2522 Pipeline Spec A1346c91

Pipeline Spec

PipelineSpec provides a fluent API for constructing middleware pipelines that can be compiled into middleware instances or exported as configuration files.

Quick Example

from pydantic_ai_middleware import PipelineSpec
from pydantic_ai_middleware.builder import MiddlewarePipelineCompiler

# Build a pipeline spec with fluent API
spec = (
    PipelineSpec()
    .add_type("logging", {"level": "DEBUG"})
    .add_type("rate_limit", {"max_requests": 100})
    .add_when(
        predicate="is_admin",
        then=[{"type": "admin_audit"}],
        else_=[{"type": "user_audit"}],
    )
)

# Export to YAML file
spec.save("middleware-pipeline.yaml")

# Or compile directly to middleware instances
compiler = MiddlewarePipelineCompiler(registry)
middleware_list = spec.compile(compiler)

Supported Node Types

• type: A single middleware by registered name
• chain: Sequential execution of multiple nodes
• parallel: Concurrent execution with result aggregation
• when: Conditional branching based on predicates

Export as JSON or YAML

from pydantic_ai_middleware.pipeline_spec import PipelineSpec

PipelineSpec().add_type("logging").save("pipeline.json")
PipelineSpec().add_type("logging").save("pipeline.yaml")

# Or get as string
yaml_str = PipelineSpec().add_type("logging").dump("yaml")
json_str = PipelineSpec().add_type("logging").dump("json")
