use_data_table()
imports the data.table()
function from the data.table
package, as well as several important symbols: :=
, .SD
, .BY
, .N
,
.I
, .GRP
, .NGRP
, .EACHI
. This is a minimal setup and you can learn
much more in the "Importing data.table" vignette:
https://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/articles/datatable-importing.html
.
In addition to importing these functions, use_data_table()
also blocks the
usage of data.table in the Depends
field of the DESCRIPTION
file;
data.table
should be used as an imported or suggested package only. See
this discussion.
