Is there a specific reason you went for a pipe class instead of a simple pipe function, like:

function pipe() {
    $args = func_get_args();
    $result = $args[0];
    $functions = array_slice($args, 1);
    foreach ($functions as $function) {
        $result = $function($result);
    }
    return $result;
}

Just curious. ^^

I do love the fluent code but wouldn't it be better to write a fluent interface? It would eliminate the need for PIPED_VALUE.

For example see the fluent strings in Laravel:
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpers#fluent-strings

You could do the same for arrays and others.

Am I missing something?

Hi

It is very nice piece of work, I am using pipe-operator in my projects. It really rocks, especially in combination with symfony expression language.

When I upgraded to 5.x within php8 migration I noticed that some of my expressions need to be fix because of strict_types=1.

I am wondering is declaring strict_types=1 is good for pipe-operator? What were the arguments for doing this?

As I understand the purpose of the pipe-operator it to make the code flow :), get it more compact and agile and so does the php coercive mode which is good thing in specific cases, changing it to strict_types in my opinion takes pipe-operator one step back in terms of agile.

For example:

class A 
{
  public function __toString(): string
  {
    return '[]';
  }
}
take(new A())->json_decode()->get();

On version 3-4.x it executes with no errors, on version 5.x it ends with:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: json_decode(): Argument #1 ($json) must be of type string, A given in /home/psuw/xtm/projekty/portal/portal/vendor/sebastiaanluca/php-pipe-operator/src/Pipe.php:37

Of course it will work but it is not so compact:

take((string) new A())->json_decode()->get();

symfony expression language:

take(a.__toString()).json_decode().get()

It seems this is an abandoned project that does not support the latest PHP version. People looking for a good replacement can try boostphp/pipe-operator.
