Clean Up Complex Multi-Step Operations with Illuminate Pipeline

Process complex data sequences or multi-stage order checks through Laravel's built-in Pipeline facade to replace massive controller methods.

When processing multi-stage workflows (like order checkout validation or user onboarding steps), controllers accumulate giant if blocks. Laravel's Pipeline facade passes objects sequentially through pipe classes.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Pipeline;

$order = Pipeline::send($draftOrder)
    ->through([VerifyStock::class, ApplyDiscountCode::class])
    ->thenReturn();

• Each pipe is a single-responsibility class with a handle() signature
• Easily add, remove, or reorder pipeline stages
• Each step can be unit tested independently
