pkg::name

Arguments

pkg	package name: symbol or literal character string.
name	variable name: symbol or literal character string. Works with symbols which point to strings representing packages

Debugging

To turn on debug mode, in which a message is printed whenever shorthand namespacing is in effect, set the option options(importAs.debug = TRUE)

Examples

## shorthand namespacing
d <- "dplyr"
d::select
#> function (.data, ...) 
#> {
#>     UseMethod("select")
#> }
#> <environment: namespace:dplyr>

## regular namespacing still works
dplyr::select
#> function (.data, ...) 
#> {
#>     UseMethod("select")
#> }
#> <environment: namespace:dplyr>
"dplyr"::select
#> function (.data, ...) 
#> {
#>     UseMethod("select")
#> }
#> <environment: namespace:dplyr>
