Library for constructing a pipeline of middleware functions that have the option to call the next in the chain if they so desire before returning back to the previous function call.
This allows for the programmer to perform work on the given context both before and after invoking the next function in the chain.
```rust use libmw::prelude::*;
/// Sample freestanding handler function fn standalone_func(ctx: &mut dyn PipelineContext, next: Pipeline) -> Result<(), PipelineError> { // do work before calling the next handler in the pipe println!("before in handler func"); next.invoke(ctx)?;
// do work after the next handler in the pipe returns println!("after in handler func");
Ok(()) }
struct Context {} impl PipelineContext for Context { fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any { self }
fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> &mut dyn Any {
self
}
}
fn main() { let mut builder = PipelineBuilder::new();
// add freestanding function builder.with(standalone_func);
// branch not taken because the predicate does not return true // if changed to true, nothing added after this branch will run builder.when( |_ctx| { false }, |builder| { builder.with(|ctx, next| { println!("branch handler 1 before"); next.invoke(ctx)?; println!("branch handler 1 after");
Ok(())
});
builder.with(|ctx, next| {
println!("branch handler 2 before");
next.invoke(ctx)?;
println!("branch handler 2 after");
Ok(())
});
},
);
// with closure builder.with(|ctx, next| { // do work before calling the next handler in the pipe println!("before in closure"); next.invoke(ctx)?;
// do work after the next handler in the pipe returns
println!("after in closure");
Ok(())
});
// assemble the pipeline let pipeline = builder.assemble();
// create context and call pipeline let mut context = Context { }; let result = pipeline.invoke(&mut context); // handle result... } ```
