Replace dplyr, ggplot2, stringr with tidyverse #205

Closed rsangole closed 7 years ago

rsangole commented 7 years ago

What are your thoughts in replacing these individual packages with tidyverse? Today, tidyverse will automatically import the core tidyverse packages: ggplot2, for data visualisation. dplyr, for data manipulation. tidyr, for data tidying. readr, for data import. purrr, for functional programming. tibble, for tibbles, a modern re-imagining of data frames.

Anyone working in the 'dplyr' / 'Hadley' framework pretty much requires all of these packages for every project.

I happy with that idea. It should be simply a matter of changing the default config file in the inst directory. Would this be something you could make a pull request for?

Yep, simple enough. I'll get it done today.

@KentonWhite I'd also like to propose shifting from reshape to reshape2 given the performance increases in Hadley's package.

KentonWhite commented 7 years ago

That is a good idea.
