Tidy eval helpers

The .data pronoun is reexported from rlang. It represents the current slice of data inside data-masking verbs. If you have a column name stored in a string, use .data[["var"]] to refer to that column. See the rlang reference for details.

Value

This page documents no function and returns no value. .data is not called either: it is an object, of class rlang_fake_data_pronoun, that has meaning only inside a data-masking verb, where it stands for the current slice of data. Subsetting it there, as .data[["var"]], gives that column.
