Wendy

An elegant way to chain methods in Ruby

Simply include Wendy in the class you want to chain methods in. You now have access to the wend method.

The wend method accepts as its argument the initial parameter for the chain.

You then 'wend' this argument through multiple methods by chaining them with the through and and methods.

When you're done, call result or and_return to get the final result.

Here's an example:

class MathsFunctions
  include Wendy

  def double(x)
    x + x
  end

  def square(x)
    x * x
  end

  def two_x_squared(x)
    wend(x).through(:double).and(:square).and_return
  end

end

MathsFunctions.new.two_x_squared(5) # => 100
