Get objects from packages via aliases of packages and the $ operator. The %as% infix operator works in the way similar to Python’s Import spam as ham
Installation
remotes::install_github("atusy/importas")
Example
library(importas) # Define an alias of a package, # and access the object from the package via the alias graphics %as% gr gr$plot #> function (x, y, ...) #> UseMethod("plot") #> <bytecode: 0x55ab7a951bc8> #> <environment: namespace:base> # A more R-like syntax is gr <- package(graphics) # Define aliases at once importas(ut = utils, st = stats) ut$str #> function (object, ...) #> UseMethod("str") #> <bytecode: 0x55ab7b075ae0> #> <environment: namespace:utils> st$median #> function (x, na.rm = FALSE, ...) #> UseMethod("median") #> <bytecode: 0x55ab7bb5b920> #> <environment: namespace:stats>
