I have a data frame I am applying a function to using mapply(), but my result doesn't keep certain info in the initial data frame that I would like to keep. The function I am applying across the data frame is not vectorized.
DATA FRAME
Dealer Cities Zip Radius in miles
A Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 40
A San Bernardino, CA 92401 40
B Chino, CA 91710 40
B Fontana, CA 92337 40
I am applying a function that gets all zip codes in the given mile radius of the initial zip.
remotes::install_github("EAVWing/ZipRadius")
results <- with(city_names, mapply(ZipRadius::zipRadius,
as.character(`Center Zip Code`),`Radius in miles`, SIMPLIFY =FALSE ))
RESULT
The result is a large list containing a data frame for each time the function zipRadius was called.
DESIRED RESULT
Each data frame contains the zip code used by the function and the data the function generates, but I would like it to also keep the corresponding "Dealer" column associated with each initial Zip.
For example, the above data frame is generated from the zip 91730, which has a Dealer value of A.
DEALER ZIP Other columns generated by the function...
A 90001
A 90002
A 90011
