How to create a Reproducible Example in R using reprex

in this video we are going to see how to make a great are reproducible example on Stack Overflow it is also known as MW e which is minimum working example so whenever you want to ask a question on Stack Overflow or you have found an issue with the package R package and you want to raise an issue on github with the developer so it is very important for you to give them the actual issue that they can reproduce and then they can fix it so if you just write it in English text they cannot of course understand entirely what is your issue that is why minimum reproducible example our minimum working example it's very critical for you to share your problem with someone else this also makes you a great programmer because now you could solve the problems much much faster your stock overflow questions are not going to be closed by the moderators and you would also get better responses and it could help others in solving their issues so we are going to look at a package called rip x2 SPAC egde helps you copy a code of your our code or let's say from your art studio and then it is going to help you in pasting it in these social media platforms whenever you want to ask not all social media platforms per se especially get a bish your Stack Overflow issue so reproduce an important package for you to know how to use it once you once you familiar to use rubrics then you would you would get really addicted to using reflects whenever you want to share this code because it's a it makes it quite easier and intuitive for you to share your reproducible example so replica so it's just a reproducible example and this this package was created by Jenny brain who needs no introduction in our community so let us go ahead and install reflects on our art studio so as you install any package replicas of ailable on cran so you go there and install the prix installer packages and reflects I hope that I have this package already and then there is not on any conflict with that ok great so reflects is successfully installed so let's do library it breaks which is not required once you successfully install her Prix what you can actually see is once you go to your our Studios add-in this is then Adam um most likely that you are running the latest version of our studio which means adding is enabled for you so it was enable bunch of versions before so once you have our studio add-in once you click our studio add-in you could see the add-ins that are available and then you can see that reflects as two options you have one less render epochs the other one is a render selection so what does it do let's let's go ahead and see so now let's assume that we have a code and then let's say ggplot and if you if you are familiar with ggplot or there is one of the biggest complaints that you would find on GC plotters a very popular error which is let's say Irish and you want to make a bar plot G on bar a es species species can Irish dollar spacious and better okay now when you when you run this thing this is quite a very popular error that even I get this error even today so what is this error is the error state states that error start underscore count must not be used with a y statistic so now let us assume that this is a problem that you have faced and you want to ask this thing so one of the one of the best practices first you go to stack overflow and then search for this area and then someone has already solved it so you find it find that solution upload it and then come back and then fix it so that's that said now let us assume for the sake of this discussion that this this error is quite new and you could not find an answer for so what you do now is you go copy this entire code and then go to your add in and then scroll down to the last and then say renders reflects selection so now you want to replace this selection so you are trying to reproducible example that is that is for this given part and you cannot you can see at the end of this process there endured reflexes or saved on clipboard which means now your clipboard is there so for you to know what is on your clipboard it is let us actually go ahead now let us assume that we are going to raise it as an issue with let's say ggplot in this case we are you know that the fabrics the reproducible example is currently available on our clipboard so you can just go click new issue and then you can see let's say we are going to remove this and then paste just this control V or if you are using Mac command V and then you can actually see the preview that it shows okay so this is what you try to do and this is your issue once you have the issue registered so you can write down the problem here so maybe this is the error but please do not pause this error because the solution of this error is quite quite obvious on internet so you can solve this with just one extra argument but in this case if you want to add it then you write a bunch of lines saying that okay this is my issue this is my MWe example so with this know you can paste this on your github or you can even you know paste it on on a stack overflow question so so it's quite easy for you to do it so if you if you see the preview so you can see that it's quite formatted so it's easy for you to share this on any platform where you want so you can also see that when you when you have a plot it also uploads an image so it directly puts an image an image and then it copies the links for you so this this is a very important package for you to keep it in your arsenal or triplets out or to Jenny brain for making this package and making it quite quite easier for any our beginner to reproduce create a reproducible example this is this is definitely one of the complaints that usually experience Stack Overflow community members usually complain about new comers that they don't have this ability of sharing reproducible example otherwise you know in many cases you actually see that the question is you know closed saying that there is no example or whatever it is right so so this is quite quite a good practice and then I hope you get slightly familiar with repres so it breaks usually gets installed as per what of your own ideas but if you if you are not a big fan of Tydeus but still I would I would encourage you to give a try with repeats and then enjoy using rubrics to know thank you for listening I would like to know how you felt about this video and then if you have got any suggestions please share it on twitter at one little coder and if you have any more requests about new videos please leave a comment thank you so much
