# TabularTransformer

A tabular transformer that transforms a data frame.

```
protocol TabularTransformer : Transformer where Self.Input == DataFrame, Self.Output == DataFrame
```

## Overview

Tabular transformers represent operations on data frames. They modify and operate on values on one or more columns.

## Topics

### Appending

[`func appending(_:)`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/appending(_:))

Composes this tabular transformer with another tabular transformer.

### Adapting

[`func adaptedAsEstimator() -> TabularTransformerToEstimatorAdaptor<Self>`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/adaptedAsEstimator())

Exposes this tabular transformer as a trivial tabular estimator.

[`func adaptedAsUpdatableEstimator() -> TabularTransformerToUpdatableEstimatorAdaptor<Self>`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/adaptedAsUpdatableEstimator())

Exposes this tabular transformer as an updatable tabular estimator.

### Transforming

[`func callAsFunction(DataFrame, eventHandler: EventHandler?) async throws -> DataFrame`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/callAsFunction(_:eventHandler:))

Performs the transformation on a single input.

### Exporting

[`func export(to: URL) throws`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/export(to:))

Exports this transformer as a CoreML model.

[`func export(to: URL, metadata: ModelMetadata) throws`](/documentation/CreateMLComponents/TabularTransformer/export(to:metadata:))

Exports this tabular transformer as a CoreML model with userInfo.
