v1.5.0

• New function format_names() to quickly and easily change names of data.frame columns, lists or character vectors.

  format_names(df, snake_case = TRUE)
  format_names(df, c(old.name = "new_name", value = "measurement"))
  
  library(dplyr)
  starwars %>% 
    format_names(camelCase = TRUE) %>% # column names
    mutate(name = name %>% 
             format_names(snake_case = TRUE)) # values in column

• New generic function na_replace() to replace NA values in any data type. Its default replacement value is dependent on the data type that is given as input: 0 for numeric values and class matrix, FALSE for class logical, today for class Date, and "" otherwise.

  na_replace(c(1, 2, NA, NA))
  #> [1] 1 2 0 0
  na_replace(c(1, 2, NA, NA), replacement = -1)
  #> [1]  1  2 -1 -1
  
  library(dplyr)
  starwars %>% 
    na_replace(hair_color) # only replace NAs in this column
    
  starwars %>% 
    na_replace() # replace NAs in all columns ("" for hair_color and 0 for birth_year)

• Support for the upcoming R 4.1.0
