CRAN availability

Are there any plans to make the package available on CRAN?

rake_survey "Error: All elements of `fs` must be factors"

rake_survey throws the error mentioned in the title. Simple reproducible example below (this follows https://medium.com/pew-research-center-decoded/weighting-survey-data-with-the-pewmethods-r-package-d040afb0d2c2):

 library(pewmethods)
fullpopulation <- data.frame(runif(1000), as.factor(ifelse(runif(1000) > 0.5, 'A', 'B')))
names(fullpopulation) <- c('x','weighting_variable') 

my_skewed_sample <- data.frame(runif(100), as.factor(ifelse(runif(1000) > 0.9, 'A', 'B')))
names(my_skewed_sample) <- c('x','weighting_variable') 

targets <- create_raking_targets(
  fullpopulation,
  vars = c('weighting_variable'),
  wt = 1
)

rake_survey(my_skewed_sample, pop_margins = targets)

I get the error: Error: All elements of fs must be factors

I managed to trace the error to unify_margins function called by rake_factors(). A simple workaround was to comment out the line where unify_margins is called. This works fine if factor levels in fullpopulation$weighting_variable and my_skewed_sample$weighting_variable match.

For reference, here is my R version:

make df the first argument in get_totals to work more seamlessly with dplyr

Tidyverse functions generally take the data argument first, making it easier to use the %>% operator. For example:

dec13_excerpt <- dec13_excerpt %>% mutate(fake_weight = coalesce(llweight, cellweight))
get_totals("q1", dec13_excerpt, wt = c("weight", "fake_weight"), include_unw = TRUE)

becomes:

dec13_excerpt <- dec13_excerpt %>%
 mutate(fake_weight = coalesce(llweight, cellweight)) %>%
 get_totals("q1", wt = c("weight", "fake_weight"), include_unw = TRUE)

Happy to submit a PR if you all are interested. This change could be relevant to other functions as well, I haven't checked.

Installing "pewmethods" package

Basic issue I realize, but I can't get the package to install. I currently have R version 3.6.3. I ran the following code:

install.packages(“devtools”)
install_github(“pewresearch/pewmethods”, build_vignette = TRUE)

I got the following error:

Error: Failed to install 'pewmethods' from GitHub:
  (converted from warning) unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6:
  cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES'

Any ideas?
