Due to the characters, I'm having a hard time googling for which package the %||% function comes from.
I have tried googling the string literal, as well as 'percent bar bar percent' and similar.

How did you come up with that function? Can you use it on your machine? – Kota Mori Jul 20 '20 at 07:08

@KotaMori I cannot. It's used in `rvest::set_values()` – stevec Jul 20 '20 at 07:08

It is present in rlang package. See
?rlang::`%||%`
It behaves like dplyr::coalesce but for NULL values instead of NAs.

Thanks @Ronak. I learned two things (the other being that rlang isn't a base R package that loads when R does). Thanks again – stevec Jul 20 '20 at 07:12

1Doing `?\`%||%\`` in my console gave two results. `purrr` and `rlang`. It was imported into `purrr` from `rlang`. – Ronak Shah Jul 20 '20 at 07:15

I see. I just updated to R 4.0.2 (and haven't installed purrr yet) which must explain why I don't see the same. Thanks again! – stevec Jul 20 '20 at 07:16
