cli 3.4.0
-
New experimental styles to create ANSI hyperlinks in RStudio and
terminals that support them. See?cli::links
for details (#513). -
Expressions that start and end with a
{}
substitution are now styled
correctly. E.g.{.code {var1} + {var2}}
(#517). -
New
{.obj_type_friendly}
inline style to format the type of an R object
in a user friendly way (#463). -
Improved vector collapsing behavior. cli now shows both the beginning
and end of the collapsed vector, by default (#419). -
Nested
cli()
calls work now (#497). -
Return values now work as they should within
cli()
calls (#496). -
Style attributes with underscores have new names with dashes instead:
vec_sep
,vec_last
,vec_trunc
,string-quote
. The old names still
work, but the new ones take precedence (#483). -
cli now does not crash at the end of the R session on Arm Windows
(#494; @kevinushey) -
Vectors are truncated at 20 elements now by default, instead of 100 (#430).
-
20 new spinners from the awesome
cli-spinners package,
and from @HenrikBengtsson in #469.
Run this to demo them, some need UTF-8 and emoji support:new <- c("dots13", "dots8Bit", "sand", "material", "weather", "christmas", "grenade", "point", "layer", "betaWave", "fingerDance", "fistBump", "soccerHeader", "mindblown", "speaker", "orangePulse", "bluePulse", "orangeBluePulse", "timeTravel", "aesthetic", "growVeriticalDotsLR", "growVeriticalDotsRL", "growVeriticalDotsLL", "growVeriticalDotsRR") demo_spinners(new)
-
cli exit handlers are now compatible again with the withr package (#437).
-
cli functions now keep trailing
\f
characters as newlines.
They also keep multiple consecutive\f
as multiple newlinees (#491). -
{}
substitutions within inline styles are now formatted correctly.
E.g.{.code download({url})}
will not add backticks tourl
, and
{.val pre-{x}-post}
will format the whole value instead ofx
.
(#422, #474). -
cli now replaces newline characters within
{.class ... }
inline styles
with spaces. If thecli.warn_inline_newlines
option is set to TRUE, then
it also throws a warning. (#417). -
code_highlight
now falls back to the default theme (instead of no theme)
for unknown RStudio themes (#482, @rossellhayes). -
cli_abort()
now supplies.frame
toabort()
. This fixes an
issue with the.internal = TRUE
argument (r-lib/rlang#1386). -
cli now does a better job at detecting the RStudio build pane, job pane
and render pane, and their capabilities w.r.t. ANSI colors and hyperlinks.
Note that this requires a daily build of RStudio (#465). -
New functions for ANSI strings:
ansi_grep()
,ansi_grepl()
,
ansi_nzchar()
. They work like the corresponding base R functions, but
handle ANSI markup. -
style_hyperlink()
(really) no longer breaks if the env variableVTE_VERSION
is of the form\d{4}
, i.e., 4 consecutive numbers (#441, @MichaelChirico) -
cli_dl()
and its correspondingcli_li()
can now style the labels. -
The behavior cli's inline styling expressions is now more predictable.
cli does not try to evaluate a styled string as an R expression any more.
E.g. the meaning of"{.emph +1}"
is now always the "+1", with style
.emph
, even if an.emph
variable is available and the.emph + 1
expression can be evaluated. -
Functions that apply bright background colors (e.g.
bg_br_yellow()
) now
close themselves. They no longer format text after the end of the function
(#484, @rossellhayes).
