Description
Lazy (Non-Standard) Evaluation.
Description
An alternative approach to non-standard evaluation using formulas. Provides a full implementation of LISP style 'quasiquotation', making it easier to generate code with other code.
README.md
lazyeval
The lazyeval package provides tools that make it easier to correctly implement non-standard evaluation (NSE) in R. You use lazy evaluation by requiring the user to "quote" specially evaluated arguments with ~, and then using the lazyeval package to compute with those formulas. It is also possible to eliminate the use of the ~ by converting promises to formulas. This does make programming with such functions a little harder, but it can be worth it in certain situations. See vignette("lazyeval") for more details.
