add_number <- function(x, y) {
return(x + y)

3 %>%
add_number(5) %>%
add_number(2)[1] 10magrittr is the pipe, commonly used in tidyverse packages, that enables simple sequencing of operators. The simple forward pipe replaces f(x, y) with x %>% f(y). Code becomes much more readable when chaining multiple pipes together.
It’s very simple to use this in any package. the usethis package provides a command usethis::use_pipe() which takes care of everything for you. Once run, the magrittr pipe operator will be exported and available for users.
