Last week we released dplyr 1.2.0, but we left off something VERY important 🙂
`dplyr::if_else()` and `dplyr::case_when()` are now up to 30x faster and use 10x less memory!
We dive into how we achieved these numbers in this new #rstats post!

dplyr 1.2.0 comes with much faster and more memory efficient `if_else()` and `case_when()` functions!

You can use the colorize extension:
open-vsx.org/extension/ka... and then add "yaml" to colorize.languages in your settings.

Building packages around an APIs is fun! first its a great way to learn / practice connecting and transferring data back and forth and practice in user experience designs.

What I didn't fully appreciate is that there are no 'standard' APIs each website has their own ways of working, syntax and degrees of documentation
So while many api share common traits knowing how to use a API from one site doesn't mean you know how to use it for all sites.

{flix_patrol} is my 'learning' package on APIs and {httr2}.
A few things -- APIs in #rstats are easy and in fact fun with {httr2}!
This pacakge just lets gives you access to flixpatrol database of their tv, movies ranking and meta information.

Whatever it is, it should be internally consistent and use the corresponding “opposite” words for the opposite function, eg:
- load_x(), save_x()
- read_x() = write_x()
- get_x() = set_x(), although acceptable to use POST or PUT as the opposite verb in rare instances if aligning to the http verbs
- load_x(), save_x()
- read_x() = write_x()
- get_x() = set_x(), although acceptable to use POST or PUT as the opposite verb in rare instances if aligning to the http verbs

so when creating a function that either goes to an API or goes to go database to get and return data -- whats the verdict on the naming convention? #rstats
Does it matter if its a table of values vs. a vector?
for tables of data:
create_*_tbl
get_*_tbl
create_*
get_*
for vectors:
search_*
get_*

Being able to use a lookup table & just use "from" & "to" language like this is SUCH a wonderfully change for me when recoding values 🥹 #dplyr has always felt conversational to me, & now we can finally use it to say "recode this variable from this to that" without typing a long case_when #rstats
