This is a wrapper around the $cast() method that many Arrow objects have. It is more convenient to call inside dplyr pipelines than the method.

Usage

cast(x, to, safe = TRUE, ...)

x: an Array, Table, Expression, or similar Arrow data object.
to: DataType to cast to; for Table and RecordBatch, it should be a Schema.
safe: logical: only allow the type conversion if no data is lost (truncation, overflow, etc.). Default is TRUE.
...: specific CastOptions to set

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
mtcars |>
  arrow_table() |>
  mutate(cyl = cast(cyl, string()))
} # }
