VersaTul Pipeline Infrastructure

VersaTul Pipeline Infrastructure offers a powerful and elegant solution for object processing and transformation. This project fully implements the Pipeline and Filter pattern in a generic and flexible manner, allowing you to efficiently apply a series of filters to convert objects into their desired state. Ideal for scenarios where complex processing sequences are needed, VersaTul Pipeline Infrastructure simplifies and enhances your development workflow with its intuitive design and robust capabilities.

Installation

To use VersaTul Pipeline Infrastructure, first install it using nuget:

PM> NuGet\Install-Package VersaTul.Pipeline.Infrastructure -Version latest

Usage

The library consists of two main components: IStep<TIn, TOut> and Pipeline<TIn, TOut>.

• IStep<TIn, TOut> : A step represents the work to be done on a given input with the given return type. It has a single method:

TOut Execute (TIn input);

• Pipeline<TIn, TOut> : IStep<TIn, TOut> : Represents an accumulative set of steps that can be performed on a given input. It has a single property:

Func<TIn, TOut> Step;

The library also provides a static class PipelineExtensions that contains extension methods for adding steps to objects and pipelines.

TOut AddStep<TIn, TOut> (this TIn input, IStep<T, U> step);

Example

The following code shows how to use nested pipelines to work with different types.

// Using nested pipeline to work with different types.
// Example pipeline with steps setup.
public class CompoundPipeline : Pipeline<int, string>
{
    public CompoundPipeline()
    {
        Step = input => input
            .AddStep(new AnInitialStep())
            .AddStep(new InnerPipeline()) //InnerPipeline used by CompoundPipeline
            .AddStep(new IntToStringStep())
            .AddStep(new DoSomethingWithAStringStep());
    }
}

// A Pipeline that's called by another pipeline.
public class InnerPipeline : Pipeline<string, int>
{
    public InnerPipeline()
    {
        Step = input => input
            .AddStep(new DoSomethingWithAnIntegerStep())
            .AddStep(new SomethingElseWithAnIntegerStep())
            .AddStep(new OptionalStep<int, int>(i => i > 5, new AddOneStep()));
    }
}
