# Pipeline Package Gap Analysis
## Overview
This document analyzes the gaps between our Pipeline package's actual implementation and our documentation, identifying areas that need implementation or documentation updates.
> **Related Documentation**
> - See [Pipeline Package Specification](pipeline_package_specification.md) for current implementation
> - See [Laravel Compatibility Roadmap](laravel_compatibility_roadmap.md) for overall status
> - See [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md) for integration patterns
> - See [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md) for testing approaches
> - See [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md) for development setup
## Implementation Gaps
### 1. Missing Laravel Features
```dart
// Documented but not implemented:
// 1. Pipeline Hub
class PipelineHub {
// Need to implement:
Pipeline pipeline(String name);
void defaults(List<Pipe> pipes);
Pipeline middleware();
Pipeline bus();
}
// 2. Pipeline Conditions
class Pipeline {
// Need to implement:
Pipeline when(bool Function() callback);
Pipeline unless(bool Function() callback);
Pipeline whenCallback(Function callback);
}
// 3. Pipeline Caching
class Pipeline {
// Need to implement:
void enableCache();
void clearCache();
dynamic getCached(String key);
}
```
### 2. Existing Features Not Documented
```dart
// Implemented but not documented:
// 1. Type Registration
class Pipeline {
/// Registers pipe types for string resolution
void registerPipeType(String name, Type type);
/// Type map for string resolution
final Map<String, Type> _typeMap = {};
}
// 2. Method Invocation
class Pipeline {
/// Invokes methods on pipe instances
Future<dynamic> invokeMethod(
dynamic instance,
String methodName,
List<dynamic> arguments
);
/// Sets method to call on pipes
Pipeline via(String method);
}
// 3. Exception Handling
class Pipeline {
/// Logger for pipeline
final Logger _logger;
/// Handles exceptions in pipeline
dynamic handleException(dynamic passable, Object e);
}
```
### 3. Integration Points Not Documented
```dart
// 1. Container Integration
class Pipeline {
/// Container reference
final Container? _container;
/// Gets container instance
Container getContainer();
/// Sets container instance
Pipeline setContainer(Container container);
}
// 2. Reflection Integration
class Pipeline {
/// Resolves pipe types using mirrors
Type? _resolvePipeType(String pipeClass) {
try {
for (var lib in currentMirrorSystem().libraries.values) {
// Reflection logic...
}
} catch (_) {}
}
}
// 3. Logging Integration
class Pipeline {
/// Logger instance
final Logger _logger;
/// Logs pipeline events
void _logPipelineEvent(String message, [Object? error]);
}
```
## Documentation Gaps
### 1. Missing API Documentation
```dart
// Need to document:
/// Registers a pipe type for string resolution.
///
/// This allows pipes to be specified by string names in the through() method.
///
/// Example:
/// ```dart
/// pipeline.registerPipeType('auth', AuthMiddleware);
/// pipeline.through(['auth']);
/// ```
void registerPipeType(String name, Type type);
/// Sets the method to be called on pipe instances.
///
/// By default, the 'handle' method is called. This method allows
/// customizing which method is called on each pipe.
///
/// Example:
/// ```dart
/// pipeline.via('process').through([MyPipe]);
/// // Will call process() instead of handle()
/// ```
Pipeline via(String method);
```
### 2. Missing Integration Examples
```dart
// Need examples for:
// 1. Container Integration
var pipeline = Pipeline(container)
..through([
AuthMiddleware,
container.make<LoggingMiddleware>(),
'validation' // Resolved from container
]);
// 2. Exception Handling
pipeline.through([
(passable, next) async {
try {
return await next(passable);
} catch (e) {
logger.error('Pipeline error', e);
throw PipelineException(e.toString());
}
}
]);
// 3. Method Customization
pipeline.via('process')
.through([
ProcessingPipe(), // Will call process() instead of handle()
ValidationPipe()
]);
```
### 3. Missing Test Coverage
```dart
// Need tests for:
void main() {
group('Type Registration', () {
test('resolves string pipes to types', () {
var pipeline = Pipeline(container);
pipeline.registerPipeType('auth', AuthMiddleware);
await pipeline
.through(['auth'])
.send(request)
.then(handler);
verify(() => container.make<AuthMiddleware>()).called(1);
});
});
group('Method Invocation', () {
test('calls custom methods on pipes', () {
var pipeline = Pipeline(container);
var pipe = MockPipe();
await pipeline
.via('process')
.through([pipe])
.send(data)
.then(handler);
verify(() => pipe.process(any, any)).called(1);
});
});
}
```
## Implementation Priority
1. **High Priority**
- Pipeline hub (Laravel compatibility)
- Pipeline conditions (Laravel compatibility)
- Better exception handling
2. **Medium Priority**
- Pipeline caching
- Better type resolution
- Performance optimizations
3. **Low Priority**
- Additional helper methods
- Extended testing utilities
- Debug/profiling tools
## Next Steps
1. **Implementation Tasks**
- Add pipeline hub
- Add pipeline conditions
- Add caching support
- Improve exception handling
2. **Documentation Tasks**
- Document type registration
- Document method invocation
- Document exception handling
- Add integration examples
3. **Testing Tasks**
- Add type registration tests
- Add method invocation tests
- Add exception handling tests
- Add integration tests

1. Start implementing missing features?
2. Update documentation for existing features?
3. Create test cases for missing coverage?
## Development Guidelines
### 1. Getting Started
Before implementing pipeline features:
1. Review [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md)
2. Check [Laravel Compatibility Roadmap](laravel_compatibility_roadmap.md)
3. Follow [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md)
4. Use [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md)
5. Review [Pipeline Package Specification](pipeline_package_specification.md)
### 2. Implementation Process
For each pipeline feature:
1. Write tests following [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md)
2. Implement following Laravel patterns
3. Document following [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md#documentation)
4. Integrate following [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md)
### 3. Quality Requirements
All implementations must:
1. Pass all tests (see [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md))
2. Meet Laravel compatibility requirements
3. Follow integration patterns (see [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md))
4. Match specifications in [Pipeline Package Specification](pipeline_package_specification.md)
### 4. Integration Considerations
When implementing pipeline features:
1. Follow patterns in [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md)
2. Ensure Laravel compatibility per [Laravel Compatibility Roadmap](laravel_compatibility_roadmap.md)
3. Use testing approaches from [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md)
4. Follow development setup in [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md)
### 5. Performance Guidelines
Pipeline system must:
1. Handle nested pipelines efficiently
2. Minimize memory usage in long pipelines
3. Support async operations
4. Scale with number of stages
5. Meet performance targets in [Laravel Compatibility Roadmap](laravel_compatibility_roadmap.md#performance-benchmarks)
### 6. Testing Requirements
Pipeline tests must:
1. Cover all pipeline types
2. Test stage ordering
3. Verify error handling
4. Check conditional execution
5. Follow patterns in [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md)
### 7. Documentation Requirements
Pipeline documentation must:
1. Explain pipeline patterns
2. Show integration examples
3. Cover error handling
4. Include performance tips
5. Follow standards in [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md#documentation)
