Overview

About

Maintained by Ben WisemanFirst published 2018-08-245 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A set of additional operators and helper functions to make R code easier to read, write, and maintain. Includes string arithmetic (such as 'foo' + 'bar'), in-place reassignment operators (such as x += 1), logical operators that handle missing values, floating-point and strict ('JavaScript'-style) equality tests, 'between' operators, and 'SQL'-style pattern matching. Also provides convenience helpers for type conversion, operating-system checks, complete-cases statistics, and string manipulation, such as Oxford-comma pasting and extracting the first, last, n-th, or most common element of a vector or word in a string. The goal is to give R users, particularly those coming from other languages such as 'Python', a friendlier and more consistent syntax.

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-roperators

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-roperators

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-roperators

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
