Overview

About

Maintained by Andreas Dominik CullmannFirst published 2016-12-2110 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Check your R code for some of the most common layout flaws. Many tried to teach us how to write code less dreadful, be it implicitly as B. W. Kernighan and D. M. Ritchie (1988) <ISBN:0-13-110362-8> in 'The C Programming Language' did, be it explicitly as R.C. Martin (2008) <ISBN:0-13-235088-2> in 'Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship' did. So we should check our code for files too long or wide, functions with too many lines, too wide lines, too many arguments or too many levels of nesting. Note: This is not a static code analyzer like pylint or the like. Checkout https://cran.r-project.org/package=lintr instead.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("cleanr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("fvafrcu/cleanr")

Development version from fvafrcu/cleanr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cleanr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-cleanr
