 ## Basic usage
 
 Chaining functions will cause them to execute one after another, passing the output from each function as the input to the next, returning the final output at the end of the chain.
+```ts
+import { chain } from 'radash'
+
+const add = (y: number) => (x: number) => x + y
+const mult = (y: number) => (x: number) => x * y
+const addFive = add(5)
+const double = mult(2)
+
+const chained = chain(addFive, double)
+
+chained(0) // => 10
+chained(7) // => 24
+```
 
+### More example
 ```ts
 import { chain } from 'radash'
 
-const genesis = () => 0
-const addFive = (num: number) => num + 5
-const twoX = (num: number) => num * 2
+type User = { id: number; name: string }
+const users: User[] = [
+  { id: 1, name: 'John Doe' },
+  { id: 2, name: 'John Smith' },
+  { id: 3, name: 'John Wick' }
+]
+const getName = <T extends { name: string }>(item: T) => item.name
+const upperCase: (x: string) => Uppercase<string> = (text: string) => text.toUpperCase() as Uppercase<string>
 
-const chained = chain(genesis, addFive, twoX)
+const getUpperName = chain<User, Uppercase<string>>(getName, upperCase)
+//                     ^ Use chain function here
 
-chained() // => 10
+getUpperName(users[0])                  // => 'JOHN DOE'
+users.map((user) => getUpperName(user)) // => ['JOHN DOE', 'JOHN SMITH', 'JOHN WICK']
+users.map(getUpperName)                 // => ['JOHN DOE', 'JOHN SMITH', 'JOHN WICK']
