Ian Cook commented on ARROW-13435: ---------------------------------- I prefer the approach of adding {{arrow_table()}} because in my experience, dollar signs in R code are frightening to many users—even to users with significant R experience because the tidyverse has made it so that many whole workflows can be performed in R without ever typing a dollar sign. For that reason alone I think this is worth it. > [R] Add function arrow_table() as alias for Table$create() > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-13435 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13435 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Reporter: Ian Cook > Priority: Major > Fix For: 6.0.0 > > > In the arrow R package, there is a function {{record_batch()}} that is an > alias for {{RecordBatch$create()}}. It would be nice to have a similar > friendly alias for the even more commonly used {{Table$create()}}. Obviously > we can't use {{table()}} for this, but how about {{arrow_table()}}? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
