joyn (development version)

CRAN release: 2024-03-29

joyn has gained two new authors: Zander Prinsloo and Rossana Tatulli.

Function joyn::merge() was replaced by joyn::joyn(). This is now the main function of the joyn package.
Arguments allow.cartesian, yvars, and keep_y_in_x have been deprecated. The latter two have been replaced by y_vars_to_keep and keep_common_vars, respectively. The new argument names bring more clarity about what they arguments do.

New function joyn::merge() works as a mask for the base::merge() or data.table::merge.data.table(). joyn::merge() has the same features as the previous two, but includes the features of joyn::joyn().
Messages style have been improved and categorized. See message vignette for more information.
New functions to mimic dplyr joins. The joyn variants have all the features for joyn::joyn() but lack some of the most advance features of dplyr joins like joyn::join_by()

CRAN release: 2021-12-14

update_NAs now could be FALSE even if update_values is TRUE
Select rows-to-keep before transformation of updated values and NAs to avoid keeping rows from y that did not match in x but whose values got updated because update_values = TRUE
Solve issues #1 and #19
Change to data.table::merge.data.table syntax in all joins. It makes it easier to work with and consistent across different join types.
Remove previous lazy-loaded data.

CRAN release: 2021-04-28

Add function possible_ids() to identify what variables are suitable for uniquely identify the database.

Add function is_id() to check whether the table is uniquely identified by key variables
Add function freq_table() as a substitute for janitor::tabyl. This makes it more convenient for users who do not have janitor installed.

Fix bug on by argument when using “=” or “==”.
