Study Notes
Pipelines
- Pipelines are reusable portions of business logic that are not transactional.
- Pipelines are similar to handler chains and are made up of one or more classes called pipes.
- Pipes must implement the
IPipe
interface, return a result from theExecute
method and specify an order using theOrder
property. - Pipelines can be executed wherever the logic is needed.
- Individual pipes can choose to halt execution of the rest of the pipeline by returning an error code or exiting the pipeline.
- Pipes within a pipeline are executed in order.
Adding a pipe
- To associate a pipe with a specific pipeline, the
TIn
andTOut
parameters must match the parameter and result object types of the pipeline.
Example of adding a pipe
- In this example, a new pipe called
AddCustomerZipCode
is added to theFormatLabel
pipeline to add the customer's zip code to the label. - The
AddCustomerZipCode
pipe implements theIPipe
interface with theFormatLabelParameter
andFormatLabelResult
object types. - The
Order
property is set to 3000 to ensure the new pipe executes after the existing pipes in theFormatLabel
pipeline. - The
Execute
method checks if the customer has a postal code and appends it to the label if it does.
Replacing a pipe
- To replace an existing pipe, the new pipe must implement the
IPipe
interface, return a result from theExecute
method, specify an order using theOrder
property, and be named the same as the pipe being replaced. - The new pipe must use the same
TIn
andTOut
types as the pipe being replaced.
Example of replacing a pipe
- The example in the text replaces the
FormatLabel
pipe with a new one that has the same name.
Best practice
- When replacing a pipe, it is best practice to match the order value of the original pipe.
