Examples

library(polars)

# values to literal, explicit `pl$lit(42)` implicit `+ 2`
pl$col("some_column") / pl$lit(42) + 2

#> polars Expr: [([(col("some_column")) // (42.0)]) + (2.0)]

# vector to literal explicitly via Series and back again
# R vector to expression and back again
pl$select(pl$lit(as_polars_series(1:4)))$to_list()[[1L]]

#> [1] 1 2 3 4

# r vector to literal and back r vector
pl$lit(1:4)$to_r()

#> [1] 1 2 3 4

# r vector to literal to dataframe
pl$select(pl$lit(1:4))

#> shape: (4, 1)

# r vector to literal to Series
pl$lit(1:4)$to_series()

#> polars Series: shape: (4,)
#> Series: '' [i32]

# vectors to literal implicitly
