README

Laravel Pipes is a PHP library that allows you to easily chain and execute multiple actions on a single data object. It is inspired by the Unix pipe concept, where the output of one command can be used as the input to another command.

$user = $createUser->execute($request->validated());
$sendWelcomeEmail->execute($user);

you can write this:

$user = pipe($request->validated(), [
    CreateUser::class,
    SendWelcomeEmail::class,
]);

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kylwes/pipe

Usage

You can create a pipe by use the pipe function:

$user = pipe($request->validated(), [
    CreateUser::class,
    SendWelcomeEmail::class,
]); // $user is an instance of App\Models\User

When one of your actions expects another parameter, you can use the with method:

// App\Actions\AssignRoleToUser.php
class AssignRoleToUser
{
    public function execute(User $user, $role)
    {
        $user->assignRole($role);
        
        return $user;
    }
}

// App\Http\Controllers\UserController.php
$user = pipe($request->validated())
    ->with(['role' => Role::find(1)])
    ->through([
        CreateUser::class,
        AssignRoleToUser::class,
        SendWelcomeEmail::class,
    ]); // $user is an instance of App\Models\User

You can also use pass anonymous functions:

$user = pipe($data, [
    CreateUser::class,
    function ($user) {
        $user->assignRole(Role::find(1));
        
        return $user;
    },
    SendWelcomeEmail::class,
]); // $user is an instance of App\Models\User

or call a function:

$title = pipe('  My awesome title   ', [
    'trim',
    'strtoupper',
]); // $title is 'MY AWESOME TITLE'

You can also pipe each individual item in an array or collection by using the ->each() method:

$users = pipe($users)
    ->each()
    ->through([
        ResetAnswers::class,
        InviteForNextSession::class,
    ]);
