dataframe - %>% .$column_name equivalent for R base pipe |>

Question

I frequently use the dplyr piping to get a column from a tibble into a vector as below

iris %>% .$Sepal.Length
iris %>% .$Sepal.Length %>% cut(5)

How can I do the same using the latest R built-in pipe symbol |>

iris |> .$Sepal.Length
iris |> .$Sepal.Length |>  cut(5)
Error: function '$' not supported in RHS call of a pipe

Answer 1

We can use getElement().

iris |> getElement('Sepal.Length') |> cut(5)
