Global Options

Description

Set these options to tweak {constructive}'s global behavior, to set them permanently you can edit your .RProfile1, e.g. using usethis::edit_r_profile().

Details

• Set ⁠options(constructive_print_mode = <character>)⁠ to change the default value of the print_mode argument, of print.constructive, where ⁠<character>⁠ is a vector of strings among the following :

  • "console" : The default behavior, the code is printed in the console

  • "script" : The code is copied to a new R script

  • "reprex" : The code is shown in the viewer as a reprex, the reprex (not only the code!) is also copied to the clipboard.

  • "clipboard" : The constructed code is copied to the clipboard, if combined with "reprex" this takes precedence (the reprex is showed in the viewer, the code without output is copied to the clipboard)

• Set ⁠options(constructive_opts_template = <list>)⁠ to set default constructive options, see documentation of the template arg in ?construct

• Set options(constructive_pretty = FALSE) to disable syntax highlighting.

Relevant options from other packages:

• cli.code_theme can be used to configure the syntax highlighting theme used by {constructive}; see cli::code_theme_list() for more information.
