Tidy Select
Thomas Mailund · Apress eBooks · 2022
So-called “tidy select” is not a package you would use on its own (although you can import it and it is called tidyselect), rather it is a small language for selecting columns in a data frame or tibble. Many packages in the following chapters support this language, so rather than describing it in each chapter, I decided to put a description in its own chapter, and this is as good a place as any. We cannot, however, use the language without functionality from packages that are described in later chapters, so I will use the function select from the dplyr package; see Chapter 8 .
