## Introduction
The `@supercharge/pipeline` package allows you to run a pipeline of async tasks. You’ll pipe an input serially through a list of (async) functions or classes. When using classes, you may define the called method on each class instance.

## Installation

```
npm i @supercharge/pipeline
```

## Docs
Find all the [details for `@supercharge/pipeline` in the extensive Supercharge docs](https://superchargejs.com/docs/pipeline).

## Usage
Using `@supercharge/pipeline` is pretty straightforward. Pass an array of classes or functions to a list and the pipeline sends the input through each stop.

For example, you may bootstrap an application by running a series of tasks:

```js
const App = require('./your-application')
const Pipeline = require('@supercharge/pipeline')

const app = await Pipeline
.send(new App())
.through([
LoadEnvironment,
InitializeAppConfig,
RegisterRoutes,
RegisterMiddleware,
function logAppVersion (app) {
console.log(app.version())

return app
}
])
.then(async app => {
await app.startServer()

return app
})
```

When using classes in a pipeline, the constructor receives the item you’re sending through the pipeline. In the example above, each class (e.g., `LoadEnvironment`) receives the `app` instance in the constructor.

A class instance for the pipeline may look like this:

```js
class LoadEnvironment {
constructor (app) {
this.app = app
}

async handle () {
// do the heavy lifting
}
}
```

### Using custom class methods
By default, the pipeline calls the `.handle()` method on class instances. You may change the method using the `Pipeline.via` method:

```js
const App = require('./your-application')
const Pipeline = require('@supercharge/pipeline')

const app = await Pipeline
.send(new App())
.through([

])
.via('methodName')
.then(…)
```

### And then return…
A pipeline starts when calling the `.then` method. The `then` method requires a callback as a parameter. You can skip the last stop (the callback of `then`) by directly returning the result of the pipeline using the `.thenReturn` method:

```js
const app = await Pipeline
.send(new App())
.through([ … ])
.via('methodName')
.thenReturn()
```

## Credits and Love to Laravel
The idea for this package comes from the [Laravel](https://laravel.com) PHP framework. Laravel contains a pipeline package providing the idea for this package. This package provides the same API as the Laravel pipeline package. A huge thank you goes to Laravel, being a great inspiration ❤️
