+# pyflowstep
+
+A lightweight, typed Python library for composing functions into readable, reusable **flows** — a functional replacement for the fluent-interface (method-chaining) pattern, with flows that can be defined, validated and stored as **JSON**.
+
+`pyflowstep` focuses on a functional style:
+
+- steps are plain functions: `(subject, *args, **kwargs) -> subject`
+- flows are immutable values that compose with `>>`
+- step arguments are validated and processed when a flow is **built**, not halfway through running it
+- registry-based registration keeps steps organized and discoverable
+- flow definitions can be compiled from dictionaries or JSON
+- every registry can describe its flow language as a JSON Schema
+
+It pairs naturally with its siblings [pyspecification](https://github.com/aaltatan/pyspecification) (predicates) and [pyformula](https://github.com/aaltatan/pyformula) (formulas), and has **zero dependencies**.
+
+---
+
+## Why use pyflowstep?
+
+A fluent API makes you put every operation on the class and `return self` from each method:
+
+```python
+page.navigate("https://www.google.com").fill("input[name=q]", "pyflowstep").click("#go").wait("#result")
+```
+
+That couples *what can be done* to *one class*, you cannot store the chain, reuse half of it, build it from data, or add an operation without editing the class.
+
+With `pyflowstep`, operations are small functions and the chain is a value:
+
+```python
+search = navigate("https://www.google.com") >> fill("input[name=q]", "pyflowstep") >> click("#go")
+
+search(page)                      # run it
+search >> wait("#result")         # extend it (a new flow, `search` is unchanged)
+login >> search >> logout         # combine flows
+```
+
+…and the same flow can come from JSON:
+
+```json
+[
+  {"name": "navigate", "args": ["https://www.google.com"]},
+  {"name": "fill", "args": ["input[name=q]", "pyflowstep"]},
+  {"name": "click", "kwargs": {"selector": "#go"}}
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install pyflowstep
+```
+
+or with uv:
+
+```bash
+uv add pyflowstep
+```
+
+Requires Python 3.12+.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from typing import Any
+
+from pyflowstep import step
+
+
+class Page:
+    def navigate(self, url: str) -> None:
+        print(f"Navigating to {url}")
+
+    def click(self, selector: str) -> None:
+        print(f"Clicking on {selector}")
+
+    def fill(self, selector: str, value: Any) -> None:
+        print(f"Filling {selector} with {value}")
+
+
+@step
+def navigate(page: Page, url: str) -> Page:
+    page.navigate(url)
+    return page
+
+
+@step
+def fill(page: Page, selector: str, value: Any) -> Page:
+    page.fill(selector, value)
+    return page
+
+
+@step
+def click(page: Page, selector: str) -> Page:
+    page.click(selector)
+    return page
+
+
+search = navigate("https://www.google.com") >> fill("input[name=q]", 1111) >> click("#go")
+
+print(search)  # Flow(navigate >> fill >> click)
+search(Page())
+# Navigating to https://www.google.com
+# Filling input[name=q] with 1111
+# Clicking on #go
+```
+
+---
+
+## Core concepts
+
+### Flow
+
+A `Flow[T]` is an immutable sequence of `T -> T` actions. Calling it threads the subject through every action in order.
+
+```python
+from pyflowstep import Flow, compose
+
+increment = Flow[int](lambda n: n + 1)
+double = Flow[int](lambda n: n * 2)
+
+(increment >> double)(3)            # 8
+(double >> increment)(3)            # 7
+compose(increment, double)(3)       # 8, same as increment >> double
+Flow[int]()(3)                      # 3, an empty flow is the identity
+```
+
+- `>>` accepts flows **and** plain callables, on either side: `flow >> fn`, `fn >> flow`.
+- Composition flattens: `(a >> b) >> c` and `a >> (b >> c)` have the same three actions.
+- Flows support `len()`, iteration, `.actions` and a readable `repr`.
+
+### step
+
+`@step` turns a function whose **first positional parameter is the subject** into a *step factory*. Calling the factory with the remaining arguments returns a single-step flow.
+
+```python
+from pyflowstep import step
+
+
+@step
+def add(total: int, amount: int) -> int:
+    return total + amount
+
+
+@step
+def multiply(total: int, factor: int) -> int:
+    return total * factor
+
+
+pipeline = add(2) >> multiply(10) >> add(amount=1)
+pipeline      # Flow(add >> multiply >> add)
+pipeline(1)   # 31
+```
+
+`step` and `tap` do one thing: turn a function into a flow factory. Naming a step and processing its arguments belong to the [registry](#registry).
