Pipe operators

Re-exported from the magrittr package. %>% pipes the left-hand side into the first argument (or the . placeholder) of the right-hand side; %<>% does the same but assigns the result back to the left-hand side.

Usage

lhs %>% rhs

lhs %<>% rhs

Arguments

lhs

A value to pipe into the right-hand side expression.

rhs

A function call using the magrittr semantics; the value of lhs is placed into its first argument (or wherever the . placeholder appears).

Value

The result of calling rhs with lhs inserted, as documented in magrittr::%>%(). %<>% returns that result invisibly after assigning it back to lhs.
