dotty

Destructuring assignments in R with the . object.

Usage

library(dotty)

# extract number of rows, number of columns from mtcars
.[nr, nc] <- dim(mtcars)
c(nr, nc)

## [1] 32 11

# extract first, last element of vector
.[first, .., last] <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
c(first, last)

## [1] 1 5

# extract a value by name
.[beta = beta] <- list(alpha = 1, beta = 2, gamma = 3)
beta

## [1] 2

# unpack nested values
.[x, .[y, .[z]]] <- list(1, list(2, list(3)))
c(x, y, z)

## [1] 1 2 3

# split version components
.[major, minor, patch] <- getRversion()
c(major, minor, patch)

## [1] 4 4 1

R CMD check

If you’d like to use dotty in your CRAN package, you can avoid R CMD check warnings by including a file called R/zzz.R with the contents:

.onLoad <- function(libname, pkgname) {
  dotty::dotify()
}

This function patches codetools so that variables usages in . expressions can be linted as though those were regular bindings / assignments.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
