Pipe.Net

Inspired by PowerShell, two extension methods that will simplify your code, Pipe and PipeWith

Package manager: Install-Package Pipe4Net

.NET CLI: dotnet add package Pipe4Net


-- Update 16.10.2018 v1.3

For better redability added:

PipeResultTo same as Pipe

EndWith same as PipeWith

added new extension method on int : GenerateForLoopWithIndex((i) ⇒ cw(i)) where i is the current index in for loop, zero based! runs from i = 0 to i < targetInt


var result = IncrementA(IncrementB(IncrementC(1)))

becomes

var pipedResult2 = IncrementC(1).Pipe(IncrementB).Pipe(IncrementA);


You will find another goodie in there , an Option<T> monad in case you need it.


Two useful extension methods on bool type:

.IfTrue(doThis)
.Else(doThis)

Ex: ReturnBoolValue().IfTrue(() => Console.WriteLine("True")).Else(() => Console.WriteLine("False"));

No need for temp variables or { } block statements


The code is pretty simple, i encourage you to play and extend it by your own needs

public static class PipeIt
{
    public static void PipeWith<T>(this T obj, Action<T> action) => action(obj);
  
    public static T Pipe<T>(this T obj, Func<T, T> func) => func(obj);

    public static Option<TR> Pipe<T,TR>(this T obj, Func<T, Option<TR>> func) => func(obj);
}

This is the main reason why this package exists. Look at the other tests also they are pretty intuitive

[Fact]
    public void Should_Have_Same_Result_When_Piped()
    {
        var result = IncrementA(IncrementB(IncrementC(1)));

        var pipedResult = 1.Pipe(IncrementC).Pipe(IncrementB).Pipe(IncrementC);

        Assert.Equal(result,pipedResult);

        var pipedResult2 = IncrementC(1).Pipe(IncrementB).Pipe(IncrementA);

        Assert.Equal(result, pipedResult2);
    }

    private int IncrementA(int val) => val++;

    private int IncrementB(int val) => val++;

    private int IncrementC(int val) => val++;
    

The test above perfectly represents what i want to achieve with this nuget package, i have reading code from right to left, or naming temporary variables, it just one of those things that bothers me in programming, and i think this way or writing code is more elegant:

var result = IncrementA(IncrementB(IncrementC(1))) becomes var pipedResult2 = IncrementC(1).Pipe(IncrementB).Pipe(IncrementA);

Awesome
