Tables.jl Interface Integration

Quoted from the home page of Tables.jl:

The Table.jl package provides simple, yet powerful interface functions for working with all kinds tabular data through predictable access patterns.

The integration provides handy constructor to convert a table between several types. The time index of a TimeArray is considered as a normal data column named timestamp.

Here this doc shows some example usages of this integration. Converting table between DataFrames or CSV are quite common cases.

eachrow and eachcol iterators

In Julia v1.1+, these two functions are supported and baked by Tables.jl.

julia> using MarketData
julia> for row in eachrow(ohlc)
           time = row.timestamp
           c = row.Close
           # ...
       end

TimeArray to DataFrame

DataFrame to TimeArray

In this case, user needs to point out the column of time index via the timestamp keyword argument.

julia> df′ = DataFrames.rename(df, :timestamp => :A);
julia> first(df′)DataFrameRow
