[New Features] mindr supports tibble dataframes!

mindr is an R package that can convert a markdown file or multiple markdown files, such as steem posts, into one mindmap. mindr can also convert a mindmap into a markdown file, which can be a good start of your post. A brief introduction can be found in one of my previous posts: mindr: an R package that creates a markdown post out of a mind map. Thanks to the support from utopian.io!

• What feature(s) did you add?

Weeks ago, a user asked me if mindr can create mindmaps out of tibble dataframes. After a lot of tests and efforts, now new features have been brought into the version 1.1.1: mindr can create mindmaps out of tibble dataframes.

Here is an example:

# firstly install the newest version of mindr
devtools::install_github("pzhaonet/mindr")
# load the package
library(mindr)
# a data example. suppose et2 is a column of a tibble dataframe
et2 <- c("/Root name", "/Path A", "/Path A/Product A", "/Path A/Product A/Process A", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A", "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses/Object 1", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses/Object 1/Type: data source", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses/Object 1/Version: 3", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses/Object 2", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Analyses/Object 3", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Setup Parts", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Setup Parts/Par 1", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Setup Parts/Par 2", 
    "/Path A/Product A/Process A/Step A/Record 1/Setup Parts/Par 3", 
    "/Path B", "/Path C")
# convert the data into a mindmap
tree2mm(et2)

Then the users get a mindmap file "mindr.mm". Open it with any mindmap software, such as XMind:

• How did you implement it/them?

Link to relevant lines in the code on GitHub is here.

I added a function tree2mm(), which extracts the titles from the tibble dataframe, and decides which levels they belong to. With the title and level information, it can be converted correctly into a mindmap.

Have fun!
