In jimhester/lintr: A 'Linter' for R Code

Pipe consistency linter

Description

Check that the recommended pipe operator is used, or more conservatively that pipes are consistent by file.

Usage

pipe_consistency_linter(pipe = c("|>", "%>%", "auto"))

Arguments

pipe	Which pipe operator is valid (either "%>%" or "|>"). The default is the native pipe (⁠|>⁠). "auto" will instead only enforce consistency, i.e., that in any given file there is only one pipe.

lint(
  text = "1:3 |> mean() |> as.character()",
