Overview

A package that started as a joke, based on this mastodon toot by Kelly Bodwin, asking what a package called {aperol} would do, and the subsequent suggestion by Nick Tierney that it should deliver praise, which I ran with.

{aperol} gives you praise, but as if from someone tipsy or drunk. Specifically, it generates some praise using the {praise} package and garbles it. aperol::tipsy() swaps a subset of words, and aperol::drunk() mixes up the whole affirmation, repeating some words along the way.

As of v0.2.0, there is an aperol::spritz() function, which is a wrapper to any other function (by default devtools::check()) which counts how many times you call it, and offers increasingly garbled praise, the more often you do so in a given time-frame.

Installation

You can install the development version of aperol from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("EllaKaye/aperol")

Examples

library(aperol)
tipsy()

[1] "exquisite! are swiftly You"

tipsy(swaps = 2, "${Exclamation}! ${EXCLAMATION}!-${EXCLAMATION}! This is just ${adjective}!")

[1] "Yeahyah! This is HUH!-YEAHYAH! just super-excellent!"

drunk()

[1] "tenderly You badass! tenderly are"

drunk(repeat_words = 2, repeat_times = 2:3)

[1] "are frantically groundbreaking! groundbreaking! You groundbreaking! are"

drunk(2, 2, "You are ${creating} a ${adverb} ${adjective} ${rpackage}")

[1] "a package a R organizing are hot package enthusiastically You"

The hex

The hex for the package (created by Kelly Bodwin) is so fun that here it is in its full-sized glory.
