Adding packages to the recipes required_pkgs

[rvalieris]

Hello, considering the following code:

rec <- recipe(Petal.Width ~ ., data=iris) |>
    # removes accents
    step_mutate(Species = stri_trans_general(Species, 'Latin-ASCII'))

required_pkgs(rec)
# 'recipes'

stri_trans_general is a function from the stringi package, however since it is inside the step_mutate, recipes is not aware of the additional package dependency.

Is there a way to manually add stringi to this list of required packages ?

this is important for vetiver to known which packages to use during inference time, see the related discussion: Function not found at inference time · Issue #269 · rstudio/vetiver-r · GitHub

thanks.
