Formalist — Positron Extension
[!IMPORTANT] The extension is designed to work ONLY in Positron IDE starting from version
2025.01.0, as it heavily depends on the Positron API.
Features
[!NOTE] All features work on selected text. If no text is selected, you'll receive a notification to make a selection first.
Make R Function Calls Explicit
Formalist can make R function calls explicit, instead of implicit ones, using the {pedant} R package. In other words, it checks the currently attached packages, i.e., the ones already loaded using library(), and transforms R function calls like select(mtcars, mpg, cyl) into dplyr::select(mtcars, mpg, cyl).

Fix Lints
Another key feature of Formalist is its ability to detect and correct lints in your R code. The linting process is performed locally using the {flir} package, which must be installed in your R environment.

[!TIP] The
{flir}R package installs in your current environment, so, you can setup your custom lint rules by runningflir::setup_flir()in your R console (read more here).
Installation
The extension is published on the Open VSX Registry: just click Install there or manually install it with:
1) Start the Positron.
2) Inside Positron, go to the extensions view either by executing the View: Show Extensions command (click View -> Command Palette...) or by clicking on the extension icon on the left side of the Positron window.
3) In the extensions view, simply search for the term Formalist in the marketplace search box, then select the extension named Formalist and click the install button.
Alternatively, you can install the latest version from the Releases page. Download the latest .vsix file and install it as described here.
Dependencies
Formalist depends on two R packages {pedant} and {flir}. If your current environment is lacking either of them, you will be prompted to install them.
