Unique values of a dataframe column to list in R

Question

I have an R table (site_df). Need to convert unique values from a column (site_name) to a list. Any suggestions?

Example:

site_list = site_df %>% unique(site_name) %>% convert this to list

Answer 1

In base R, you can get unique values from site_name and make it a list.

as.list(unique(site_df$site_name))

For example, with default mtcars this will result into :

as.list(unique(mtcars$cyl))
#[[1]]
#[1] 6

#[[2]]
#[1] 4

#[[3]]
#[1] 8
