dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap

What is this?

genzplyr is an alternative syntax for dplyr that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

The translation guide

dplyr verb	genzplyr verb	Meaning
filter()	yeet()	Remove rows that don't pass the vibe check
select()	vibe_check()	Keep only columns that matter
mutate()	glow_up()	Transform your data into its best self
summarise()	no_cap()	Get real summary stats, no lies
arrange()	slay()	Sort by slay factor
group_by()	squad_up()	Group data into squads
ungroup()	disband()	Break up the squad
rename()	lowkey()	Change names on the down-low
distinct()	periodt()	Remove duplicates, and that's on periodt
pull()	main_character()	Extract a column (give it main character energy)
slice_head()	send_it()	Take the top rows and send it
count()	its_giving()	Count occurrences (it's giving statistics)
left_join()	link_up()	Merge datasets but keep all your day-ones (left table stays main squad)
right_join()	clout_chase()	Merge, but the other chums call the shots on who stays (right table is main squad)
inner_join()	mutuals_only()	Merge, but only keep rows where both tables are mutually following each other
full_join()	everyone_in_the_groupchat()	Bring everyone, even if messy (keeps all rows)
anti_join()	ghost()	Forget about those who don't vibe with you (remove non-matching rows)
semi_join()	only_the_reals()	Just keep the rows that vibe with both tables (matching rows only)

Examples that slap

Basic workflow

Old way (cringe):

mtcars |>
  filter(mpg > 20) |>
  select(mpg, cyl, hp) |>
  mutate(kpg = mpg * 1.6) |>
  arrange(desc(mpg))

New way (bussin):

mtcars |>
  yeet(mpg > 20) |>
  vibe_check(mpg, cyl, hp) |>
  glow_up(kpg = mpg * 1.6) |>
  slay(desc(mpg))

Grouped summaries

Old way:

mtcars |>
  group_by(cyl) |>
  summarise(
    avg_mpg = mean(mpg),
    max_hp = max(hp)
  ) |>
  arrange(desc(avg_mpg))

New way (hits different):

mtcars |>
  squad_up(cyl) |>
  no_cap(
    avg_mpg = mean(mpg),
    max_hp = max(hp)
  ) |>
  slay(desc(avg_mpg))

Complex analysis

# Find high-performance 4-cylinder cars
mtcars |>
  yeet(cyl == 4, hp > 90) |>           # Only 4-cyl with decent power
  vibe_check(mpg, hp, wt, qsec) |>     # Relevant columns only
  glow_up(                              # Add some calculations
    power_to_weight = hp / wt,
    efficiency_score = mpg * hp / wt
  ) |>
  slay(desc(efficiency_score)) |>      # Sort by best score
  send_it(5)                            # Top 5

Renaming columns lowkey

mtcars |>
  lowkey(
    miles_per_gallon = mpg,
    horse_power = hp,
    weight = wt
  ) |>
  vibe_check(miles_per_gallon, horse_power, weight)

Getting unique values periodt

# See what cylinder options exist
mtcars |>
  periodt(cyl) |>
  slay(cyl)

# Count cars by cylinder and gear combo
mtcars |>
  its_giving(cyl, gear) |>
  slay(desc(n))

Extract main character data

# Get all MPG values as a vector
mpg_values <- mtcars |>
  yeet(cyl == 4) |>
  main_character(mpg)

mean(mpg_values)  # Average MPG for 4-cylinder cars

The full send

# Complete analysis that's absolutely bussin
mtcars |>
  yeet(hp > 100) |>                    # Yeet the weak cars
  vibe_check(mpg, cyl, hp, wt) |>      # Vibe check our columns
  glow_up(                              # Glow up the data
    hp_per_ton = hp / (wt / 2),
    efficiency = mpg / (hp / 100)
  ) |>
  squad_up(cyl) |>                     # Squad up by cylinders
  no_cap(                               # Get the real stats
    avg_hp = mean(hp),
    avg_mpg = mean(mpg),
    avg_efficiency = mean(efficiency),
    squad_size = n()
  ) |>
  disband() |>                         # Disband the squads
  slay(desc(avg_efficiency)) |>        # Sort by slay factor
  send_it(10)                          # Send it!

Run the demo

demo_genzplyr()

Why tho?

Because data science should be fun and your code should reflect your personality. Also, imagine the look on your professor's face when you submit an analysis using yeet() and squad_up().

Is this production ready?

Bestie, this is for vibes only. Maybe don't use this in your Fortune 500 company's quarterly earnings report.
