Vector functions are useful for pulling out code that's repeated within a dplyr verb.
|
||||
But you'll often also repeat the verbs themselves, particularly within a large pipeline.
|
||||
When you notice yourself copying and pasting multiple verbs multiple times, you might think about writing a data frame function.
|
||||
Data frame functions work like dplyr verbs: they take a data frame as the first argument, some extra arguments that say what to do with it, and return a data frame or vector.

|

|

To let you write a function that uses dplyr verbs, we'll first introduce you to the challenge of indirection and how you can overcome it with embracing, `{{ }}`.
|

With this theory under your belt, we'll then show you a bunch of examples to illustrate what you might do with it.

|

|

Tidy evaluation is great 95% of the time because it makes your data analyses very concise as you never have to say which data frame a variable comes from; it's obvious from the context.
|
||||
The downside of tidy evaluation comes when we want to wrap up repeated tidyverse code into a function.
|
||||
Here we need some way to tell `group_mean()` and `summarize()` not to treat `group_var` and `mean_var` as the name of the variables, but instead look inside them for the variable we actually want to use.

Tidy evaluation includes a solution to this problem called **embracing** 🤗.

Embracing a variable means to wrap it in braces so (e.g.) `var` becomes `{{ var }}`.

In this chapter, you learned how to write functions for three useful scenarios: creating a vector, creating a data frame, or creating a plot.
|
||||
Along the way you saw many examples, which hopefully started to get your creative juices flowing, and gave you some ideas for where functions might help your analysis code.
|
||||
|
||||
We have only shown you the bare minimum to get started with functions and there's much more to learn.
