importAs

This package helps mimic the idiomatic python importing of packages such as

import dplyr as d

In order to mimic this as closely as possible, the function importAs takes a package name and a (short?) name for that and creates a linkage. Helpful information is provided when printing and within the RStudio Environment pane

importAs(dplyr, d)

## or ##

dplyr %importAs% d

d

d::filter(mtcars, cyl == 4, am == 1)

For full details, see the vignette 'namespace-shorthands'.
