Open Source R Static Code Analysis Tools

lintr is a static code analysis tool for R that identifies syntax errors, style inconsistencies, and other potential issues in R scripts and packages. It supports customizable lint rules and integrates with many editors to provide realtime feedback and enforce coding standards (e.g., tidyverse style).

pkgdown is an R package (by the r-lib group) whose purpose is to generate static websites (HTML) for R packages, automatically converting a package’s help files, vignettes, README, NEWS, etc., into a documentation website. It helps package authors share their documentation online with minimal friction. It supports custom templates, themes, and configuration. pkgdown 2.0.0 includes an upgrade from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 5, which is accompanied by a whole bunch of minor UI improvements. If you’ve heavily customised your site, there’s a small chance that this will break your site, so everyone needs to explicitly opt in to the upgrade.
