Consider (re)exporting all {dplyr} functions (or depending on it)

Closed this issue · 2 comments

For consistency with dplyr it would be nice if as_tibble() was available.

Sys.setenv(DUCKPLYR_METHODS_OVERWRITE = FALSE)
library(duckplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
methods_overwrite()
#> ℹ Overwriting dplyr methods with duckplyr methods
as_tibble(mtcars)
#> Error in as_tibble(mtcars): could not find function "as_tibble"
    
methods_restore()
#> ℹ Restoring dplyr methods
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
as_tibble(mtcars)

hmm ... I guess this could actually be a broader issue. It would be nice if {duckplyr} depended on {dplyr} to ensure we have all functions available (e.g. bind_rows). Appreciate it's just one library call away but would still be a "nice to have".

Thanks, good point. I don't really like "Depends", let's reexport selectively.
