Basic how to use

Add the inFluent namespace to our MonoBehaviour class.

using inFluent;

Now InteliSense will present on any GameObject all avaible extension methods. Let's consider the following example where we setup a GameObject at OnAwake():

public Transform StartLookDirection;
public Vector3 StartScale;
...
OnAwake()
{
    this.gameObject.SetDontDestroyOnLoad()
				    .SetLocalScale(StartScale)
				    .LookAt(StartLookDirection.position);
}

Now we have set three settings with a single statement, much cleaner! Let's move on to a more interesting example, attaching and setting up a Component with a lambda expression:

public Transform StartLookDirection
public AudioClip AmbientMusic;
public float StartAudioSound;
...
OnAwake()
{
    this.gameObject.LookAt(StartLookDirection.position)
				    .AttachComponent<AudioSouce>((r, c) =>
				    {
					    if(r)
					    {
						    c.clip = AmbientMusic;
						    c.loop = true;
						    c.volumen = StartAudioSound;
						    c.Play();
					    }
				    });
}

As you can see, we have attached and setup a Component while also calling another method from inside the lambdas scope!
