Rewrote the #rstats #shinyapps in #svelte with #typescript. Loads much faster and feels much snappier now 🚀 Also mobile responsive 💫

The #rstats #shinyapp for exploring some German regional data is now available at https://t.co/VOj2dpWVw0 ✨

Both content and interface will keep getting updated! (Still only in German, but your browser can translate it into English 😅)

@CedScherer @derspiegel @MauSteffen @thomasluxberlin @LWestheuser I am once again asking for the font :D (is it Univers? 🫣)

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TeslaDuBois I think the easiest way to do this would be to scale the state geometries around the region centroids using affine transformations (https://t.co/17wB4qIbrf), which can be done with {sf}. Minimal example:

CSS code to style the tree view adapted from blog post by Kate Morley https://t.co/SdYanHvO8y

Inspecting nested lists in #rstats can be daunting, so I've created a small package {listviewerlite} (inspired by listviewer) that creates a collapsible tree view of R lists using only #html and #css, without the need for #javascript

@von_skopnik @TimTeaFan Yes :) the font is Cascadia Code (https://t.co/i9L1hSByo3) with the 'ss01' OpenType font feature enabled for the cursive italics.

For the screenshots, I use VS Code with the CodeSnap add-on. VS Code theme is Everforest https://t.co/H5HtDq3tCK

Over the past year, a @CorrelAid team of @long39ng, @Kov_Zoran, Dorian Le Jeune, Johannes Ritter and me have developed {restatis}. The first version of this #RStats API wrapper for accessing the GENESIS database of @destatis is now available on #CRAN.

@TimTeaFan I agree. My replies were more about how much I like the new case_match function 😄

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan I meant the label columns* 😄

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan I see your point. Maybe a named list for the dict, where names are data column names and elements are value-label data frames? Then the value columns in the different dict data frames don't have to have the same type

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan And fwiw, I think an expr(as_integer_if_possible(label)) can be passed to the RHS when creating the formulas for case_match() to replicate your approach with recode() 🤔

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan Not that it matters much here, but plucking from a list should have better performance than filtering a data frame and the list structure would also correspond more to the dict/map data structure in other languages

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan Yep

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@TimTeaFan Also, I think using case_match() is type-safer because it would only accept values of the same type as the original value column on the LHS of the formulas, whereas names of a vector are always character 🤔

[Long Nguyen @long39ng]

@Mihoda The next step would be to write a shiny app on top of this 😄 /s

@moh_fodil Plot twist: the OP was comparing loops in R to other languages 😆
