Snapshot of tidyverse/dplyr: 5.1k★, R. dplyr: A grammar of data manipulation
Snapshot summary built from the project's own GitHub metadata — there's no written TopGit review yet. The page will update automatically when a full review is published.
WHY NO REVIEW YET
TopGit writes full reviews for the most-starred, most-requested repositories. This page is a snapshot until then — see the READ ME tab for the original README in full.
dplyr is a grammar of data manipulation, providing a consistent set of
verbs that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges:
mutate() adds new variables that are functions of existing variables
select() picks variables based on their names.
filter() picks cases based on their values.
summarise() reduces multiple values down to a single summary.
arrange() changes the ordering of the rows.
These all combine naturally with group_by() which allows you to
perform any operation “by group”. You can learn more about them in
vignette("dplyr"). As well as these single-table verbs, dplyr also
provides a variety of two-table verbs, which you can learn about in
vignette("two-table").
If you are new to dplyr, the best place to start is the data
transformation chapter in R for
Data Science.
Backends
In addition to data frames/tibbles, dplyr makes working with other
computational backends accessible and efficient. Below is a list of
alternative backends:
arrow for larger-than-memory
datasets, including on remote cloud storage like AWS S3, using the
Apache Arrow C++ engine,
Acero.
dbplyr for data stored in a
relational database. Translates your dplyr code to SQL.
dtplyr for large, in-memory datasets.
Translates your dplyr code to high performance
data.table code.
duckplyr for large, in-memory
datasets. Translates your dplyr code to high performance
duckdb queries with zero extra copies and an
automatic R fallback when translation isn’t possible.
sparklyr for very large datasets stored in
Apache Spark.
Installation
# The easiest way to get dplyr is to install the whole tidyverse:
install.packages("tidyverse")
# Alternatively, install just dplyr:
install.packages("dplyr")
Development version
To get a bug fix or to use a feature from the development version, you
can install the development version of dplyr from GitHub.
