Test files for devel branches
An emergency patch to get this back onto CRAN, and packaging up some longstanding bugfixes also. Will need to revisit testing policy in future releases.
ff_league.mfl_conn() bug which created duplicate rows for leagues with both an email auction and email draft. (resolves #349)ff_scoringhistory() default arguments, now uses nflreadr::most_recent_season() as the default upper bound.(resolves #347)dp_values() now explicitly returns rather than invisibly returns.nflreadr::ffverse_sitrep() and encourage usage in bug reporting.ff_transactions.mfl_conn() bug that did not return auction bids, resolves #354ff_league.espn_conn() now counts TQB when evaluating qb_type and qb_count, resolves #367ff_starter_positions.mfl_conn() now splits RB+WR and RB+WR+TE positions into their own positional rows and resummarisessleeper_connect() now warns if you use a non-character league_id parameter - Sleeper league IDs are too long (18 characters) and longdouble support is inconsistent from OS to OSff_standings.mfl_conn() changed to adapt to MFL API changes as documented in 2022 API release notes , resolves #366ff_starters.sleeper_conn() bugfixed for API change (last-scored-leg -> leg)ff_scoring() fixed for dev purrr issuesff_transactions.flea_conn() bugfixed for infinite loop problem, resolves #356 (thank you @jdegregorio!)The main goal of v1.4.7 is to patch some minor bugs and to pre-emptively correct issues related to upstream dependency tidyr.
ff_scoringhistory.flea_conn() kicking bug.ff_schedule.mfl_conn() NA bug..espn_stat_map() to add threshold-based scoring and fix a missing defensive scoring settingff_scoringhistory.espn_conn() to add threshold calcs. (thank you, @scottfrechette!)espn_potentialpoints() to move regular flex ahead of superflexff_scoring() for MFL gets some tweaks to support changes to tidyr (thanks, @DavisVaughan!)Grateful to @davisderodes,@DavisVaughan, @draftydesert277, @scottfrechette, and @TheMathNinja for their contributions to this release - feedback, issues, and PRs!
The main goal of v1.4.6 is to patch some minor bugs, introduce a unified dependency on nflreadr, and add some support for kicker scoring.
ff_template() adds a template connection for ff_starter_positions(), ff_scoring(), and ff_scoringhistory() to more easily pull common scoring templates.ff_scoringhistory() and support ~ most kicker scorings (MFL's may be weird.)ff_league() for MFL now returns league type ("dynasty", "keeper", "redraft") if the field is set.ff_league() for MFL now returns draft type (e.g. "email draft", "live auction") if the field is set.ff_league() for MFL now returns draft player pool (e.g. "Rookie", "Veteran", "Both") if the field is set. (These three changes fix #311, thanks @maat7043!)ff_schedule() for ESPN now credits a bye team with a win instead of causing an error.espn_getendpoint() no longer returns an error for seasons prior to 2018. (Thanks, @JoeSydlowski!)nflfastr_weekly() and nflfastr_roster() now use the nflreadr package functions back-endff_starters() for ESPN now also tries to return a projected score for the week - thank you, @scottfrechette! Resolves #323.ff_schedule() for Sleeper no longer broken - resolves #322.ff_schedule() for MFL now returns NA as the result for unplayed games and becomes consistent with other platforms.ff_scoringhistory() for MFL now parses decimal ranges correctlyff_scoringhistory() into memoisable pieces (.nflfastr_offense_long, .nflfastr_kicker_long, .nflfastr_roster)Immensely grateful to: Joe Sydlowski, Matt Spencer, Santiago Casanova, Scott Frechette, and all others who raised issues and contributed code towards this release!
ffscrapr v1.4.4 patches some bugs, extends a new helper for removing html tags, extends features to support a new package (ffsimulator) and cuts over to a new GitHub org and website domain.
