# 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
```python
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
```python
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")
```
