Interpreted String Literals

An implementation of interpreted string literals, inspired by Python's Literal String Interpolation < https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/> and Docstrings < https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/> and Julia's Triple-Quoted String Literals < https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.3/manual/strings/#Triple-Quoted-String-Literals-1>.

Simple Data Frames

Provides a 'tbl_df' class (the 'tibble') with stricter checking and better formatting than the traditional data frame.

Read Rectangular Text Data

The goal of 'readr' is to provide a fast and friendly way to read rectangular data (like 'csv', 'tsv', and 'fwf'). It is designed to flexibly parse many types of data found in the wild, while still cleanly failing when data unexpectedly changes.

Tools to Make Developing R Packages Easier

Collection of package development tools.

Read Excel Files

Import excel files into R. Supports '.xls' via the embedded 'libxls' C library < https://github.com/libxls/libxls> and '.xlsx' via the embedded 'RapidXML' C++ library < https://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/>. Works on Windows, Mac and Linux without external dependencies.

Automate Package and Project Setup

Automate package and project setup tasks that are otherwise performed manually. This includes setting up unit testing, test coverage, continuous integration, Git, 'GitHub', licenses, 'Rcpp', 'RStudio' projects, and more.

Run Code 'With' Temporarily Modified Global State

A set of functions to run code 'with' safely and temporarily modified global state. Many of these functions were originally a part of the 'devtools' package, this provides a simple package with limited dependencies to provide access to these functions.

A Simpler Way to Find Your Files

Constructs paths to your project's files. Declare the relative path of a file within your project with 'i_am()'. Use the 'here()' function as a drop-in replacement for 'file.path()', it will always locate the files relative to your project root.

Data from Gapminder

An excerpt of the data available at Gapminder.org. For each of 142 countries, the package provides values for life expectancy, GDP per capita, and population, every five years, from 1952 to 2007.

Read and Write from the System Clipboard

Simple utility functions to read from and write to the Windows, OS X, and X11 clipboards.
