use crateName;

/// Implements the stack-allocated string for storing custom profile names.
/// The string that is recognized as the [**production**](AppProfile::Prod)
/// profile.
pub const APP_PROFILE_PROD: &str = "prod";
/// The string that is recognized as the [**development**](AppProfile::Dev)
/// profile.
pub const APP_PROFILE_DEV: &str = "dev";
/// The string that is recognized as the [**test**](AppProfile::Test) profile.
pub const APP_PROFILE_TEST: &str = "test";
/// Represents the runtime profile of the application. The profile affects
/// primarily which set of configuration files is applied, and the application
/// is free to implement any profile-specific logic.
///
/// There are three **well-known profiles**:
///
/// - [**Production**](AppProfile::Prod) profile.
/// - [**Development**](AppProfile::Dev) profile.
/// - [**Test**](AppProfile::Test) profile.
///
/// Then, there are [**custom profiles**](AppProfile::Custom), which can take
/// any lowercase ASCII-only [name](Name) within the limit of
/// [`NAME_MAX_LEN`](name::NAME_MAX_LEN) characters. The custom profile names
/// are always forced to lowercase.
///
/// This enumeration defines the
/// [**active runtime profile**](AppProfile::active), which is lazily discerned
/// from the environment on the first access, and is then statically stored for
/// the whole runtime of the application. See the
/// [`discern`](AppProfile::discern) method for details on how the active
/// profile is chosen.
///
/// ## Usage
///
/// The intended way to match against the active profile is:
///
/// ```
/// use strut_core::AppProfile;
///
/// match AppProfile::active() {
/// AppProfile::Prod => println!("We are in prod"),
/// AppProfile::Dev => println!("We are in dev"),
/// AppProfile::Test => println!("We are in test"),
/// AppProfile::Custom(name) => {
/// match name.as_str() {
/// "preprod" => println!("We are in preprod"),
/// other => println!("We are in {}", other)
/// };
/// }
/// };
/// ```
///
/// ## Implicit detection
///
/// On the surface it looks like the three [`AppProfile`]s:
/// [`prod`](AppProfile::Prod), [`dev`](AppProfile::Dev), and
/// [`test`](AppProfile::Test) match quite nicely with the three out of four
/// built-in
/// [Cargo compilation profiles](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html):
/// `release`, `dev`, and `test` (leaving the fourth, `bench`, unmatched).
///
/// Having noted this similarity, a logical next step would be to use the Cargo
/// compilation profile to automatically and implicitly infer the
/// [active](AppProfile::active) [`AppProfile`] without requiring any custom
/// environment variables to be set.
///
/// Unfortunately, in the current implementation of Cargo this is not feasible.
///
/// Firstly, [`AppProfile`] is a **runtime** construct, and the Cargo profiles
/// exist only during **compilation**. Current implementation of Cargo provides
/// no relevant runtime indicators: Are we running a unit test binary? A
/// benchmark test? A compiled binary crate? We don’t know. That by itself could
/// be a disqualifier, but we must also give a chance to the build scripts.
///
/// A build script is able to capture some of the compilation environment and
/// pass it on to this crate’s compilation environment. We could then
/// theoretically compile a different [`AppProfile`] depending on the
/// compilation environment.
///
/// But that is not feasible either.
///
/// For one, there is no way to distinguish whether a test is being compiled:
/// all test dependencies (including this crate) are compiled with the `dev` or
/// `release` Cargo profile, not `test`.
///
/// We could technically infer (and pass on) whether the `release` profile is
/// being used, but that alone tells us almost nothing. For example, there is
/// nothing preventing the tests from compiling their dependencies with the
/// `release` Cargo profile.
///
/// That all being said, we choose to not implement any “auto-detection” logic
/// for the active profile, and instead rely on the special `APP_PROFILE`
/// environment variable, falling back on the [`dev`](AppProfile::Dev) profile
/// as the default.
