Using the `conflicted` package

I’ve been trying out the conflicted package and have found it to be pretty useful so far. It is a super simple package, with no actual functions (it “runs” in the background). Below is an example of some of its behavior when I had zoo loaded.

CWx_15min$TIMESTAMP <- as.Date(CWx_15min$TIMESTAMP)
Error: as.Date found in 2 packages. You must indicate which one you want with ::
 * zoo::as.Date
 * base::as.Date

This isn’t, perhaps, a super useful example, but does provide a sense of what happens when a function conflict is detected. And to be clear, I fixed the above error with the following:

CWx_15min$TIMESTAMP <- base::as.Date(CWx_15min$TIMESTAMP)

For more on the package, see the GitHub page: https://github.com/r-lib/conflicted.

Cheers!
