//! Capabilities provide a user-friendly API to request side-effects from the shell.
//!
//! Typically, capabilities provide I/O and host API access. Capabilities are external to the
//! core Crux library. Some are part of the Crux core distribution, others are expected to be built by the
//! community. Apps can also build single-use capabilities where necessary.
//!
//! # Example use
//!
//! A typical use of a capability would look like the following:
//!
//! ```rust
//!# use url::Url;
//!# const API_URL: &str = "";
//!# pub enum Event { Increment, Set(crux_http::Result<crux_http::Response<usize>>) }
//!# #[derive(crux_core::macros::Effect)]
//!# pub struct Capabilities {
//!# pub render: crux_core::render::Render<Event>,
//!# pub http: crux_http::Http<Event>,
//!# }
//!# #[derive(Default)] pub struct Model { count: usize }
//!# #[derive(Default)] pub struct App;
//!#
//!# impl crux_core::App for App {
//!# type Event = Event;
//!# type Model = Model;
//!# type ViewModel = ();
//!# type Capabilities = Capabilities;
//! fn update(&self, event: Self::Event, model: &mut Self::Model, caps: &Self::Capabilities) {
//! match event {
//! //...
//! Event::Increment => {
//! model.count += 1;
//! caps.render.render(); // Render capability
//!
//! let base = Url::parse(API_URL).unwrap();
//! let url = base.join("/inc").unwrap();
//! caps.http.post(url).expect_json().send(Event::Set); // HTTP client capability
//! }
//! Event::Set(_) => todo!(),
//! }
//! }
//!# fn view(&self, model: &Self::Model) {
//!# unimplemented!()
//!# }
//!# }
//! ```
//!
//! Capabilities don't _perform_ side-effects themselves, they request them from the Shell. As a consequence
//! the capability calls within the `update` function **only queue up the requests**. The side-effects themselves
//! are performed concurrently and don't block the update function.
//!
//! In order to use a capability, the app needs to include it in its `Capabilities` associated type and `WithContext`
//! trait implementation (which can be provided by the `crux_core::macros::Effect` macro). For example:
//!
//! ```rust
//! mod root {
//!
//! // An app module which can be reused in different apps
//! mod my_app {
//! use crux_core::{capability::CapabilityContext, App, render::Render};
//! use crux_core::macros::Effect;
//! use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!
//! #[derive(Default)]
//! pub struct MyApp;
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! pub struct Event;
//!
//! // The `Effect` derive macro generates an `Effect` type that is used by the
//! // Shell to dispatch side-effect requests to the right capability implementation
//! // (and, in some languages, checking that all necessary capabilities are implemented)
//! #[derive(Effect)]
//! pub struct Capabilities {
//! pub render: Render<Event>
//! }
//!
//! impl App for MyApp {
//! type Model = ();
//! type Event = Event;
//! type ViewModel = ();
//! type Capabilities = Capabilities;
//!
//! fn update(&self, event: Event, model: &mut (), caps: &Capabilities) {
//! caps.render.render();
//! }
//!
//! fn view(&self, model: &()) {
//! ()
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Implementing a capability
//!
//! Capabilities provide an interface to request side-effects. The interface has asynchronous semantics
//! with a form of callback. A typical capability call can look like this:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! caps.ducks.get_in_a_row(10, Event::RowOfDucks)
//! ```
//!
//! The call above translates into "Get 10 ducks in a row and return them to me using the `RowOfDucks` event".
//! The capability's job is to translate this request into a serializable message and instruct the Shell to
//! do the duck herding and when it receives the ducks back, wrap them in the requested event and return it
//! to the app.
//!
//! We will refer to `get_in_row` in the above call as an _operation_, the `10` is an _input_, and the
//! `Event::RowOfDucks` is an event constructor - a function, which eventually receives the row of ducks
//! and returns a variant of the `Event` enum. Conveniently, enum tuple variants can be used as functions,
//! and so that will be the typical use.
//!
//! This is what the capability implementation could look like:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use crux_core::{
//! capability::{CapabilityContext, Operation},
//! };
//! use crux_core::macros::Capability;
//! use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!
//! // A duck
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]
//! struct Duck;
//!
//! // Operations that can be requested from the Shell
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
//! enum DuckOperation {
//! GetInARow(usize)
//! }
//!
//! // Respective outputs for those operations
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
//! enum DuckOutput {
//! GetInRow(Vec<Duck>)
//! }
//!
//! // Link the input and output type
//! impl Operation for DuckOperation {
//! type Output = DuckOutput;
//! }
//!
//! // The capability. Context will provide the interface to the rest of the system.
//! #[derive(Capability)]
//! struct Ducks<Event> {
//! context: CapabilityContext<DuckOperation, Event>
//! };
//!
//! impl<Event> Ducks<Event> {
//! pub fn new(context: CapabilityContext<DuckOperation, Event>) -> Self {
//! Self { context }
//! }
//!
//! pub fn get_in_a_row<F>(&self, number_of_ducks: usize, event: F)
//! where
//! Event: 'static,
//! F: FnOnce(Vec<Duck>) -> Event + Send + 'static,
//! {
//! let ctx = self.context.clone();
//! // Start a shell interaction
//! self.context.spawn(async move {
//! // Instruct Shell to get ducks in a row and await the ducks
//! let ducks = ctx.request_from_shell(DuckOperation::GetInARow(number_of_ducks)).await;
//!
//! // Unwrap the ducks and wrap them in the requested event
//! // This will always succeed, as long as the Shell implementation is correct
//! // and doesn't send the wrong output type back
//! if let DuckOutput::GetInRow(ducks) = ducks {
//! // Queue an app update with the ducks event
//! ctx.update_app(event(ducks));
//! }
//! })
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `self.context.spawn` API allows a multi-step transaction with the Shell to be performed by a capability
//! without involving the app, until the exchange has completed. During the exchange, one or more events can
//! be emitted (allowing a subscription or streaming like capability to be built).
//!
//! For Shell requests that have no output, you can use [`CapabilityContext::notify_shell`].
//!
//! `DuckOperation` and `DuckOutput` show how the set of operations can be extended. In simple capabilities,
//! with a single operation, these can be structs, or simpler types. For example, the HTTP capability works directly with
//! `HttpRequest` and `HttpResponse`.
