The Pipe library is designed to facilitate functional composition and data transformation through a fluent API. At its core, the Pipe Component acts as the central processing unit, encapsulating the logic for defining, chaining, and executing data transformations. Data enters the system via the Data Source/Input, which represents any initial data fed into the Pipe component's primary input interfaces (__call__ or __ror__ methods). The Pipe Component then processes this input, applying a series of defined transformations, and can pass the transformed data to subsequent Pipe instances, forming a pipeline. This architecture promotes a clear data flow, where data is progressively transformed as it moves through the chained Pipe components.
The central processing unit of the Pipe library, responsible for defining, constructing, chaining, executing, and managing individual data transformation stages. It encapsulates the core logic for wrapping functions, handling pipeline execution, and managing instance binding.
