dplyr template? #7

Open sa-lee opened 6 years ago

sa-lee commented 6 years ago

Hi Bob, any thoughts on having basey equivalents of the dplyr core verbs? I'd be happy to put in a PR when I have time.

hrbrmstr commented 6 years ago

aye!

I'm hoping to make the current bind_rows() in the mappers template 100% API-equivalent to it's dplyr counterpart, too. But the ability to use dplyr-like verbs w/o the compiled dependency is likely something a ton of folks wld find very useful.

Cool it's something that I've been interested in for a while and would be keen to work on. I guess the part of the dplyr API that will be the trickiest to get right is group_by(), that said if there was coverage of

[ ] filter()
[ ] mutate()
[ ] select()
[ ] arrange()
[ ] group_by()
[ ] summarise()

And maybe the joins and n() that would be nice.

the harder part is the quasi-quosi-queasy bits. It's doable with base R but ensuring enough bits are implemented to be on-par sufficiently for use is the key

noplyr could be a solution for this request.
