Pipeline Helper Function

[JordanDalton]

Pipelines are quite powerful in Laravel. GIven how quick one may wish to utilize this feature I would like to propose the following helper:

<?php


if( ! function_exists('pipe')) {

    function pipe($payload, $pipelines = [])
    {
        return app(\Illuminate\Pipeline\Pipeline::class)
                ->send($payload)
                ->through($pipelines)
                ->thenReturn();
    }
}

I think that the helper should return the Pipeline class itself.

The thenReturn part should be chained externally by the developer.

pipe(...)->thenReturn()

Especially because the user may want to return something other than the passable.

pipe(...)->then(...)

I considered this when I wrote the code. I'm not against it though.

Just to be complete here: there is already a package solving this and more. https://github.com/michael-rubel/laravel-enhanced-pipeline

There's no plan to add more helpers at the moment you can already do the following:

app('pipeline')->send($payload)...

// or 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Pipeline;

Pipeline::send($payload)...
