# default This command sets a default row's column if missing. Other commands are capable of feeding `default` with their output through pipelines. ## Usage ```shell > [input-command] | default [column-name] [column-value] ``` ## Examples Let's say we have a table like this: ```shell > open contacts.json ━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ # │ name │ email ───┼──────────┼────────────────── 0 │ paul │ paul@example.com 1 │ andres │ 2 │ jonathan │ ━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` `default` allows us to fill `email` column with a default value: ```shell > open contacts.json | default email "no-reply@example.com" ━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ # │ name │ email ───┼──────────┼────────────────────── 0 │ paul │ paul@example.com 1 │ andres │ no-reply@example.com 2 │ jonathan │ no-reply@example.com ━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ```
