use Xtompie\Pipe\Pipe;

$result = Pipe::new('  <h1>Hello World</h1>  ')
    ->trim()
    ->lower()
    ->ucfirst()
    ->htmlspecialchars()
    ->get();

echo $result;

The output will be: Hello world

Creating a specific transformation pipeline

You can extend the Pipe class to create a specific pipeline with custom methods.

<?php

use Xtompie\Pipe\Pipe;

class CustomPipe extends Pipe
{
    public function reverseAndUpper(): static
    {
        return $this->reverse()->upper();
    }
}

$result = CustomPipe::new('Hello World')
    ->reverseAndUpper()
    ->get();

echo $result;

The output will be: DLROW OLLEH
