auto-pipeline is a source code generator that auto generate the component's pipeline. Help you to keep your project smaller, simpler, and more extensible. 💡

auto-pipeline is an annotation-processor for Pipeline generation, which is inspired by Google's Auto. ❤️

for more information, please check out the auto-pipeline documents.

quick examples

below is a brief introduction. please check the examples project, and it's test cases for details.

quick start

auto-pipeline require java 8 or above.

0. add auto-pipeline dependencies

for maven project:

<dependencies>
    <!--
        the auto-pipeline annotation processor will generate
          the pipeline classes for the interface.
        annotation processor dependency should be "provided" scope,
          because it's only needed at compile time.
    -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.foldright.auto-pipeline</groupId>
        <artifactId>auto-pipeline-processor</artifactId>
        <version>0.3.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

for gradle project:

/*
 * Gradle Kotlin DSL
 */
// the auto-pipeline annotation will be used in your interface type
compileOnly("com.foldright.auto-pipeline:auto-pipeline-annotations:0.3.0")
// the auto-pipeline annotation processor will generate the pipeline classes for the interface.
// use "annotationProcessor" scope because it's only needed at annotation processing time.
annotationProcessor("com.foldright.auto-pipeline:auto-pipeline-processor:0.3.0")

/*
 * Gradle Groovy DSL
 */
compileOnly 'com.foldright.auto-pipeline:auto-pipeline-annotations:0.3.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.foldright.auto-pipeline:auto-pipeline-processor:0.3.0'

1. using @AutoPipeline to auto generate pipeline for your interface

annotate @AutoPipeline to your interface, and auto-pipeline will generate some java files for the interface at compile time.

let's check the ConfigSource as an example:

given an interface named ConfigSource, the ConfigSource has the get() method, input a string as key and output a string as the value. like this:

public interface ConfigSource {
    String get(String key);
}

say, we want ConfigSource#get() has some extensibility, so we decide to apply the chain of responsibility pattern to it for extensibility.

Now it's auto-pipeline's turn to play a role, we simply add @AutoPipelin to ConfigSource：

@AutoPipeline
public interface ConfigSource {
    String get(String key);
}

auto-pipeline-processor will auto generate pipeline java files for ConfigSource into subpackage pipeline when compiled:

• ConfigSourceHandler
  the responsibility interface we want to implement for extensibility
• ConfigSourcePipeline
  the chain
• ConfigSourceHandlerContext
• AbstractConfigSourceHandlerContext
• DefaultConfigSourceHandlerContext

2. implementing your handler for pipeline

we can implement MapConfigSourceHandler and SystemConfigSourceHandler (they are all in the ConfigSource handler example):

public class MapConfigSourceHandler implements ConfigSourceHandler {
    private final Map<String, String> map;

    public MapConfigSourceHandler(Map<String, String> map) {
        this.map = map;
    }

    @Override
    public String get(String key, ConfigSourceHandlerContext context) {
        String value = map.get(key);
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(value)) {
            return value;
        }
        return context.get(key);
    }
}

public class SystemConfigSourceHandler implements ConfigSourceHandler {
    public static final SystemConfigSourceHandler INSTANCE = new SystemConfigSourceHandler();

    @Override
    public String get(String key, ConfigSourceHandlerContext context) {
        String value = System.getProperty(key);
        if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(value)) {
            return value;
        }
        return context.get(key);
    }
}

3. use the pipeline

create a ConfigSourcePipeline by composing ConfigSourceHandlers which can ben an entrance of the ConfigSource:

Map<String, String> mapConfig = new HashMap<String, String>();
mapConfig.put("hello", "world");
ConfigSourceHandler mapConfigSourceHandler = new MapConfigSourceHandler(mapConfig);

ConfigSource pipeline = new ConfigSourcePipeline()
        .addLast(mapConfigSourceHandler)
        .addLast(SystemConfigSourceHandler.INSTANCE);

now, we can use the pipeline.get(...) to invoke the chain! 🎉

pipeline.get("hello");
// get value "world"
// from mapConfig / mapConfigSourceHandler

pipeline.get("java.specification.version")
// get value "1.8"
// from system properties / SystemConfigSourceHandler