+
+Arguments are bound against the function signature **immediately**, so mistakes fail fast:
+
+```python
+add()           # MissingArgumentError: missing a required argument: 'amount' for step 'add'
+add(1, 2)       # TooManyArgumentsError: too many positional arguments for step 'add'
+add(1, x=2)     # UnexpectedKeywordArgumentError: got an unexpected keyword argument 'x' ...
+```
+
+### tap
+
+For side-effect steps on a mutable subject, `@tap` ignores the return value and passes the subject on unchanged — no more `return page` boilerplate:
+
+```python
+from pyflowstep import tap
+
+
+@tap
+def click(page: Page, selector: str) -> None:
+    page.click(selector)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Registry
+
+`StepsRegistry[T]` collects named steps for one subject type. It is the vocabulary of your flow language: the compiler and the JSON schema only know about the steps registered in it.
+
+```python
+from pyflowstep import StepsRegistry
+
+page_steps = StepsRegistry[Page]()
+
+
+@page_steps.tap()
+def navigate(page: Page, url: str) -> None:
+    """Open a url in the page."""
+    page.navigate(url)
+
+
+@page_steps.tap()
+def click(page: Page, selector: str) -> None:
+    """Click the element matching a CSS selector."""
+    page.click(selector)
+
+
+@page_steps.tap(name="type", processors={"value": str})
+def fill(page: Page, selector: str, value: str) -> None:
+    """Type a value into a field."""
+    page.fill(selector, value)
+
+
+@page_steps.tap(hidden=True)
+def debug_dump(page: Page) -> None:
+    """Python-only helper, never exposed to JSON."""
+
+
+page_steps["click"]("#go")        # look up a step factory by name
+"type" in page_steps              # True
+list(page_steps.steps)            # ['navigate', 'click', 'type']  (hidden steps are excluded)
+
+page_steps.register(lambda page: page, name="noop")  # register without a decorator
+```
+
+| Method / attribute                                               | Description                                                 |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `step(name=, description=, processors=, hidden=)`                | Decorator for `(subject, ...) -> subject` functions         |
+| `tap(name=, description=, processors=, hidden=)`                 | Decorator for side-effect functions (return value ignored)  |
+| `register(fn, *, name=, description=, processors=, hidden=, passthrough=)` | Register without decorator syntax                 |
+| `steps`                                                          | Read-only mapping of visible steps                          |
+| `registry[name]`, `name in registry`, `len()`, iteration         | Lookup over visible steps                                   |
+
+- `name` is the step's public name: the compiler looks it up, and `repr` and argument errors show it (`Flow(type)` above, not `Flow(fill)`).
+- `processors` transform the raw arguments every time the factory is called, before they reach the step. See [Processors](#processors).
+- `description` overrides the docstring, which becomes the step description in the JSON schema.
+
+---
+
+## Processors
+
+Processors transform raw arguments before a step is built. They matter most for JSON and web forms, where every value arrives as a string, number, boolean, list, object or null, while your steps want dates, decimals, enums and clean text.
+
+Processors are a registry option: pass `processors=` to `registry.step()`, `registry.tap()` or `registry.register()`.
+
+### The four forms
+
+| `processors=`                              | Effect                                                         |
+| ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| *(omitted, `None`)*                        | Arguments reach the step exactly as given                      |
+| `fn`                                       | `fn` is applied to **every** argument                          |
+| `{"name": fn, ...}`                        | Only the named arguments are processed, the rest are untouched |
+| `{"name": fn, ...: other}`                 | The named arguments use their own processor, `...` covers **all the others** |
+
+```python
+from decimal import Decimal
+
+
+@page_steps.tap()                                          # nothing to process
+def click(page: Page, selector: str) -> None: ...
+
+
+@barista.step(processors=Decimal)                          # every argument
+def price_between(drink: Drink, low: Decimal, high: Decimal) -> Drink: ...
+
+
+@page_steps.tap(processors={"timeout": float})             # only `timeout`, `selector` untouched
+def wait(page: Page, selector: str, timeout: float = 5.0) -> None: ...
+
+
+@barista.step(processors={"pumps": int, ...: str.strip})   # `pumps`, and `...` for the rest
+def add_syrup(drink: Drink, flavor: str, pumps: int = 1) -> Drink: ...
