Credits

The original concept for this method comes from Ruby. https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.3/Object.html#method-i-tap, _(*4)

This code was taken straight from the Laravel framework where I initially discovered this concept. I wanted to use it in other applications so I broke it out into a separate library. Thanks to Laravel, _(*5)
