%<% {backpipe}

backpipes: %<%, %<<%

Description

Provides back-piping operators %<% (magrittr) or %<<% (pipeR) allowing a reverses (right-to-left) order of arguments

Usage

lhs %<% rhs

lhs %<<% rhs

Arguments

lhs

argument on the lhs of the backpipe

rhs

argument on the rhs of the backpipe

Details

• %<% works with magrittr. %<<% works with piper. They are both based on backpipe.
  

• Other magrittr operators and complex expressions are not supported yet.

• It is not possible to mix forward and and backward piping in the same expression because of likely ambiguous results.
