## How it works

Here is a simple `randomForest()` model using the `iris` dataset:
```{r}
library(dplyr)
library(tidypredict)
library(randomForest)

model <- randomForest(Species ~ ., data = iris, ntree = 100, proximity = TRUE)
```

## Under the hood

The parser is based on the output from the `randomForest::getTree()` function.  It will return as many decision paths as there are non-NA rows in the `prediction` field.
```{r}
getTree(model, labelVar = TRUE) %>%
  head()
```


The output from `parse_model()` is transformed into a `dplyr`, a.k.a Tidy Eval, formula.  The entire decision tree becomes one `dplyr::case_when()` statement
```{r}
tidypredict_fit(model)[1]
```

From there, the Tidy Eval formula can be used anywhere where it can be operated. `tidypredict` provides three paths:

  - Use directly inside `dplyr`,  `mutate(iris, !! tidypredict_fit(model))`
  - Use `tidypredict_to_column(model)` to a piped command set
  - Use `tidypredict_to_sql(model)` to retrieve the SQL statement


## parsnip

`tidypredict` also supports `randomForest` model objects fitted via the `parsnip` package.

```{r}
library(parsnip)

parsnip_model <- rand_forest(mode = "classification") %>%
  set_engine("randomForest") %>%
  fit(Species ~ ., data = iris)

tidypredict_fit(parsnip_model)[[1]]
```
