How to read multiple csv files into one data variable with each csv file being one entry in that variable?

Question

How should csv files be read in R such that the entire content of csv file is one entry in the dataframe that is created?

Answer 1

Let there be multiple csv files in one directory. You get a list of tables like this:

library(tidyverse)

data <- list.files("/my/data/dir") %>% map(read_csv)

or using base R:

data <- lapply(list.files("/my/data/dir"), read.csv)
