How to select all columns in dplyr

Problem

We want to select all variables in a data frame using dplyr.

Solution

select(iris, everything())
# Using the pipe operator %>%
iris %>% select(everything())

Notes

The function select( ) subsets columns based on their names and other features. We can use the function everything( ) a selection helper to select all variables.
