Get Author-Package Network For Two Named Authors

Finds one of the possible shortest paths between two named authors from CRAN. This is possible by searching the tidygraph object of all CRAN's package-author relationships created with kevinbacran::kb_combos(). Outputs a tidygraph object that's a subset of the full CRAN tidygraph. This output contains only the named authors and the authors and packages that link them together.

kb_pair(tidy_graph, name_a, name_b = "Hadley Wickham")

Arguments

tidy_graph	A tidygraph object of CRAN authors/packages created with kb_combos()
name_a	A character string of a CRAN author's name (one of two)
name_b	A character string of a CRAN author's name (two of two)

Value

A tidygraph object with classes 'tbl_graph' and 'igraph'.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
pair_graph <- kb_pair(cran_graph, "Garrett Grolemund", "Yihui Xie")
print(pair_graph)
# }
