Josiah Parry - Evaluate strings as code

I think the best solution was given by @klmr:

getExportedValue('dplyr', 'starwars')

IHMO eval() should really be used as the very last resort. In most cases, there may exist a cleaner and safer way to achieve the task.

BTW, I'm not sure if there's any benefit of using {rlang} vs eval(parse(text = dataset_str)).
