View Source Credo.Check.Readability.SingleFunctionToBlockPipe (Credo v1.7.10)

Basics

This check is disabled by default.

Learn how to enable it via .credo.exs.

This check is tagged :controversial

This means that this check is more opinionated than others and not for everyone's taste.

This check has a base priority of 0 and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

A single pipe (|>) should not be used to pipe into blocks.

The code in this example ...

list
|> length()
|> case do
  0 -> :none
  1 -> :one
  _ -> :many
end

... should be refactored to look like this:

case length(list) do
  0 -> :none
  1 -> :one
  _ -> :many
end

If you want to disallow piping into blocks altogether, use Credo.Check.Readability.BlockPipe.

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.
