ggplot2 masking purrr::map automatically

tidyverse
,
#1

Hi all,

I often find myself getting into a situation like this when using the tidyverse and plotting geo-data:

library(purrr)
library(ggplot2)

map(1:2, identity)
#> [[1]]
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> [[2]]
#> [1] 2

map_data("world") %>% 
  dplyr::filter(region == "Greenland") %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = long, y = lat)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(group = group))
#> Attaching package: 'maps'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:purrr':
#> 
#>     map

map(1:2, identity)
#> Error in paste("(^", regions, ")", sep = "", collapse = "|"): cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'

It's not a massive deal, since I can just call purrr::map explicitly, although it is a bit annoying and can often interrupt my workflow.

Is there any way to call ggplot2::map_data without attaching maps::map into the current environment*?

* Also, have I got the terminology correct, here?

You could check out the package conflicted. It allows you to declare session-wide preferences so your workflow is less interrupted.

Yes, this looks fantastic, thank you.

The import package linked at the bottom looks really nice, too!

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:
