Complex pipelines!

[henzeb]

The pipeline pattern exists in laravel for a long time, and for a while now there is even a facade giving you more easy access to it.

The pipeline is very simple. anything that's callable or has a handle method with the passable and a $next closure can be used. If you want more complexity, those are hidden within your pipes or middleware. There are no events and sometimes logic of storing something in the database have to happen in one pipe.

Suppose you could do the following:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Pipeline;
use Henzeb\Pipeline\Facades\Pipe;
use App\Models\User;

$user = User::find(1);

Pipeline::send($user)
        ->through(
            Pipe::events(
                Pipe::unless(
                    UserEnteredPasswordTwice::class,
                    ReturnInvalidRequestResponse::class
                )->else(
                    Pipe::rescue(
                        Pipe::transaction(
                            [
                                UpdateUser::class,
                                UpdateAddress::class    
                            ]      
                        ),
                        ReturnFailureResponse::class,
                    )
                ),
                'updateUserDetails'
            )
        );

This showcases 4 of the currently 14 pipes the factory produces. You can go as complex as you want while keeping the pipeline as simple as possible.
