Celda Development Rstudio configuration

Rstudio Configuration

Below is a list of Rstudio (Version 1.1.463) settings and tricks that help with writing R codes consistent with the celda coding style guide.

Under tools -> Global Options -> General:

• Basic
  • Restore .RData into workspace at startup (Unchecked) [IMPORTANT!]
  • Save workspace to .RData on exit: Never

Under tools -> Global Options -> Code:

• Editing
  • Insert spaces for tab (Checked)
    • Tab width 4
  • Auto-indent code after paste (Checked)
  • Vertically align arguments in auto-indent (Unchecked)
• Display
  • Show line numbers (Checked)
  • Show Margin (Checked)
    • Margin column 80
  • Show whitespace characters (Checked)
• Saving
  • Strip trailing horizontal whitespaces when saving (Checked)

There is a built-in R code auto-format function available in Rstudio. It's Code -> Reformat Code. It fixes some but not all of the coding style issues.

There is an R package called styler (GitHub repo) that does a similar job with more power.
