pipeflux v1.0.4

pipeflux

An elegant and type-safe implementation of the pipe operator.

Overview

This package implements an easy on the eyes implementation of the pipe operator pattern.

Imagine there's a certain value you want to 'pass through' multiple transformations. Normally, you'd do something like this:

uppercase(stringify(double(2)));

In this case, the behaviour flows backwards... your eyes need to jump to the very right to find the deeply nested 2, and then retrace the steps back.

Of course, if you're used to doing this, and with only three methods it looks not that big... but consider this:

2 |> double |> stringify |> uppercase;

Streamlined, LTR, just fantastic, right?

This library implements this using the pipe global function.

pipe(2).to(double).to(stringify).to(uppercase).value; //faucet, lol

This pipe implementation allows for the pipe flow to be interrupted midway, and has some handy methods for dealing with Arrays, too.

Install

Depending on your package manager your install command may differ... but the package's name is pipeflux.
