These functions were superseded in purrr 1.0.0 in favour of
list_simplify()
which has more consistent semantics based on vctrs
principles:
as_vector(x)
is nowlist_simplify(x)
simplify(x)
is nowlist_simplify(x, strict = FALSE)
simplify_all(x)
ismap(x, list_simplify, strict = FALSE)
Superseded functions will not go away, but will only receive critical bug fixes.
Examples
# was
as.list(letters) |> as_vector("character")
#> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q"
#> [18] "r" "s" "t" "u" "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"
# now
as.list(letters) |> list_simplify(ptype = character())
#> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q"
#> [18] "r" "s" "t" "u" "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"
# was:
list(1:2, 3:4, 5:6) |> as_vector(integer(2))
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6
# now:
list(1:2, 3:4, 5:6) |> list_c(ptype = integer())
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6
