## Installation & Usage

Simply add `railway` to your list of dependencies in your `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:railway, "~> 1.1"}
  ]
end
```

run `mix deps.get` and `use Railway` in your Module

```elixir
defmodule MyModule do
  use Railway

  def my_func do
    "https://www.example.com/api"
    ~>> Req.get()
    ~>> Map.get(:body)
    ~>> Jason.decode()
    ~>> Map.get("results")
  end
end
```

## How does ~>> work?

The `~>>` operator introduces the value of an `{:ok, value}` tuple on the left-hand side
as the first argument to the function call on the right-hand side.

If the tuple on the left-hand side is anything different from `{:ok, value}` like `{:error, reason}`
the `~>>` operator will just return the left-hand side and not execute the function call on the right.

If the expression on the left-hand side is not a tuple, the `~>>` operator will behave just like `|>` does.
