In D-Se/ergo: Ergonomic R utilities

ergo

Ergonomic tools for R.

Installation

At the console, run r devtools::install_github("D-Se/ergo")

Why ergo?

• minimize hand travel distance
• maximize recall

Control flow

In natural language an important concept is usually easy to express. ergo re-purposes the ? operator and combines it with R's formula ~ interface to reduce glyphs needed.

| Base R | Tidyverse | Ergo | |:-----------------------------------------:|-----------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------:| | if(5 > 3) 10 else 5 | - | 5 > 3 ? 10 ~ 5 | | ifelse(1:5 > 3, 10, 5) | if_else(1:5 > 3, 10, 5) | 1:5 > 3 ? 10 ~ 5 | | ifelse(x>3, 5, ifelse(x>2, 10, 20)) | case_when(x>3 ~ 5, x>2 ~ 10, TRUE ~ 20) | x>3 ? 5 ~ {x>2 ? 10 ~ 20} |

Type checks

| Base R | Ergo | |:---------------------------:|:--------------------------:| | is.numeric("5") | "5" ? num |

Type conversion

| Base R | Ergo | |:---------------------------:|:--------------------------:| | as.numeric("5") | "5" ?~ num | | as.list(e, sorted = TRUE) | e ?~ lst [sorted = TRUE] |
