Create a data frame from vector, using the values as columns

Is there a convenient way to create a data frame from a vector and using the values of the vector as column names? Result should only have 1 row with empty fields. Values in vector may vary.

Given:

x <- c("1","2","3")

Output:

# A tibble: 1 x 3
  `1`   `2`   `3`  
  <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 ""    ""    ""  

>Solution :

If you’re a tidyverse fan as I see by your using of tibble, you could use a combination of map_dfc and setNames:

library(tidyverse)

df <- x %>% map_dfc(setNames, object = list(character(1)))

df

# A tibble: 1 x 3
 `1`   `2`   `3`  
 <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 ""    ""    ""
