lintr

{lintr} provides static code analysis for R. It checks for adherence to a given style, identifying syntax errors and possible semantic issues, then reports them to you so you can take action. Watch lintr in action in the following animation:

{lintr} is complementary to the {styler} package which automatically restyles code, eliminating some of the problems that {lintr} can detect.

Installation

Install the stable version from CRAN:

R install.packages("lintr")

Or the development version from GitHub:

```R

install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("r-lib/lintr") ```

Usage

And then you can create a configuration file and run selected linters:

```R lintr::use_lintr(type = "tidyverse")

in a project:

lintr::lint_dir()

in a package:

lintr::lint_package() ```

To see a list of linters included for each configuration:

```R

tidyverse (default)

names(lintr::linterswithdefaults())

full

names(lintr::all_linters()) ```

Setting up GitHub Actions

{usethis} provides helper functions to generate lint workflows for GitHub Actions:

```R

in a project:

usethis::usegithubaction("lint-project")

in a package:

usethis::usegithubaction("lint") ```

You can also run lintr during continuous integration or within your IDE or text editor. See vignette("continuous-integration") and vignette("editors") for more details.

Without further configuration, this will run the default linters. See vignette("lintr") to learn how to modify these defaults.
