Join list of data frames

[davidrsch]

I have encounter with the necessity of joining several tibbles, which i have nested in a list. This can be easily done using reduce function from purrr package:

library(dplyr)
library(purrr)

df1 <- tibble(
  index = 1:4,
  values = 5:8
)

df2 <- tibble(
  index = 2:4,
  first = 6:8
)

df3 <- tibble(
  index = 3:4,
  second = 7:8
)

df_list <- list(df1, df2, df3)
df_join <- df_list |> 
  reduce(left_join, by = "index")

But taken into consideration that bind_cols from dplyr already allows working with lists of data frames I think it could be a great feature the possibility of joining list of dataframes using join functions.
