pabloh/pathway

Pathway is a Ruby library that provides a plugin-based architecture for building and managing operations with robust error handling. It introduces a Result object for state management and supports extensibility through a plugin system that adds features like validation, authorization, and transactional steps. The system also includes comprehensive RSpec matchers for testing operations and form schemas.

Introduces new RSpec matchers for testing form schemas and operations. The \require\_fields\ and \accept\_optional\_fields\ matchers allow assertions about field presence, optionality, and null-value handling, including chain methods like \allowing\_null\_values\ and \not\_allowing\_null\_values\. Additionally, \succeed\_on\ and \fail\_on\ matchers are added to verify the success or failure of operations, supporting chained assertions on return values, error types, messages, and details.

The library now features a plugins architecture, introducing several new plugins: \auto\_deconstruct\_state\ for automatic state deconstruction, \dry\_validation\ for integrating Dry::Validation 1.0+ with automatic wire support, \responder\ for handling success/failure blocks on operation calls, \sequel\_models\ for fetching and managing Sequel models with configurable search fields and error messages, and \simple\_auth\ for adding authorization blocks. These plugins add new methods and behaviors to operations, such as \transaction\ and \after\_commit\ steps in \sequel\_models\, and \call\ with success/failure handling in \responder\.

The library now provides a Result object with Success and Failure states, allowing for more robust error handling and state management. This change introduces a new way to handle errors and success cases, moving away from previous error handling mechanisms. The Result object includes methods for chaining operations and handling both success and failure scenarios, enhancing the overall reliability of the library.

The library now supports a plugin system where operations can extend functionality via the \plugin\ method, which dynamically loads and applies modules for class, instance, and DSL behavior. This enables new capabilities such as conditional execution with \if\_true\/\if\_false\ (aliased as \guard\), state modification via \set\ with a \:to\ option, and transactional steps via \around\. The \State\ object now supports destructuring and pattern matching, and includes a \use\ method for accessing state values. Additionally, the \Error\ class has been refactored to support default messages and pattern matching, and the \Inflector\ is now backed by \dry-inflector\.

The \bin\ directory was updated to include newly generated Binstubs for various Ruby tools (such as \byebug\, \coderay\, \erb\, \htmldiff\, \irb\, \ldiff\, \pry\, \racc\, \rbs\, \rdbg\, \rdoc\, \ri\, \rspec\, \rubocop\, \ruby-lsp\, \ruby-parse\, \ruby-rewrite\, \sequel\, \yard\, \yri\, and \rake\). Additionally, the \bin/console\ script was modified to use \Pry\ instead of \IRB\ for the interactive console.

Added RSpec matchers for operation results; Added comprehensive test coverage for all plugins; Added comprehensive test coverage for core Pathway components.

The gem now requires Ruby 3.3.0 or higher and replaces the 'inflecto' dependency with 'dry-inflector' (\>= 0.1.0). Development dependencies have been updated to include 'dry-validation' \>= 1.0, 'bundler' \>= 2.4.10, 'rspec' \~\> 3.11, and various new tools like 'rubocop' and 'pry-doc'.

• Redundant authorization methods. Similar to the validation plugin, having authorize and authorize_with creates ambiguity. authorize_with suggests passing objects directly, while authorize takes a state and a 'using' argument. The intent of the 'using' argument vs the 'objs' argument is not immediately distinct in signature.
• Redundant validation methods with unclear distinction. validate takes a state and a 'with' argument, while validate_with takes an input. It is unclear if these are for different stages of execution or if one is a convenience wrapper for the other, leading to potential confusion on which to use.
