Hello,
When piping to any of `[.data.frame` or `[[.data.frame`, the placeholder
in mandatory.
df1 <- data.frame(y = 1:10, f = rep(c("a", "b"), each = 5))
aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean) |> `[`('y')
# Error: function '[' not supported in RHS call of a pipe
aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean) |> `[[`('y')
# Error: function '[' not supported in RHS call of a pipe
But if used it throws a warning.
aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean) |> `[`(x = _, 'y')
# Warning in `[.data.frame`(x = aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean), "y"):
named arguments
# other than 'drop' are discouraged
# y
# 1 3
# 2 8
aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean) |> `[[`(x = _, 'y')
# Warning in `[[.data.frame`(x = aggregate(y ~ f, df1, mean), "y"): named
# arguments other than 'exact' are discouraged
# [1] 3 8
Hasn't this become inconsistent behavior?
More than merely right, the named argument is mandatory, it shouldn't
give warnings.
Hope this helps,
