Fluent Interface Example

A fluent interface is a form of an API that allows chaining methods to simplify common activities, especially where multiple operations are executed or options are specified in series.

Ideally fluent interfaces should only be employed where readability is improved when the API is frequently leveraged as a series of combined actions.

Common examples of Fluent Interfaces are:

jQuery

$('.mySelector')
    .hide()
    .addClass('anotherClass')
    .show();
    

Request

request
  .get('http://google.com/img.png')
  .on('response', function(response) {
    console.log(response.statusCode) // 200
    console.log(response.headers['content-type']) // 'image/png'
  })
  .pipe(request.put('http://mysite.com/img.png'))
