NAME

Zing::Flow - Loop Step

ABSTRACT

Event-Loop Logic Chain

SYNOPSIS

use Zing::Flow;

my $flow = Zing::Flow->new(name => 'step_1', code => sub {1});

# $flow->execute;

DESCRIPTION

This package provides represents an event-loop step, it is implemented as a simplified linked-list that allows other flows to be appended, prepended, and injected easily, anywhere in the flow.

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:

Zing::Types

my $next = Zing::Flow->new(name => 'step_2', code => sub {2});

$flow->next($next);

$flow->bottom;

execute

execute(Any @args) : Any