+```
+
+### The `...` key
+
+`...` (Python's `Ellipsis`) reads as "every argument not named here", just like in `tuple[int, ...]`. A named entry always wins over `...`, and a mapping holding only `...` behaves like a single callable. Because `...` can never be a parameter name, it can never clash with one.
+
+It also covers the extra keywords a step collects with `**kwargs`, which is handy for open-ended filters:
+
+```python
+def normalize(text: str) -> str:
+    return text.strip().lower()
+
+
+@catalog_steps.step(processors={"in_stock": parse_bool, ...: normalize})
+def where(products: Catalog, *, in_stock: bool = False, **fields: str) -> Catalog: ...
+
+
+where(in_stock="yes", brand=" SONIC ")   # in_stock=True, brand="sonic"
+```
+
+### Which values are processed
+
+- A processor for a parameter applies whether the value was passed positionally **or** by keyword.
+- For `*args` it applies to each item. For `**kwargs`, each extra keyword is looked up by its own name, falling back to `...`.
+- Default values are never processed: only arguments that were actually passed go through a processor.
+- The subject (the step's first parameter) is never processed, since it is not a step argument.
+
+### When they run
+
+Processors run **once per factory call**, while the flow is being built, not every time the flow runs:
+
+```python
+flow = add_syrup("  Vanilla ", "2")   # processors run here: flavor="Vanilla", pumps=2
+flow(drink)                           # the step runs with the processed values
+flow(another_drink)                   # no processing again
+```
+
+The arguments are first bound to the step signature, so a missing or extra argument is reported as an `ArgumentError` before any processor runs.
+
+### Errors
+
+Mistakes in the `processors` option are caught **when the step is registered**, with `InvalidProcessorsError`:
+
+```python
+@page_steps.tap(processors={"timout": float})   # typo
+def wait(page: Page, selector: str, timeout: float = 5.0) -> None: ...
+# InvalidProcessorsError: Processors of step 'wait' name unknown parameters ['timout'], available parameters: selector, timeout
+```
+
+| Problem                                        | Message                                                          |
+| ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| A key is not a parameter of the step           | `... name unknown parameters ['timout'], available parameters: ...` |
+| A value is not callable, e.g. `{"pumps": "int"}` | `... must be callables, not for ['pumps']`                       |
+| Neither a callable nor a mapping               | `... must be a callable or a mapping of parameter names to callables, got ...` |
+
+Steps that accept `**kwargs` allow any key, since any keyword name is valid for them.
+
+A processor that fails on a value raises `ProcessArgumentError`, chained to the original exception. Inside a compiled flow it also carries the JSON path of the step:
+
+```text
+pyflowstep.exceptions.ProcessArgumentError: Argument 'price' with value 'cheap' failed to process, [<class 'decimal.ConversionSyntax'>]
+at $[0]
+```
+
+See [`examples/processors.py`](examples/processors.py) for every form working together on data from a web form.
+
+---
+
+## Compiling flows from JSON
+
+`FlowCompiler` turns a flow definition — a list of step dictionaries — into a `Flow`.
+
+```python
+from pyflowstep import FlowCompiler
+
+compiler = FlowCompiler(page_steps.steps)
+
+login = compiler.compile(
+    [
+        {"name": "navigate", "args": ["https://example.com/login"]},
+        {"name": "type", "args": ["#email", "ada@example.com"]},
+        {"name": "click", "kwargs": {"selector": "button[type=submit]"}},
+    ],
+)
+
+login(Page())
+```
+
+The compiler takes already-parsed data. Reading JSON, YAML, a database row or an API payload is up to you:
+
+```python
+import json
+from pathlib import Path
+
+login = compiler.compile(json.loads(Path("login.json").read_text()))
+```
+
+Each step dictionary has this shape — only `name` is required:
+
+```json
+{"name": "fill", "args": ["#email"], "kwargs": {"value": "ada@example.com"}}
+```
+
+Everything is validated while compiling, before any step runs. Errors carry a note with their JSON path:
+
+```text
+pyflowstep.exceptions.ProcessArgumentError: Argument 'url' with value 'http://insecure.example.com' failed to process, only https urls are allowed
+at $[1]
+```
+
+| Problem                                          | Exception                                              |
+| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Not a list / malformed step dict                 | `InvalidFlowDefinitionError`                           |
+| Unknown or hidden step name                      | `StepDoesNotExistError` (lists the available steps)    |
+| Missing / extra / duplicated arguments           | `MissingArgumentError`, `TooManyArgumentsError`, ...   |
+| A processor rejects a value                      | `ProcessArgumentError`                                 |
+
+A compiled flow is an ordinary `Flow`, so it composes with Python steps: `login >> click("#profile")`.
