Overview

tidylab is a set of packages that work in harmony because they share common software design principles – domain driven design (ddd) and microservice architecture. The tidylab package is designed to make it easy to install and load core packages from the tidylab in a single command.

Installation

# Install from CRAN
install.packages("tidylab")
# Or the development version from GitHub
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("tidylab/tidylab")

Usage

library(tidylab) will load the core tidylab packages:

  • decorators, for extending the behaviour of a function without explicitly modifying it.
  • microservices, for breaking down a monolithic application to a suite of services.
  • usethat, for automating repetitive tasks that arise during analytic project setup and development.

You also get a condensed summary of conflicts with other packages you have loaded:

library(tidylab)
#> ── Attaching packages ───────────────────────────────────────── tidylab 4.2.1 ──
#> ✔ usethat       0.3.0     ✔ decorators    0.1.0
#> ✔ microservices 0.1.2
#> 

You can see conflicts created later with tidylab_conflicts():

library(MASS)
tidylab_conflicts()

And you can check that all tidylab packages are up-to-date with tidylab_update():

tidylab_update()
#> The following packages are out of date:
#>  * broom (0.4.0 -> 0.4.1)
#>  * DBI   (0.4.1 -> 0.5)
#>  * Rcpp  (0.12.6 -> 0.12.7)
#> Update now?
#> 
#> 1: Yes
