# meradomo-engine
The Rust SDK for embedding the **[Meradomo](https://meradomo.com) engine** in your
app — so your users get a public web address for their local app with **one
download, not two**.
This crate is the open-source **launcher/client**: it discovers a running engine,
spawns one from a bundled payload, attaches to a shared engine, and publishes your
app — all over the engine's loopback HTTP protocol. The engine binary itself is a
separate, pre-built download (see below).
```toml
[dependencies]
meradomo-engine = "0.1"
```
## Quick start
```rust
use meradomo_engine::{connect, ConnectRequest, EngineConfig};
use std::time::Duration;
let req = ConnectRequest {
control_plane: "https://account.meradomo.com",
app_id: "com.example.myapp", // your app id (also its first-party id)
publish_name: "music", // → music.<name>.meradomo.com
publish_label: "Music",
local_port: 3000, // where your app is listening
poll_timeout: Duration::from_secs(5 * 60),
};
let connected = connect(
&req,
std::process::id(),
|url| open_in_browser(url), // send the user to sign in / pay
|token, host| save_credential(token, host), // persist for next launch
|token| EngineConfig { /* bundled node/frpc/agent.mjs paths … */ ..cfg(token) },
)?;
println!("Live at {}", connected.publish.url.unwrap_or_default());
```
On the next launch, reuse the saved credential and call
[`spawn_or_attach`](https://docs.rs/meradomo-engine) — no browser. See the worked
example in [`examples/hello_meradomo.rs`](examples/hello_meradomo.rs).
## The engine bundle (closed, pre-built)
The engine binary (`agent.mjs` + a pinned Node runtime + the outbound client) is
the Meradomo product and ships as a **versioned, checksummed download**, indexed by
a public manifest:
```
https://stmeraqqemciyamqs2e.blob.core.windows.net/releases/engine-sdk/manifest.json
```
Fetch the manifest, download `bundle.url`, verify `bundle.sha256`, and drop the
`sidecars/` + `resources/` into your app's bundle (Tauri `externalBin` +
`resources`). The manifest also carries the wire `protocol` version — attach to an
incumbent engine only when its protocol matches [`ENGINE_PROTOCOL`].
## The three integration paths
1. **Detect the Meradomo app** (no bundle) — the plain [Agent API](https://developers.meradomo.com/guides/agent-api).
2. **Embed the engine, Model A** — the user pays Meradomo; **one download**. This crate.
3. **Embed the engine, Model B** — you pay Meradomo for usage; your users need no Meradomo account. *Coming soon.*
