Always have a single space surrounding argument specification?

observed

Here I am deliberately adding a single, double, or triple spaces surrounding the argument assignment (=), but, when styled, {styler} preserves these spaces.

styler::style_text(
  'df <- dplyr::rename(df,
  "xValues" =   "Time",
  "xUnit" = "TimeUnit",
  "yValues"   = "simulationValues",
  "yUnit" = "unit",
  "yDimension"  = "dimension"
)'
)
#> df <- dplyr::rename(df,
#>   "xValues" =   "Time",
#>   "xUnit" = "TimeUnit",
#>   "yValues"   = "simulationValues",
#>   "yUnit" = "unit",
#>   "yDimension"  = "dimension"
#> )

expected

I would have expected that it would instead always have a single space surrounding assignment. Can this be supported?

df <- dplyr::rename(df,
  "xValues" = "Time",
  "xUnit" = "TimeUnit",
  "yValues" = "simulationValues",
  "yUnit" = "unit",
  "yDimension" = "dimension"
)

No changes in case alignment is detected

Of course, the feature request is relevant only in case no alignment is detected, since then the spaces are deliberate and shouldn't be changed.

styler::style_text(
  'df <- dplyr::rename(df,
  "xValues"    = "Time",
  "xUnit"      = "TimeUnit",
  "yValues"    = "simulationValues",
  "yUnit"      = "unit",
  "yDimension" = "dimension"
)'
)
#> df <- dplyr::rename(df,
#>   "xValues"    = "Time",
#>   "xUnit"      = "TimeUnit",
#>   "yValues"    = "simulationValues",
#>   "yUnit"      = "unit",
#>   "yDimension" = "dimension"
#> )

Thanks @IndrajeetPatil, 100% right. The problem was that quoted keys were not recognized. The following worked already:

styler::style_text(
  'df <- dplyr::rename(df,
  xValues    = "Time",
  xUnit      = "TimeUnit",
  yValues    = "simulationValues",
  yUnit      = "unit",
  yDimension = "dimension"
)'
)
