Deprecated SE versions of main verbs

Description

tidyr used to offer twin versions of each verb suffixed with an underscore. These versions had standard evaluation (SE) semantics: rather than taking arguments by code, like NSE verbs, they took arguments by value. Their purpose was to make it possible to program with tidyr. However, tidyr now uses tidy evaluation semantics. NSE verbs still capture their arguments, but you can now unquote parts of these arguments. This offers full programmability with NSE verbs. Thus, the underscored versions are now superfluous.

Unquoting triggers immediate evaluation of its operand and inlines the result within the captured expression. This result can be a value or an expression to be evaluated later with the rest of the argument. See vignette("programming", "dplyr") for more information.

Usage

complete_(data, cols, fill = list(), ...)

drop_na_(data, vars)

expand_(data, dots, ...)

crossing_(x)

nesting_(x)

extract_(
  data,
  col,
  into,
  regex = "([[:alnum:]]+)",
  remove = TRUE,
  convert = FALSE,
  ...
)

fill_(data, fill_cols, .direction = c("down", "up"))

gather_(
  data,
  key_col,
  value_col,
  gather_cols,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  convert = FALSE,
  factor_key = FALSE
)

nest_(...)

separate_rows_(data, cols, sep = "[^[:alnum:].]+", convert = FALSE)

separate_(
  data,
  col,
  into,
  sep = "[^[:alnum:]]+",
  remove = TRUE,
  convert = FALSE,
  extra = "warn",
  fill = "warn",
  ...
)

spread_(
  data,
  key_col,
  value_col,
  fill = NA,
  convert = FALSE,
  drop = TRUE,
  sep = NULL
)

unite_(data, col, from, sep = "_", remove = TRUE)

unnest_(...)

Arguments

data	A data frame
fill	A named list that for each variable supplies a single value to use instead of NA for missing combinations.
...	<data-masking> Specification of columns to expand or complete. Columns can be atomic vectors or lists. To find all unique combinations of x, y and z, including those not present in the data, supply each variable as a separate argument: expand(df, x, y, z) or complete(df, x, y, z). To find only the combinations that occur in the data, use nesting: expand(df, nesting(x, y, z)). You can combine the two forms. For example, expand(df, nesting(school_id, student_id), date) would produce a row for each present school-student combination for all possible dates. When used with factors, expand() and complete() use the full set of levels, not just those that appear in the data. If you want to use only the values seen in the data, use forcats::fct_drop(). When used with continuous variables, you may need to fill in values that do not appear in the data: to do so use expressions like year = 2010:2020 or year = full_seq(year,1).
vars, cols, col	Name of columns.
x	For nesting_ and crossing_ a list of variables.
into	Names of new variables to create as character vector. Use NA to omit the variable in the output.
regex	A string representing a regular expression used to extract the desired values. There should be one group (defined by ⁠()⁠) for each element of into.
remove	If TRUE, remove input column from output data frame.
convert	If TRUE, will run type.convert() with as.is = TRUE on new columns. This is useful if the component columns are integer, numeric or logical. NB: this will cause string "NA"s to be converted to NAs.
fill_cols	Character vector of column names.
.direction	Direction in which to fill missing values. Currently either "down" (the default), "up", "downup" (i.e. first down and then up) or "updown" (first up and then down).
key_col, value_col	Strings giving names of key and value cols.
gather_cols	Character vector giving column names to be gathered into pair of key-value columns.
na.rm	If TRUE, will remove rows from output where the value column is NA.
factor_key	If FALSE, the default, the key values will be stored as a character vector. If TRUE, will be stored as a factor, which preserves the original ordering of the columns.
sep	Separator delimiting collapsed values.
extra	If sep is a character vector, this controls what happens when there are too many pieces. There are three valid options: "warn" (the default): emit a warning and drop extra values. "drop": drop any extra values without a warning. "merge": only splits at most length(into) times
drop	If FALSE, will keep factor levels that don't appear in the data, filling in missing combinations with fill.
from	Names of existing columns as character vector
