Manage the Life Cycle of your Package Functions • lifecycle

lifecycle provides a set of tools and conventions to manage the life cycle of your exported functions.

For a general motivation and introduction to the key concepts, watch Hadley’s rstudio::global(2021) keynote “Maintaining the house that the tidyverse built”.
Read vignette("stages") to learn what it means for a function to be experimental, stable, deprecated, or superseded.
Read vignette("manage") to learn how to manage lifecycle changes in functions that you use.
Read vignette("communicate") to learn how to communicate lifecycle changes in the functions you write.
