In box.linters: Linters for 'box' Modules

box.linters 0.10.6

• The box_unused_attached_pkg_linter() now correctly recognizes list elements accessed via $ as valid uses of an attached package. (#148)
• box_unused_attached_mod_linter() now handles errors gracefully when a module does not exist. (#108)
• Now respects the box convention that "nothing exported means export all". (#166)
• Introduces support for destructure operator %<-%
• Now handles non-syntactic names for object names, function definitions, and module references (#147, #151)
• Resolved a false-positive lint triggered by calling a function argument via list notation. (#131)
• Alphabetical sorting now uses the radix method, ensuring consistent behavior across systems. (#168)
• Fixed a bug in styling that caused issues when the source code contained no empty lines. (#134)

box.linters 0.10.5

• Fix for treesitter.r update to version 1.1.0. Change in how treesitter returns the start row of the program node. (#143)

box.linters 0.10.4

• Fix critical bug of style_box_use_*() converting all lines to NA if there is no box::use() call found.
• R version (>= 4.3.0) compatibility fix for MacOS.

box.linters 0.10.3

• Implement exclude_files in style_box_use_dir() to exclude files from styling.

box.linters 0.10.2

• Implemented linter tags file compatible with lintr::available_linters() and lintr::available_tags() functions.

box.linters 0.10.1

• box_unused_att_pkg_fun_linter() allows functions passed into other functions by name without ().
• package::function() check is exclusive to namespace_function_calls().
• Move treesitter dependencies to Suggests because of the R >= 4.3.0 requirement. Functions that depend on treesitter now check if it is installed and handle the absence gracefully.

box.linters 0.10.0

• Add checks for package::function() calls. Allow box::*() by default.
• [Bug fix] Allow relative box module paths (#110)
• Less verbose box_alphabetical_calls_linter(). Reports only the first out-of-place function.
• Added styling functions for box::use() calls.
• [Bug fix] Allow multiple box::use(pkg) calls (#111)

box.linters 0.9.1

• Handle box recommended method of testing private methods.
• Added handler for glue string templates.
• Added box_mod_fun_exists_linter() to default linters
• [bug fix] box_trailing_commas_linter() now properly handles a #nolint for other linters
• [bug fix] box_unused_att_pkg_fun_linter() had issues with lists of functions. Linter function now drops the nested function name and retains the list name (list_name$function_name()) when performing the check.
• [bug fix] get_attached_modules() was not properly finding whole modules attached with short path/module declarations
