base + plyr = bplyr

Run basic functions of dplyr and tidyr with only base R and rlang.

Disclaimer: this is experimental, use deliberately and with caution.

Previously called noplyr

When could this package be useful?

  • Non DBI related data manipulations
  • Continuous integration R scripts
  • Low package dependency workflows or products

All functions in bplyr mimic specific functions in dplyr and tidyr, and have a trailing prefix b_* to them. so arrange is b_arrange and so forth.

This has been done as to not create namespace conflicts with dplyr or tidyr, as this package does not try to replace the intended full features of those packages, but create light weight, fast installing alternatives when applicable.
