2 months ago It makes sense to add a dedicated section for pipe in the docs, as it's a useful tool for doing custom things. It happens more often that I point out "you can do this with pipe" and people didn't know that method existed.
Not sure I would call it 'debugging with pipe' though. It's useful for more than just debugging.
A "Pipe" page could be added to the "Transformations" section. This could showcase common patterns for using pipe. The schema assertion could be one, but a more important pattern is when you want to "name" some custom transformations and use them in a chaining fashion. We can include examples for Expr, DataFrame, and LazyFrame.
Description
There have been at least two independent proposals to add the
.assertmethod on DataFrames and Series.As @stinodego explained in a comment https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/issues/14620#issuecomment-2126888941, one can already do this using pipes.
Maybe, debugging with pipes deserves a more prominent place in the docs?
The user guide mentions pipes only in passing (Pipe littering: "Don't").
