r-styler

This is a Quarto filter which applies styler::style_text() to R code blocks in a Quarto document. This is currently very basic and was mainly created as a learning exercise.

Installation

To install this extension in your current directory (or into the Quarto project that you're currently working in), use the following command:

quarto install extension wurli/r-styler

Usage

To apply automatic styling to R code chunks in your Quarto document, use the filters field in the document's YAML frontmatter like so:


---
title: R-Styler Example
filters:
   - r-styler
---

Here's some nicely formatted code:

```{r}
library(  dplyr , warn.conf = FALSE)

starwars |> filter( height > 100,
  species == "Human") |>
   select(1 : 3)
```

The above code will be styled according to the tidyverse style guide to appear as follows:

library(dplyr, warn.conf = FALSE)

starwars |>
  filter(
    height > 100,
    species == "Human"
  ) |>
  select(1:3)

Why use this filter?

You shouldn't - it's much better to write well-styled code in the first place. However you may want to use it to render someone else's poorly-styled document.
