As of right now, as far as I can tell, the documentation for the new
native |> pipe still says that it's experimental.
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45
*Pipe support is experimental and may change prior to release.*
Also still in the 4-1 branch:
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/R-4-1-branch/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45
(The corresponding comment in the NEWS file has been fixed in the
last 24 hours, but hasn't propagated to the online/HTML version on the
developer page yet ...)
As a "wish list" item, if there are any particularly
salient/important differences between the |> pipe and the %>% magrittr
pipe, it would be great to have those documented (I know that
documenting the difference between a base-R operator and the one that's
implemented in a non-Recommended package is a little weird, but it would
be helpful in this case ...) I know I could go back to the mailing list
discussion at
https://hypatia.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2020-December/080173.html
and try to figure it out for myself ...
cheers

OK, zapped the \note for 4-1-branch (for now). This close to release, changes have to be very small and safe to be allowed in, so anything more than that will have to wait for a later version. - Peter> On 17 May 2021, at 19:20 , Ben Bolker <bbolker at gmail.com> wrote: > > As of right now, as far as I can tell, the documentation for the new native |> pipe still says that it's experimental. > > https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45 > > *Pipe support is experimental and may change prior to release.* > > Also still in the 4-1 branch: > > https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/R-4-1-branch/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45 > > (The corresponding comment in the NEWS file has been fixed in the last 24 hours, but hasn't propagated to the online/HTML version on the developer page yet ...) > > As a "wish list" item, if there are any particularly salient/important differences between the |> pipe and the %>% magrittr pipe, it would be great to have those documented (I know that documenting the difference between a base-R operator and the one that's implemented in a non-Recommended package is a little weird, but it would be helpful in this case ...)

It would be nice to have "|>" listed in the precedence table in help(Syntax). I think it has the same precedence as "%any%" and both are left-associative. > quote( a |> f1() %any% f2()) f1(a) %any% f2() > quote( a %any% f1() |> f2()) f2(a %any% f1()) help(`|>`) does mention magrittr's pipe operator so the user can compare and contrast them. -Bill On Mon, May 17, 2021 at 10:20 AM Ben Bolker <bbolker at gmail.com> wrote:> As of right now, as far as I can tell, the documentation for the new > native |> pipe still says that it's experimental. > > > https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45 > > *Pipe support is experimental and may change prior to release.* > > Also still in the 4-1 branch: > > > https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/R-4-1-branch/src/library/base/man/pipeOp.Rd#L45 > > (The corresponding comment in the NEWS file has been fixed in the > last 24 hours, but hasn't propagated to the online/HTML version on the > developer page yet ...) > > As a "wish list" item, if there are any particularly > salient/important differences between the |> pipe and the %>% magrittr > pipe, it would be great to have those documented (I know that > documenting the difference between a base-R operator and the one that's > implemented in a non-Recommended package is a little weird, but it would > be helpful in this case ...)
