Is there any possibilities for auto-formatting code in RStudio?
I found this, but it is not connected with RStudio.
Also it is desirable that it be customizable formatting.

Thank you @Lorenz@kirill@yuhi for styler
package. I have used it for a while. The simplest after installation of the package is to just use
scroll to Addin --> style active file
Customization options via interface would give some control on styling we prefer.
Rstudio can now format code to look neat. Select the lines of interest and then navigate to Code
>> Reformat code
or use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + A
.
update:
This is a good way to re-structure the code, but it breaks at ,
for the elements of a vector. For few this is OK, but with many elements passed to a vector, it is overkill:
x <- c(
"p.G12C",
"p.F121S",
"p.P124S",
"p.P124L",
"p.E13D",
"p.E203K",
"p.Q209P",
"p.Q209P",
"p.Q209L"
)
Update: R-Studio Version 0.99.893
There is a new feature that has been added by R-studio Addins
. Part of this addins, now you can add @yuhi formatR as an Addin. This is more tidy and cleaner way to structure code than the built-in code >> Refromat code
. However, the drawback with the Addin Reformat R Code
it throws an error for Rshiny codes.
Go to the Code
menu and select
Reindent Lines
Under my OS, this has the shortcut Ctrl + I.
First CTRL+A, then CTRL+SHIFT+A.
The package styler can format R code and you can access it via a RStudio Addin that allows formatting the active file, the highlighted code, the package and more. A distinguishing feature is its flexibility, as the transformation of code according to a style guide is done separately from specifying the style guide. This allows styling according to arbitrary style guide. As of version 1.2.0, this also holds for the Addin.
We've implemented the tidyverse style guide while allowing for quite some flexibility in styling. Also, the pipe, tidyeval syntax and more is handled properly. You can read an introduction in this blog post.
If you don't want to follow the tidyverse style guide, you can have a look at the vignette 'Customizing Styler' that describes how you can implement an arbitrary style guide. In this vignette, I show how you can implement a style guide consisting of one rule: Always break the line before {
. Hope that helps.
