glue has a two new articles:
If the last argument of glue()
is empty, it is dropped (#320). This makes
it easy to structure glue()
calls with one argument per line, and to anticipate adding arguments:
glue(
"here's some text, ",
"and maybe more text will be added in the future?",
)
glue_sql("{var*}")
once again generates NULL
if var is empty.
This reverts #292. (#318).
The .envir
argument to glue()
and glue_data()
really must be an
environment now, as documented. Previously a list-ish object worked in
some cases (by accident, not really by design). When you need to lookup
values in a list-ish object, use glue_data(.x =)
(#308, #317).
Ditto for glue_sql()
and glue_data_sql()
.
If rlang is installed, glue will generate more informative errors if an interpolated expression either can't be parsed or fails to evaluate (#229).
+
now works in more situations, and gives errors when one side isn't a
character vector. It no longer automatically applies glue interpolation to
a non-glue input, if there is one. You'll need to do that yourself (#286).
glue_collapse(character())
(and hence glue_sql_collapse(character())
) now
return ""
, so that they always return a single string (#88).
glue_sql()
now collapses an empty vector to ""
not "NULL"
(#272).
glue_sql()
now uses DBI::dbQuoteLiteral()
for all object types. This
should increase fidelity of escaping for different object types (#279).
The "Speed of glue" vignette has been converted to an article, which allows
several package to be removed from Suggests
(and re-located to
Config/Needs/website
). The code got a light refresh, including a switch
from microbenchmark to bench and more modern use of ggplot2.
Add $(C_VISIBILITY)
to compiler flags to hide internal symbols from the dll (#284 @lionel-).
glue()
, glue_data()
, glue_col()
, and glue_data_col()
gain a new .literal
argument, which controls how quotes and the comment character are treated when parsing the expression string (#235). This is mostly useful when using a custom transformer.
Trailing whitespace-only lines don't interfere with indentation (#247).
Jennifer Bryan is now the maintainer.
The existing custom language engines for knitr, glue
and glue_sql
, are documented in a new vignette (#71). Detail added after release: glue now sets up registration of these engines in .onLoad()
.
glue_col()
gives special treatment to styling functions from the crayon package, e.g. glue_col("{blue foo}")
"just works" now, even if crayon is not attached (but is installed) (#241).
Unterminated backticks trigger the same error as unterminated single or double quotes (#237).
glue_sql()
collapses zero-length DBI::SQL
object into DBI::SQL("NULL")
(#244 @shrektan).
collapse()
has been removed (#213)New glue_sql_collapse()
function to collapse inputs and return a DBI::SQL()
object (#103).
glue()
gains a new .comment
argument, to control the comment character (#193).
glue()
gains a new .null
argument, to control the value to replace NULL
values with (#217, @echasnovski).
sql_quote_transformer()
is now allows whitespace after the trailing *
(#218).compare_proxy.glue()
method defined so glue objects can be compared to strings in testthat 3e without errors (#212)print.glue()
no longer prints an empty newline for 0 length inputs (#214)glue_safe()
gives a slightly nicer error messageglue_sql()
now collapses DBI::SQL()
elements correctly (#192 @shrektan)compare()
method gains a ...
argument, for compatibility with testthat 3.0.0glue_sql()
now replaces missing values correctly when collapsing values (#185).glue_sql()
now always preserves the type of the column even in the presence of missing values (#130).envir = NULL
is now supported and is equivalent to passing .envir = emptyenv()
(#140)
New glue_safe()
and glue_data_safe()
functions, safer versions of
glue()
that do not execute code, only look up values (using get()
). These
alternatives are useful for things like shiny applications where you do not
have control of the input for your glue expressions. (#140)
Fixed memory access issue and memory leaks found by valgrind.
glue now implements vctrs methods. This ensures that vectors of glue strings are compatible with tidyverse packages like tidyr (r-lib/tidyselect#170, tidyverse/tidyr#773, @lionel-).
Fix a LTO type mismatch warning (#146)
glue_sql()
now quotes lists of values appropriate to their type, rather
than coercing all values to characters (#153)
glue_data()
now implicitly coerces .x
to a list.
glue()
gains the .trim
argument, like glue_data()
.
single_quote()
double_quote()
and backtick()
all return NA
for NA
inputs (#135).
Improve trim()
's handling of lines containing only indentation (#162, #163, @alandipert)
glue()
now has a +
method to combine strings.glue_sql()
now collapses zero-length vector into DBI::SQL("NULL")
(#134 @shrektan).glue_sql()
now supports unquoting lists of Id objects.glue_sql()
now quotes characters with NAs appropriately (#115).glue_sql()
now quotes Dates appropriately (#98).The evaluate()
function has been removed. Changes elsewhere in glue made
the implementation trivial so it was removed for the sake of clarity.
Previous uses can be replaced by eval(parse(text = text), envir)
.
collapse()
has been renamed to glue_collapse()
to avoid namespace
collisions with dplyr::collapse()
.
compare.glue()
was added, to make it easier to use glue objects in
testthat::expect_equal()
statements.
glue_col()
and glue_data_col()
functions added to display strings with
color.
Glue now throws an informative error message when it cannot interpolate a function into a string (#114, @haleyjeppson & @ijlyttle).
Glue now evaluates unnamed arguments lazily with delayedAssign()
, so there
is no performance cost if an argument is not used. (#83, @egnha).
Fixed a bug where names in the assigned expression of an interpolation variable would conflict with the name of the variable itself (#89, @egnha).
Do not drop the glue
class when subsetting (#66).
Fix glue()
and collapse()
always return UTF-8 encoded strings (#81, @dpprdan)
The implementation has been tweaked to be slightly faster in most cases.
glue()
now has a .transformer
argument, which allows you to use custom
logic on how to evaluate the code within glue blocks. See
vignette("transformers")
for more details and example transformer
functions.
glue()
now returns NA
if any of the results are NA
and .na
is NULL
.
Otherwise NA
values are replaced by the value of .na
.
trim()
to use the trimming logic from glue is now exported.
glue_sql()
and glue_data_sql()
functions added to make constructing SQL
statements with glue safer and easier.
glue()
is now easier to use when used within helper functions such as
lapply
.
Fix when last expression in glue()
is NULL.
Fix for PROTECT errors when resizing output strings.
glue()
always returns 'UTF-8' strings, converting inputs if in other
encodings if needed.
to()
and to_data()
have been removed.
glue()
and glue_data()
can now take alternative delimiters to {
and }
.
This is useful if you are writing to a format that uses a lot of braces, such
as LaTeX. (#23)
collapse()
now returns 0 length output if given 0 length input (#28).
