st_join does a spatial join, which comes at a cost; since st_extract doesn't change the row order of the sf object, you could as well use

st_extract(st1, sf1) %>% mutate(nums = sf1$nums)

Dear list,

What would be the best way to do a spatial join between a sf object (of POINT 
geometry) and a star object, so the sf object gets the values of the 
corresponding pixels in the star object?  I have done using a combination of 
st_join and st_extract, but it feels a bit clunky.  Is there a better way?

Here is what I have done:

## --------------------------------------------------------------
## Load a stars object
st1 <- read_stars(system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")) %>%
   slice(band, 1)

## Create an sf object

set.seed(100)
bb <- st_bbox(st1)

sf1 <- tibble(lon = runif(n = 10, min = bb[1], max = bb[3]),
               lat = runif(n = 10, min = bb[2], max = bb[4]),
               nums = 1:10) %>%
   st_as_sf(coords = c("lon", "lat"), crs = st_crs(st1))

## Do the spatial join

sf1 <- st_extract(st1, sf1) %>%
     st_join(sf1)
## --------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Julian
