Hi, I am converting a couple of functions into a R-package. Many of the functions use data.table. I have two questions using data.table in my own package. Normally I would put each question in separate emails but I think they might be connected.
First question is short and I think the answer is yes. 1. Do I always need to prefix data.table each time I use something from that package? Eg. DT <- data.table::data.table(x=rep(c("b","a","c"),each=3), y=c(1,3,6), v=1:9) Second question is longer. 2. In this small example code: hello <- function() { DT <- data.table::data.table(x=rep(c("b","a","c"),each=3), y=c(1,3,6), v=1:9) DT[, .(sum(v))] } I get these warnings from R CMD check: hello: no visible global function definition for ‘.’ hello: no visible binding for global variable ‘v’ Undefined global functions or variables: . v According to: vignette("datatable-importing", package = "data.table") The solution is hello <- function() { v <- NULL . <- NULL And it works but looks a bit weird. Is there a better solution?
