Chute works like a pipeline operator for sending data through functions and methods in a dot-notation style.

// =============================================================
// The demo after this section uses these pseudo functions
function add_one(x){ return x + 1 }
const object_of_fns = { two: x => x * 2, three: x => x * 3/*…*/}
const NG_append = b => a => a + b
const NG_sum = { add : b => a => a + b, minus: b => a => a - b }
const NG_wrap = x => [x]
const NG_index = n => l => l[n]
// =============================================================
// Chutes access globals and same-scope items without setup.
chute// Optional setup lets all chutes access non-global items.
.feed({// Feed gives all chutes access to functions & libraries:
append: NG_append,// This line provides a function. [^0]
times: object_of_fns,// This line gives a library of FNs [^1].
// The line also sets a custom name to access the library by.
}).lift({// Lift lets all chutes call library functions by name.
NG_sum// This line gives an object of functions to lift [^2].
})//Any chute anywhere in a project can now access these items.
// =============================================================
/* KEY:[FN=Function][NG=Non-global] */ const demo = /* Value:
Start a chute with a seed value */ chute(7) /* 7
Call any global functions */ .add_one /* 8
Use any built-in Chute method */ .log /* 8
Log current data with extra args */ .log('Note') /* 8
Call a NG nested FN by path [^1] */ .times.two /* 16
Call a NG library FN by name [^2] */ .add(64) /* 80
Use any method of current data */ .toString /* "80"
Use any global native JS functions */ .parseInt /* 80
Call any NG not-setup FN in scope… */ .do(NG_wrap) /* [80]
…More calls to it can dot-call */ .NG_wrap /* [[80]]
Pipe data through FN sub-chains */ .do( /*
Use inline functions if needed */ x=>x[0], /* [80]
Each FN's return feeds the next FN */ NG_index(0) /* 80
Hop between sub-chains & dot calls */ ) /*
Use NG FNs from anywhere [^0] */ .append('!') /* "80!"
End a chute with an empty call */ () /* "80!"
Use the chute value */ console.log({demo})
// MORE FEATURES ===============================================
// Argument placeholder Give current data as argument N
// Current value token Use data in inline expressions
// TAP Run side effects and ignore returns
// PICK Run if-else FNs on current data
// 0 ARG STYLE OPTIONS =========================================
// Pipeline (deduce calls) .reverse.JSON.stringify.log()
// Dot notation (explicit) .reverse().JSON.stringify().log()
// Both equate to .reverse > JSON.stringify > log
