dplyr::select_if can use colnames and their values at the same time?

Question

I want to select cols using colnames and their values in a single pipe chain without referring other objects, such as NAMES <- names(d). Can I do it with

Answer 1

A workaround that is not too complicated is:

d %>% select_if(stringr::str_detect(names(.), "Petal") | sapply(., mean) > 5)

# or 
d %>% select_if(grepl("Petal",names(.)) | sapply(., mean) > 5)

Which gives:

# A tibble: 150 x 3
   Sepal.Length Petal.Length Petal.Width
          <dbl>        <dbl>       <dbl>
 1          5.1          1.4         0.2
