Xenocline, as a library focused on creating a system to execute a Processor Pipeline, can be described as follows:

Xenocline provides a streamlined, modular framework to manage and execute Processor Pipelines—sequences of computational steps or tasks executed systematically to process data or events. It allows developers to define, connect, and orchestrate individual processors into efficient workflows, supporting clear separation of concerns, scalability, and ease of maintenance.

Core Concepts:

1. Processor: Individual computational unit responsible for a specific, well-defined operation (e.g., parsing data, validating inputs, transforming records).

2. Pipeline: A structured sequence or graph of processors, allowing data or events to flow through multiple processing stages seamlessly.

3. Execution Engine: Manages the lifecycle of processors within a pipeline, coordinating initialization, execution order, concurrency, error handling, and resource management.

4. Pipeline Definition: Clear, configurable declarations for how processors interact, ensuring pipelines are easy to define, understand, modify, and debug.

Why Xenocline?

• Modularity: Easy plug-and-play processors to extend or modify pipeline behavior.
• Robustness: Handles complex execution scenarios with built-in error handling and resource management.
• Scalability: Designed for high performance, enabling parallel execution and efficient handling of large-scale processing.
• Developer-friendly: Clean, intuitive APIs for building and managing pipelines.

This architecture makes Xenocline ideal for applications like data transformation, event handling, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, middleware orchestration, and automation workflows—anywhere a structured pipeline execution model is advantageous.

Example Usage

Here's a conceptual example in TypeScript demonstrating how to define and execute a basic Xenocline process. This simple pipeline takes a number, adds one, multiplies by two, and then converts the result to a string.

import { Input, Output, PhaseNode, Process, Phase, executeProcess, Context, ProcessResults, PhaseResults, Termination, createPhase, createPhaseNode, createConnection, createTermination, createProcess, Beginning, createBeginning } from '@maxdrellin/xenocline';

// --- 1. Define Concrete Phase Implementations ---

// Phase 1: Adds 1 to the input number
const addOneExecute = async (input: Input): Promise<Output> => {
    // Assuming input has a 'value' property for this example
    const inputValue = (input as any).value;
    console.log(`AddOnePhase: Received ${inputValue}`);
    const result = inputValue + 1;
    console.log(`AddOnePhase: Outputting ${result}`);
    return { value: result };
}
const addOnePhase: Phase = createPhase('AddOne', { execute: addOneExecute });

// Phase 2: Multiplies the input number by 2
const multiplyByTwoExecute = async (input: Input): Promise<Output> => {
    const inputValue = (input as any).value;
    console.log(`MultiplyByTwoPhase: Received ${inputValue}`);
    const result = inputValue * 2;
    console.log(`MultiplyByTwoPhase: Outputting ${result}`);
    return { value: result };
}
const multiplyByTwoPhase: Phase = createPhase('MultiplyByTwo', { execute: multiplyByTwoExecute });

// Phase 3: Converts the number to a string
const stringifyExecute = async (input: Input): Promise<Output> => {
    const inputValue = (input as any).value;
    console.log(`StringifyPhase: Received ${inputValue}`);
    const result = `The final number is: ${inputValue}`;
    console.log(`StringifyPhase: Outputting "${result}"`);
    return { value: result };
}
const stringifyPhase: Phase = createPhase('Stringify', { execute: stringifyExecute });

// --- 2. Instantiate Phases (already defined as objects) ---
// No explicit instantiation step needed like with classes,
// addOnePhase, multiplyByTwoPhase, and stringifyPhase are ready to be used.

