Does styler include a transformer that can replace T with TRUE and F with FALSE in R code?

1. Does styler include a transformer that can replace T with TRUE and F with FALSE in R code?
2. Ideally it would be generic to so that I could also use it to replace shorthand e.g. p0 > paste0
3. If none exists, is there simple transformer example that I could use to model on?

Thank you!

it's generally unsafe to do that since you could have

T <- 'hi there'

You would need advanced static code analysis tools to ensure you only convert a true TRUE. That's out of scope for {styler}. But {lintr} offers checks for that so you can fix it manually.

Having said that, there are no generic transformers that replace arbitrary text and I would strongly advise against such replacements since they make styling unpredictable. Of course, you could write your own, there is documentation on that too.

It looks a bit complicated to me, so I wont implement it via styler, but thank you for the explanation and warning. (Since the file is under git, I can see if something odd is replaced)

Solved in PackageTools's replace_tf_with_true_false(). Works completely safely with strict = TRUE (default).
