About

The tntpr package contains an assortment of functions and templates customized to meet the needs of data analysts at the non-profit organization TNTP. It includes functions for branded colors and plots, credentials management, repository set-up, and other common analytic tasks.

Package summary

Some of the highlights of the package include:

  • TNTP brand colors and palettes with the tntp_colors() and tntp_palette() functions
  • A TNTP ggplot2 theme using brand fonts (tntp_style())
  • The tntp_cred() functions for securely managing credentials (passwords, API keys, etc.).
  • TNTP-themed RMarkdown templates, for starting a new analysis with a shell that can already generate a TNTP-themed .docx report
  • Functions for initializing a new repository or project folder with TNTP-standard directories and documentation
  • Survey analysis tools such as factorize_df(), recode_to_binary(), and functions for dealing with check-all style questions
  • Wrappers for quickly making typical TNTP-style charts (e.g., bar chart of means on variable 1 grouped by variable 2)
  • Education-specific data management functions (e.g., date_to_sy() to convert continuous hire dates into school years using a specified cutoff date)
  • Built-in fake data sets to practice with, including student achievement data (wisc), teacher data (fake_county) and survey data (teacher_survey)

tntpr is built to work with the tidyverse set of packages.
