Pipeline

The Pipeline is an attempt to bring the pipe operation from bash and many functional programming languages to Java. The Pipeline leverages functional interfaces and generics to allow one to pipe the output of a method as input to another method in a readable way.

Example

class MyClass {
    public MyClass withoutPipeline() {
        return baz(bar(foo(this)));
    }

    MyClass foo(MyClass myClass) {...}

    MyClass foo(MyClass myClass) {...}

    MyClass foo(MyClass myClass) {...}
}

With Pipeline

class MyClass {
    public MyClass withPipeline() {
        return Pipeline.with(1)
            .into(this::foo)
            .into(this::bar)
            .into(this::baz)
            .get();
    }
    // ...
}
