Alignment helper — align • pillar

Facilitates easy alignment of strings within a character vector. Designed to help implementers of formatters for custom data types.

align(x, width = NULL, align = c("left", "right"))

Arguments

x	A character vector
width	The width that each string is padded to. If `NULL`, the maximum display width of the character vector is used (see `get_max_extent()`).
align	How should strings be aligned? If `align = left` then padding appears on the `right`, and vice versa.

align(c("abc", "de"), align = "left")
#> [1] "abc" "de "
align(c("abc", "de"), align = "right")
#> [1] "abc" " de"
