.
check.names: Whether to convert column names into R friendly form. This is not necessary but would be the default for data.frame were we not to set it ourselves. See as.data.frame for details.
stringsAsFactors: Whether to return character vector columns as factors. Note that the default of FALSE differs from data.frame and friends.
...: Additional arguments passed to as.data.frame

Details

A low level function tailored to the standard neuprint list return format. Should handle those times when jsonlite's simplification doesn't work. The normal return value of neuprint_fetch_custom is a list formatted as follows:

columns: List of column names
data: Nested list of data, with each row formatted as a single sublist
debug: Character vector containing query

If neuprint_list2df receives such a list it will use the columns to define the names for a data.frame constructed from the data field.
