\usage{
assignment_linter(
  allow_cascading_assign = TRUE,
  allow_right_assign = FALSE,
  allow_trailing = TRUE,
  allow_pipe_assign = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{allow_cascading_assign}{Logical, default \code{TRUE}.
If \code{FALSE}, \code{\link[base:assignOps]{<<-}} and \verb{->>} are not allowed.}

\item{allow_right_assign}{Logical, default \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE}, \verb{->} and \verb{->>} are allowed.}

\item{allow_trailing}{Logical, default \code{TRUE}. If \code{FALSE} then assignments aren't allowed at end of lines.}

\item{allow_pipe_assign}{Logical, default \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE}, magrittr's \verb{\%<>\%} assignment is allowed.}
}
\description{
Check that \verb{<-} is always used for assignment.