mfl_getendpoint() and similar get_endpoint functions have an improved print method that tells you whether the request was successful.ff_starters(), ff_transactions(), ff_rosters(), espn_potentialpoints(), ff_draft(). Fixes #297, thanks for the report @jpiburn!ff_transactions() now correctly handles leagues using waiver priority, fixes #299 - thanks for the report @BarkovMVP!ff_league() for Sleeper now identifies best ball leagues, fixes #300ff_scoring() for MFL now has a points_type column that is either "each" or "once" - this helps delineate fantasy points awarded for meeting thresholds/bonuses from points awarded per-stat, fixes #301ff_scoringhistory() for MFL applies the new ff_scoring() points_type column to calculate scoring history. This should result in more sensible results for leagues with bonus scoring! Fixes #301.dp_clean_html() to clean html from names (cough MFL cough)ff_starter_positions() now handles a "range" inside of the total_starters column for MFL, resolves #304The main goal of v1.4.3 is to patch some minor bugs.
ff_league() now has a column that returns the platform's season - this is most useful when running ff_league in batch. Thank you to @joeflan for the contribution! (Fixes #287)ff_schedule() for Sleeper now should extend into playoff weeks. (Fixes #289)ff_draft() for Sleeper now has an auction_amount column if it is an auction draft. (Fixes #291)dp_cleannames() now can flip names originally presented in LastName, FirstName order into First Last, and also has a custom name database to convert common alternate names to a unified one.nflfastr_stat_mapping and dp_name_mapping are namespaced within the package, so that they can be used internally and externally a little more robustly.The main goal of v1.4.2 is to patch some minor bugs.
espn_rosters now has a week argument to return a specific week of data. (Fixes #276, thanks @scottfrechette!)ff_scoringhistory now tries to return a platform-specific player ID, where available. (Fixes #275)sleeper_players() - gsis_id gets str_squish applied to it to resolve some stowaway whitespaces.mfl_players() - add any_of handling for columns to handle column name changes.sleeper_transactions now handles offseason transactions correctlyThe main goal of v1.4.1 is to patch some issues raised by CRAN checks and also correct some bugs in the new experimental ff_scoringhistory and ff_starter_positions functions released in v1.4.0.
nflfastr_stat_mapping is a dataframe that maps nflfastr columns to fantasy scoring rules, and is now exported for end-user usage. It is primarily used inside of ff_scoringhistory().release_questions to help remind me to maintain test infrastructuremfl_starter_positions now correctly calculates offensive starters (first via "iop_starters" if defined and then otherwise by subtracting idp starters) as well as kdst_starters (Resolves #264).ffscrapr_env relocated from being a child of the base environment to being a child of the empty environment (Resolves #269)ff_scoringhistory refactored and adds better support for MFL's fumbles and firstdowns. (Resolves #265)The main goal of v1.4.0 is to add preliminary support for connecting ffscrapr to nflfastR weekly data, and to clean up bugs from v1.3.0. Huge thanks goes to Joe Sydlowski for his contributions on scoring history (and everything else DynastyProcess!)
nflfastr_weekly() imports weekly offensive statistics from nflfastR's data repository.nflfastr_rosters() imports team rosters from nflfastR's roster repository.ff_scoringhistory() connects your league's scoring settings to the nflfastr data (c/o the functions above), and allows you to reconstruct historical scoring for your league!ff_starter_positions() describes the starter rules for each player/position, including min and max starters at each position accounting for flex spots. This should be useful for calculating things like value over replacement!ff_scoring for ESPN loses the "override_pos" which only had a value of 16 for D/ST specific rulesff_scoring rules for ESPN and Sleeper have been expanded from one line per rule to one line per position per rulemfl_playerscores to use season + league specific players call where possible (#239)flea_rosters test to 200, which fixes an API check issue (#242)sleeper_transactions now correctly handles multiple dropped players in one transaction. (#246).mfl_transactions - adds numeric string parsing to fix bug in auction bid amount (#)mfl_draft now calculates age as of timestamp and also adds an overall column. (#259, #260)