+
+---
+
+## JSON Schema
+
+Describe your flow language so a UI, a validator, or an LLM can produce valid flows:
+
+```python
+import json
+
+from pyflowstep import get_flow_json_schema, get_step_json_schema
+
+print(json.dumps(get_flow_json_schema(page_steps.steps), indent=2))
+```
+
+Output, trimmed to the `click` step:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
+  "type": "array",
+  "items": {
+    "oneOf": [
+      {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+          "name": {"const": "click"},
+          "args": {"type": "array", "prefixItems": [{"type": "string"}], "items": false},
+          "kwargs": {
+            "type": "object",
+            "properties": {"selector": {"type": "string"}},
+            "required": [],
+            "additionalProperties": false
+          }
+        },
+        "required": ["name"],
+        "additionalProperties": false,
+        "description": "Click the element matching a CSS selector."
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Supported annotations: `str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`, `None`, `Decimal`, `datetime`, `date`, `time`, `UUID`, `list`/`tuple`/`set`/`frozenset`, `dict`, `Literal`, `Enum`, unions, `Annotated`, `TypedDict`, and `type` aliases. Anything else maps to `{}` (any value). JSON-compatible default values are included as `default`.
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+Runnable examples live in [`examples/`](examples):
+
+- [`examples/browser.py`](examples/browser.py) — the `Page` automation above: `tap` steps, an https-only processor, reusable sub-flows and a JSON login scenario.
+
+  ```bash
+  uv run python -m examples.browser
+  ```
+
+- [`examples/coffee.py`](examples/coffee.py) — a coffee shop where every step returns a **new** immutable `Drink`. The menu is JSON, orders are customized with Python steps, and a hidden staff-only `discount` step is invisible to the menu.
+
+  ```bash
+  uv run python -m examples.coffee
+  ```
+
+  ```python
+  order("latte", size("L"), add_syrup("vanilla")).describe()
+  # 'L espresso, 1 shot(s), 200ml whole milk, 1x vanilla syrup -> $3.65'
+  ```
+
+- [`examples/processors.py`](examples/processors.py) — every `processors` form side by side, including `...` for "all other arguments" and for `**kwargs`. Shop filters arrive from a web form as raw strings (`"4"`, `"yes"`, `" SONIC "`) and are turned into typed, clean arguments:
+
+  ```bash
+  uv run python -m examples.processors
+  ```
+
+  ```python
+  @catalog_steps.step(processors={"min_stars": float, ...: normalize})
+  def search(products: Catalog, text: str, min_stars: float = 0) -> Catalog: ...
+
+  @catalog_steps.step(processors={"in_stock": parse_bool, ...: normalize})
+  def where(products: Catalog, *, in_stock: bool = False, **fields: str) -> Catalog: ...
+  ```
+
+### Working with pyspecification and pyformula
+
+Predicates and formulas are just callables, so they plug straight into steps:
+
+```python
+from dataclasses import dataclass, replace
+from decimal import Decimal
+
+from pyformula import variable
+from pyspecification import object_rule
+from pyflowstep import step
+
+
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class Invoice:
+    subtotal: Decimal
+    tax: Decimal = Decimal(0)
+    notes: tuple[str, ...] = ()
+
+
+@object_rule()
+def is_large(invoice: Invoice, limit: Decimal) -> bool:
+    return invoice.subtotal >= limit
+
+
+@variable()
+def subtotal(invoice: Invoice) -> Decimal:
+    return invoice.subtotal
+
+
+@step
+def note_if(invoice: Invoice, rule, note: str) -> Invoice:
+    return replace(invoice, notes=(*invoice.notes, note)) if rule(invoice) else invoice
+
+
+@step
+def apply_tax(invoice: Invoice, formula) -> Invoice:
+    return replace(invoice, tax=Decimal(str(formula(invoice))))
+
+
+checkout = note_if(is_large(Decimal(100)), "needs approval") >> apply_tax(round(subtotal * 0.15, 2))
+```
