lifecycle

lifecycle provides a set of tools and conventions to manage the life cycle of your exported functions.

• For a general motivation and introduction to the key concepts, watch Hadley's rstudio::global(2021) keynote "Maintaining the house that the tidyverse built".

• Read vignette("stages") to learn what it means for a function to be experimental, stable, deprecated, or superseded.

• Read vignette("manage") to learn how to manage lifecycle changes in functions that you use.

• Read vignette("communicate") to learn how to communicate lifecycle changes in the functions you write.
