Indirection and tidyselect about rap4all HOT 3 OPEN

Yep you’re right that there are these annoying messages when inflating, but I didn’t want to go too much into detail in the book, because the main subject is not package development. These warnings are not an issue if you’re building your analysis as a pakage to take advantage of all the different tools that exist for development. I didn’t want to explain concepts that are not that easy to grasp and that not really required.

I thought might be the case. Just out of interest, do you know what the best practice is? (Is it to use .data$ and ""?)

The data.table team prefer to define NULL values as written here:

make_commune_level_data <- function(flat_data){
  locality <- NULL
  flat_data |> 
    filter(!grepl("nationale|offres", locality),
           !is.na(locality))
}