// --- 3. Define PhaseNodes ---
const toNodeBConnection = createConnection('conn1', 'nodeB');
const nodeA: PhaseNode = createPhaseNode(
    'nodeA',
    addOnePhase,
    { next: [toNodeBConnection] }
);

const toNodeCConnection = createConnection('conn2', 'nodeC');
const nodeB: PhaseNode = createPhaseNode(
    'nodeB',
    multiplyByTwoPhase,
    { next: [toNodeCConnection] }
);

const endTermination = createTermination('end', { terminate: async (output: Output) => output });
const nodeC: PhaseNode = createPhaseNode('nodeC', stringifyPhase, { next: endTermination });

const phases = {
    nodeA: nodeA,
    nodeB: nodeB,
    nodeC: nodeC,
};

// --- 4. Define the Process ---
const mySimpleProcess: Process = createProcess(
    'MySimpleProcess',
    {
        phases: phases,
    }, // Add any relevant context
);

// --- 5. Execute the Process ---
async function runExample() {
    const initialProcessInput: Input = { value: 10 }; // Generic input
    console.log(
        `Executing process "${mySimpleProcess.name}" with initial input:`,
        initialProcessInput
    );

    try {
        const beginning: Beginning<Input, Context> = createBeginning('nodeA', 'nodeA');
        const [results, phaseResults, context]: [ProcessResults, PhaseResults, Context] = await executeProcess(
            mySimpleProcess,
            beginning,
            { input: initialProcessInput }
        );

        console.log("\nProcess Execution Results:");
        for (const nodeId in phaseResults) {
            console.log(`Output from ${nodeId}:`, phaseResults[nodeId]);
        }

        // Example: Accessing a specific end phase result
        if (results['end']) {
            console.log("\nFinal output from StringifyPhase (nodeC):", (results['end'] as any).value);
        }

    } catch (error) {
        console.error("\nError during process execution:", error);
    }
}

// Run the example
runExample();

// 'Executing process "MySimpleProcess" with initial input:', { value: 10 });
// 'AddOnePhase: Received 10');
// 'AddOnePhase: Outputting 11');
// 'MultiplyByTwoPhase: Received 11');
// 'MultiplyByTwoPhase: Outputting 22');
// 'StringifyPhase: Received 22');
// 'StringifyPhase: Outputting "The final number is: 22"');
// '\nProcess Execution Results:');
// 'Output from nodeA:', { value: 11 });
// 'Output from nodeB:', { value: 22 });
// 'Output from nodeC:', { value: 'The final number is: 22' });
// '\nFinal output from StringifyPhase (nodeC):', 'The final number is: 22');

Creating a Process with Multiple End States

This example illustrates how to configure a Xenocline process that can lead to multiple distinct end states. We'll demonstrate this by having an initial phase node branch its output to two subsequent, independent processing paths, each culminating in a unique result.

        console.log(`StringifyPhase: Outputting "${result}"`);
        return { value: result };
    }
});

// Phase 4: Squares the input number

const nodeB: PhaseNode = createPhaseNode('nodeB', multiplyByTwoPhase, { next: [toNodeCConnection] });

const endTermination: Termination = createTermination('end');
const nodeC: PhaseNode = createPhaseNode('nodeC', stringifyPhase, { next: endTermination });

const end2Termination: Termination = createTermination('end2');

Modeling a Decision

This example showcases how to implement conditional logic within a Xenocline process using a Decision. A Decision phase allows the pipeline to dynamically choose its next step—either continuing to further processing or terminating based on the output of the preceding phase.

Defining an Aggegrator to Assemble Outputs from Multiple Phases

This example demonstrates how to use an AggregatorNode to combine outputs from multiple parallel processing paths. In this case, we have two paths: one that multiplies a number by 2 and converts it to a string, and another that squares the number. The AggregatorNode waits for both paths to complete and then combines their results into a single output. This is particularly useful when you need to synchronize multiple asynchronous operations and combine their results before proceeding with the next phase of your process.

Registering an Event Handler with a Process Execution

You can now register event handlers when executing a process, providing a powerful way to monitor and react to process execution. This feature enables real-time logging, debugging, and custom event handling throughout the pipeline's lifecycle. By implementing event handlers, you can track phase transitions, monitor execution progress, and respond to specific events as they occur, making it easier to debug and maintain complex processes.
