How can I manually set the document id in a corpus?

Question

I am creating a Copus from a dataframe. I pass it as a VectorSource as there is only one column I want to be used as the text source. This works find however I need

Answer 1

Here is a qdap approach to this problem that can handle it without the loop:

Use qdap version >= 1.1.0 right from the get go to convert the dataframe to a Corpus and the ID tags will be automatically added.

with(df, as.Corpus(textColumn, ids))

## <>
## Metadata:  corpus specific: 0, document level (indexed): 3
## Content:  documents: 6


## Look around a bit
meta(with(df, as.Corpus(textColumn, ids)), tag="id")
inspect(with(df, as.Corpus(textColumn, ids)))
