About

pippy aims to make it easy for users to adopt a functional approach to their analysis. Pipelines are defined using a reduced subset of R and, when run, use an intelligent approach to work planning and object caching. Whilst the goal is to be “good enough” for many pieces of analysis, by encouraging a functional approach, it remains easy to move to more advanced alternatives such as targets.

Status

Whilst pippy is getting trialled by colleagues, it should be treated as experimental.

Installation

When pippy has been tested more it will be made available on CRAN. Until then, the best way to install is via the R-universe builds.

install.packages('pippy', repos = c('https://timtaylor.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
