A ‘usethis’-like Package for Base Pseudo-equivalents of ‘tidyverse’ Code

Description

The ‘tidyverse’ is awesome, but can take a bit 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 delibrately and with caution.

What’s Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

• use_infix_helpers: Use infix-helpers
• use_keepers: Use base-ified equivalents of keep/discard/compact
• use_mappers: Use base-ified equivalents of ‘map’-pers
• use_safely: Use base-ified equivalents of “safely”-ifiers
