View Source Credo.Check.Readability.SinglePipe (Credo v1.6.7)
This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.
Explanation
Pipes (|>) should only be used when piping data through multiple calls.
So while this is fine:
list
|> Enum.take(5)
|> Enum.shuffle
|> evaluate()The code in this example ...
list
|> evaluate()... should be refactored to look like this:
evaluate(list)Using a single |> to invoke functions makes the code harder to read. Instead, write a function call when a pipeline is only one function long.
Like all Readability issues, this one is not a technical concern.
But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making
it easier to follow.
