This is a draft implementation of [RFC 0148](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/148).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `pipe-operators` experimental feature adds [`<|` and `|>` operators][pipe operators] to the Nix language.
|
||
|
|
*a* `|>` *b* is equivalent to the function application *b* *a*, and
|
||
|
|
*a* `<|` *b* is equivalent to the function application *a* *b*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
nix-repl> 1 |> builtins.add 2 |> builtins.mul 3
|
||
|
|
9
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nix-repl> builtins.add 1 <| builtins.mul 2 <| 3
|
||
|
|
7
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`<|` and `|>` are right and left associative, respectively, and have lower precedence than any other operator.
|
||
|
|
These properties may change in future releases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [the RFC](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/148) for more examples and rationale.
