in RStudio, I have around 100 objects mostly tibbles, 5GB total which are always loaded before our analysis workflow. I'd like to store them all as a single .Rdata or some other appropriate data format so loading them is more convenient and consistent between team members' machine.
combination of
save.image("~/r_all.Rdata", compress = TRUE)
and
load("~/r_all.Rdata")
seemed to work great at first, but then I noticed all tibbles are turned into plain data.frames.
Our codebase is very much reliant on tidyverse and this causes nuisance of having to convert them back to tibbles
Is there a way to store entire workspace where tibbles are kept as tibbles?
This was just a silly oversight on my part!
I thought "tibbles are turned into plain data.frame" because of the way tibbles are printed on console - I hadn't load tidyverse package so tibbles are just "printed" as base data.frame would.
run pacman::p_laod(tidyverse)
and tibbles are printed exactly as expected.
Thank you Limey for pointing that out!
