"glue" function semantic for the expressions inside {}
The R package glue helps R developer to print data in a formatted manner, in a similarity to python formatted strings(i.e. f"..."
in python).
Example usage:
glue("x = {x}", x=42);# prints "x = 42"
As you can see that by the naive highlighter like the one of GitHub(i.e. semantic-free highlighter), the variable inside "{x}" isn't treated as an R expression. Sadly, this happens also in R language server as well.
It would be nice if R language server will treat the glue
function as an exceptional function, and treat what appears in "{}" as R expression.
Not only it will help on highlighting, but also for other utility of language server(go to def, find reference, rename, auto-complete, ...).
Right now, I prefer to use paste()
/paste0()
instead of glue()
, only because R language server (and the R linter BTW, not related to here) ignores the expression meaning.
