What problem does it solve?

R developers often need to present clear, nicely formatted command-line outputs when building R packages or scripts, but R's default messaging lacks rich formatting and structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inline markup with class-based formatting (e.g., {.code ...}, {.pkg ...}, {.val ...}) for code, paths, and values.
  • Formatted errors, warnings, and information via cli_abort(), cli_warn(), cli_inform() for consistent UX.
  • Progress indicators and headings (cli_progress_bar, cli_h1, cli_ul) to communicate status.
  • Theming and styling via cli_div and built-in themes to ensure accessible, branded CLI output.
  • Real-world use cases: building robust CRAN-like CLIs, debugging workflows, and user-facing messages in packages.

Quick Start

Install and load the cli package, then start formatting outputs in your R scripts with inline markup and CLI helpers.
