pipe_impl: Pipe dispatch implementation.

In wrapr: Wrap R Tools for Debugging and Parametric Programming

Pipe dispatch implementation.

Description

This is a helper for implementing additional pipes.

Usage

pipe_impl(pipe_left_arg, pipe_right_arg, pipe_environment, pipe_string = NULL)

Arguments

pipe_left_arg	possibily unevaluated left argument.
pipe_right_arg	possibly unevaluated right argument.
pipe_environment	environment to evaluate in.
pipe_string	character, name of pipe operator.

Value

result

Examples

# Example: how wrapr pipe is implemented

print(`%.>%`)




# Example: create a value that causes pipelines to record steps.

# inject raw values into wrapped/annotated world
unit_recording <- function(x, recording = paste(as.expression(substitute(x)), collapse = '\n')) {
  res <- list(value = x, recording = recording)
  class(res) <- "recording_value"
  res
}

# similar to bind or >>=
# (takes U, f:U -> V to M(f(U)), instead of
#        U, f:U -> M(V) to M(f(U)))
# so similar to a functor taking
#   f:U -> V to f':M(U) -> M(V)
# followed by application.
