This is a demo package for the “Building Tidy Tools” workshop at rstudio::conf(2022L). It allows you to work with European soccer league data supplied by the engsoccerdata package (Curley 2016).

Installation

You can install the development version of ussie from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("supermdat/ussie")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to obtain data from the Italian soccer league:

library(ussie)

italy <- uss_make_matches(data_engsoc = engsoccerdata::italy,
                          country = "Italy"
                          )

dplyr::glimpse(italy)
#> Rows: 25,404
#> Columns: 8
#> $ country       <chr> "Italy", "Italy", "Italy", "Italy", "Italy", "Italy", "I…

#> $ goals_visitor <int> 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1,…

You’ll still need to render README.Rmd regularly, to keep README.md up-to-date. devtools::build_readme() is handy for this. You could also use GitHub Actions to re-render README.Rmd every time you push. An example workflow can be found here: https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/v1/examples.
