Control decimal output to csv from skimr output

Question

I can control the decimals in the output of skimr in this way:

library(skimr)
options(pillar.sigfig = 2)
skim(faithful)

but I need to be able to output the results to a csv file. Doing this, the decimals are not affected. How can I modify the decimal output of tibbles for export to a csv?

options(pillar.sigfig = 2)
skim(faithful)%>%
write.csv("~/test.csv")

Answer 1

skimr::skim() uses the pillar package to print the underlying skim_df object in the console. If you write the skim_df to a csv file, printing options are not considered.

You can treat the skim_df like a tibble or data.frame. The code below shortens the decimals to 2 for all numeric columns in the skim_df object.

library(skimr)
library(dplyr)
skim(faithful) |> 
  mutate(across(where(is.numeric), round, 2)) |> 
  write.csv("test.csv")
