A ‘usethis’-esque Package for Base R Versions of ‘tidyverse’ Code

Description

The ‘tidyverse’ is awesome, but can take a bit to compile on systems where there are no pre-built binary packages. Methods are provided which use the facilities of the ‘usethis’ package to snap-in base versions of useful ‘tidyverse’ functions that are mostly equivalent (some are more complete than others). The base R counterpart functions will likely be slower than the ‘tidyverse’ equivalents but using them will decrease ‘Imports’ dependencies.

Use deliberately and with caution.

What’s Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

• use_detect: Use base R versions of purrr detect functions (these support ~{} formula functions)
• use_infix_helpers: Use infix-helpers
• use_isers: Use “is_” tester functions
• use_keepers: Use base R versions of purrr keep functions (these support ~{} formula functions)
• use_mappers: Use base R versions of purrr map functions (these support ~{} formula functions)
• use_safely: Use base R versions of purrr safely functions
• use_tidylite(): Use base R versions of core tidyr functions
• use_walkers: Use base R versions of purrr walk functions (these support ~{} formula functions)
