Type: Package
Title: Backward Pipe (Right-to-Left) Operator
Version: 0.2.3
Date: 2018-06-25
Description: Provides a backward-pipe operator for 'magrittr' (%<%) or 'pipeR' (%<<%) that allows for a performing operations from right-to-left. This allows writing more legible code where right-to-left ordering is natural. This is common with hierarchies and nested structures such as trees, directories or markup languages (e.g. HTML and XML). The package also includes a R-Studio add-in that can be bound to a keyboard shortcut.
