A Grammar of Nested Data Manipulation
Overview
Provides functions for manipulating nested data frames in a list-column using 'dplyr' https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/ syntax. Rather than unnesting, then manipulating a data frame, 'nplyr' allows users to manipulate each nested data frame directly. 'nplyr' is a wrapper for 'dplyr' functions that provide tools for common data manipulation steps: filtering rows, selecting columns, summarising grouped data, among others.
- The package has been transferred to a new maintainer. From @markjrieke to @jibarozzo.
