assuming a nested tibble y
y <- tibble(a=purrr::rerun(10,tibble(x=purrr::rerun(100,data.frame(xx=rnorm(10))))))
is there a way to pluck directly from depth d an element?
in this case i would want to get back a long data.frame of xx's with concatenated id's from each parent level.
You can use a "special" subset syntax where an numeric vector is used to "walk" through the tree via child positions.
Also is would be good if you provided a reprex rather than a cut/paste and also, if you can, show an example of what you want to produce. See reprex below of access a tree element.
https://www.tidyverse.org/help/
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tibble))
y <- tibble(a=purrr::rerun(10,tibble(x=purrr::rerun(100,data.frame(xx=rnorm(10))))))
y[[c(1,3,1,2,1,7)]]

thank you. i'm looking for a generalized purrr answer. in reality my tibble is 4gb with 8 levels and many elements
btw @jennybryan .... purrr is throwing what looks like a cpp error....
this is coming out in the console, thereby causing the console to be non responsive and forcing a hard restart of the IDE.
my_element <- function(x) x[[2]]$x%>%select(xx)
x <- y%>%pluck('a',my_element)

If you think you've found a bug, please file an issue on GitHub.
Thanks
on which project? rstudio | purrr?
purrr. If it's an issue with a package, file it in the package repo.
modify_depth should do the trick :
> library(tidyverse)
> y <- tibble(a=purrr::rerun(10,tibble(x=purrr::rerun(100,data.frame(xx=rnorm(10))))))
>
> modify_depth(y, 3, "xx")
# A tibble: 10 x 1
a
<list>
1 <tibble [100 x 0]>
2 <tibble [100 x 0]>
3 <tibble [100 x 0]>
4 <tibble [100 x 0]>
5 <tibble [100 x 0]>

7 <tibble [100 x 0]>
8 <tibble [100 x 0]>
9 <tibble [100 x 0]>
10 <tibble [100 x 0]>
Or maybe map2_dfc :
> map2_dfc(
+ c(3,2),
+ c("xx","x"),
+ ~ modify_depth(y, .x, .y)
+ )
# A tibble: 10 x 2

9 <tibble [100 x 0]> <list [100]>
10 <tibble [100 x 0]> <list [100]>
you are returning empty tbl_df's
yy <- modify_depth(y, 3, "xx")
yy$a[[1]]
# A tibble: 100 x 0
how can map2_df be changed to be generic, in this case?
In your access fonction my_element, do you really want to use argument x in two places or is it a typo ? I ask because you also have an x element in your list.
It seems to me that you want somethink like this
my_element <- function(arg) arg[[2]]$x ?
Then, where does the function select comes from, dplyr ?
Because with arg[[2]]$x you get a list of data.frame, not a data.frame. I think you need to bind them or use a map call before doing a select.
I try to clarify the question to better understand your example and what you want to do.
I get something like this right now, but not sure it is what you mean and don't see what you mean by concatenate id from each parent level
library(purrr)
library(tibble)
y <- tibble(a=purrr::rerun(10,tibble(x=purrr::rerun(100,data.frame(xx=rnorm(10))))))
pluck(y, "a", function(arg) arg[[2]]$x %>% dplyr::bind_rows() %>% dplyr::select("xx")) %>% str(1)
#> 'data.frame': 1000 obs. of 1 variable:
#> $ xx: num -0.126 0.983 -0.93 0.828 1.443 ...
Created on 2018-01-12 by the reprex package (v0.1.1.9000).
Thanks for the answer.
In this case i would want a way to traverse back in Id column ie
pluck(y, "a", function(arg) arg[[2]]$x %>% dplyr::bind_rows(.id = 'myId'))%>%head(.,20)
myId xx

but this is a toy example. in reality the depth is 6+ deep, is there a recursive solution to this? kind of what @colin was getting at with a depth param.
I'm not sure what you mean by generalized purrr but a similar syntax does work in purr and is meant for navigating a tree.
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyverse))
t <- tibble(a=purrr::rerun(10,tibble(x=purrr::rerun(100,data.frame(xx=rnorm(10))))))
t %>% pluck(1,3,1,2,1,7)
#> [1] -0.7794849
t %>% pluck("a", 1, "x", 1, "xx", 1)
#> [1] -0.3006946
t %>% pluck("a", 2, "x", 2, "xx", 1)
#> [1] 0.9794934
The tree you've built has some issues in that not every node in that tree has a name that is unique with respect to its siblings so at some levels they can only be referenced by child position.
Here is an example of a hand built 3 level tree that can be accessed by a path of names passed into pluck or a selector. Note that each node has a name that is unique with respect to its siblings even though the same names are repeated.
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyverse))
t2 <- list(a = list(a = list(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3), b = list(a = 4, b= 5, c = 6)),
b = list(a = list(a = 10, b = 22, c = 30), b = list(a = 40, b= 50, c = 60)))
t2 %>% pluck("a", "b", "c")
#> [1] 6
t2 %>% pluck("a", "a", "b")
#> [1] 2
t2 %>% .[[c("a", "b", "c")]]
#> [1] 6
t2 %>% .[[c("a", "a", "b")]]
#> [1] 2
Just a gentle reminder a reprex with a more simple example and the specific results you are looking for would help everyone help out on finding a solution. Although I think everyone gets the general idea of what you are trying to do it would better to show a "gozinta/gozouta" picture. (goes into, goes out 
) in addition to the general description of what you are looking for.
In your current it's hard specify a something other than "how do I use pluck to extract 0.961480267016588 from tree?" because it is hard to visualize where that value is in the tree and it requires a mix of positions and names to get to it.
And then again I may have completely misunderstood what you want to do... wouldn't be the first time for me :-)
