Overview
lubritime is an extension for the lubridate package from tidyverse, adding new features to deal with temporal objects.
Please note that lubritime is not related in any way with Posit/RStudio or the lubridate developer team.
Prerequisites
You need to have some familiarity with the R programming language and with the lubridate and hms packages from tidyverse to use lubritime main functions.
If you don’t feel comfortable with R, we strongly recommend checking Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund free and online book R for Data Science and the Coursera course from John Hopkins University Data Science: Foundations using R (free for audit students).
Please refer to the lubridate and hms package documentation to learn more about them. These two are essential packages to deal with date/time data in R. We also recommend that you read the Dates and times chapter from Wickham & Grolemund’s book R for Data Science.
Installation
You can install lubritime with:
# install.packages("remotes")
