Polite request to add examples for select and filter

Open DocEd opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Would it be possible to add some very brief examples for using rlang with dplyr::select and dplyr::filter. I appreciate they are still "to do". From an educational perspective it would be really useful since these are such basic building blocks of dplyr.

Many thanks in advance for building these fantastic resources! And apologies if this isn't the best forum in which to make this request.

I've recently begun learning rlang myself, and have found the official tidy eval book, as well as dplyr's programming vignette, to be great resources. The official cheat sheet is also handy for quick reference.

Additionally, Edwin Thoen made a blog post with many common tidyeval operations, and Hadley started a thread with many interesting use cases.

Hope this helps!

Very useful, thank you!

Here is another use case worth adding to the book

@JoshuaSturm the blog post is awesome! I bet there's a lot one can borrow from that into the dplyr cookbook section.
