Picking up on an earlier thread, (Use string as filter in dplyr?),
what would the new tidyeval answer for this be, as filter_
is being deprecated.
Is there a way to use a string variable as the filter argument in dplyr? For example:
filter(iris,Sepal.Length > 6)
would be replaced with
string <- 'Sepal.Length > 6'
filter(iris,string)

Maybe:
filter(iris, !! rlang::parse_expr(string))
But as far as I understand the tidyeval philosophy, code as string is frowned upon and there shouldn't be string <- 'Sepal.Length > 6'
in the first place.
Maybe instead:
condition <- expr(Sepal.Length > 6)
filter(iris, !! condition)
