Factors have driven people to extreme measures, like ordering custom conference ribbons and laptop stickers to express how HELLNO we feel about stringsAsFactors. And yet, sometimes you need them. Can they be made less maddening? Let's find out.

Installation

You can install the released version of foofactors from CRAN with:

install.packages("foofactors")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("cubarto96/foofactors")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(foofactors)
## basic example code

a <- factor(c("character", "hits", "your", "eyeballs"))
b <- factor(c("but", "integer", "where it", "counts"))

fbind(a, b)

fcount(iris$Species)

What is special about using README.Rmd instead of just README.md? You can include R chunks like so:

summary(cars)

You'll still need to render README.Rmd regularly, to keep README.md up-to-date. devtools::build_readme() is handy for this. You could also use GitHub Actions to re-render README.Rmd every time you push. An example workflow can be found here: https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/master/examples.

You can also embed plots, for example:

plot(pressure)

In that case, don't forget to commit and push the resulting figure files, so they display on GitHub and CRAN.
