dplyr is an R package that provides a consistent and intuitive grammar for data manipulation, enabling users to filter, arrange, summarize, and transform data efficiently. Part of the tidyverse ecosystem, dplyr simplifies complex data operations through a clear and readable syntax, whether working with data frames, tibbles, or databases. It is widely used in data science and statistical analysis workflows.

lintr is a static code analysis tool for R that identifies syntax errors, style inconsistencies, and other potential issues in R scripts and packages. It supports customizable lint rules and integrates with many editors to provide realtime feedback and enforce coding standards (e.g., tidyverse style).

The cheatsheets repository from RStudio is a curated collection of official cheat sheets for R, RStudio, the tidyverse, Shiny, and related data science tools. Each cheat sheet is a single (or double) page PDF that condenses important syntax, functions, workflows, and best practices into a visually organized format ideal for quick reference. The repository contains source files (R Markdown or LaTeX) that generate the cheat sheets, version history, and metadata (title, author, description) for each. It covers topics such as data wrangling, data import, modeling, visualization, RStudio IDE shortcuts, Shiny development, and the tidyverse suite (dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, purrr). ...

...The idea is to let users structure code in a more modular, composable way, without needing every reusable component to be a full CRAN-style package. It also provides a cleaner syntax for importing functions or modules (via box::use) that allows scoping control and avoids global pollution. Such modules can be stored in a central module search path (configured via options('box.path')) analogous to the R package library, or locally in individual projects. Let’s assume the module we just defined is stored in a file hello_world.r inside a directory mod, which is inside the module search path.

magrittr introduces the pipe operator (%>%) and related functional utilities into R. It underlies the powerful piped syntax widely adopted in tidyverse workflows by enabling left-hand argument passing and providing helpers like compound assignment pipes and exposition pipes.

data.table is an R package that extends base R’s data.frame for high-performance data manipulation. It offers concise syntax, blazing speed, and memory-efficient operations. It supports fast file reading/writing, joins, grouping, reshaping, and updates by reference. It is heavily used in large data workflows, big data in R, production pipelines, etc. Extremely efficient grouping/aggregation/summarization; can handle very large datasets (hundreds of millions to billions of rows) in memory (if available). ...
