whisker_plugin/

lib.rs

//! Whisker CNG plugin surface.
//!
//! Every type and trait the plugin system depends on lives here. The
//! crate covers three audiences with one published API:
//!
//! 1. **1st-party plugins** — modules inside `whisker-cng` that
//!    implement [`Plugin`] directly. The engine runs them in-process.
//! 2. **3rd-party plugin binaries** — external crates that implement
//!    [`Plugin`] and call [`run_as_subprocess`] from their `main`.
//!    The engine spawns them and exchanges JSON over stdin/stdout.
//! 3. **The engine itself** (`whisker-cng`) — consumes [`Plugin`]
//!    trait objects, owns the [`GenerateContext`], serializes
//!    [`PluginRequest`] / [`PluginResponse`] envelopes for the
//!    subprocess path.
//!
//! Keeping all three on the same crate means a `whisker-cng` patch
//! bump doesn't force every 3rd-party plugin crate to rebuild — the
//! engine depends on `whisker-plugin`, not the other way around, so
//! the only churn that propagates is changes to *this* crate's API.
//!
//! ## Writing a 3rd-party plugin
//!
//! Implement [`PluginConfig`] on a Config struct (this gives the
//! plugin its name) and [`Plugin`] on a unit struct that owns the
//! apply logic, then call [`run_as_subprocess`] from `main`:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use whisker_plugin::{Operation, Plugin, PluginConfig, GenerateContext, PlistValue, Target};
//!
//! #[derive(Default, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
//! struct DemoConfig {
//!     bundle_suffix: String,
//! }
//!
//! impl PluginConfig for DemoConfig {
//!     const NAME: &'static str = "example-plugin";
//! }
//!
//! struct Demo;
//!
//! impl Plugin for Demo {
//!     type Config = DemoConfig;
//!     fn apply(&self, ctx: &mut GenerateContext, cfg: &DemoConfig) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
//!         if let Some(ios) = ctx.ios.as_mut() {
//!             let key = "CFBundleSuffix".to_string();
//!             ios.info_plist.insert(key.clone(), PlistValue::String(cfg.bundle_suffix.clone()));
//!             ctx.journal.record(
//!                 DemoConfig::NAME,
//!                 Target::Ios,
//!                 &format!("info_plist.{key}"),
//!                 Operation::Set,
//!             );
//!         }
//!         Ok(())
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
//!     whisker_plugin::run_as_subprocess(Demo)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## What the IR covers
//!
//! [`IosProjectIr`] and [`AndroidProjectIr`] each carry two
//! layers:
//!
//! 1. **Core fields** seeded from `Config` by the engine before
//!    any plugin runs — `app_name`, `version`, `bundle_id` /
//!    `application_id`, `scheme`, `deployment_target`, `min_sdk`,
//!    `target_sdk`. A plugin can read them to make decisions or
//!    override them via `Operation::Override`.
//! 2. **Plugin-additive fields** that plugins push into:
//!    - `info_plist: BTreeMap<String, PlistValue>` (`String` /
//!      `Boolean` / `Integer` / `Array<String>` rendered)
//!    - `manifest.permissions: Vec<String>` (dedup'd at render)
//!    - `manifest.application_meta_data: Vec<MetaDataEntry>`
//!    - `gradle.apply_plugins: Vec<String>` /
//!      `gradle.dependencies: Vec<String>` (raw Kotlin DSL lines
//!      emitted into `app/build.gradle.kts`)
//!    - `pbxproj_ops: Vec<PbxprojOp>` (`AddResource` / `AddSource` /
//!      `SetBuildSetting` / `LinkSystemFramework` materialised
//!      into the iOS xcodeproj)
//!    - `extra_files: BTreeMap<PathBuf, FileEntry>` (arbitrary
//!      files dropped into `gen/`, path-validated against `..`
//!      traversal)
//!
//! Adding a new typed field is a non-breaking change when the
//! field is `#[serde(default)]`: older plugin binaries simply
//! don't touch it, the engine sees the default. Adding a *required*
//! field is a wire-format break.
//!
//! ## Mutation journal
//!
//! Plugins record every IR mutation by calling
//! [`MutationJournal::record`] on `ctx.journal` alongside the
//! mutation itself. The engine uses the resulting log to:
//!
//! - Attribute conflicts ("plugin A and plugin B both `set`
//!   `info_plist.CFBundleIdentifier` — that's a hard error unless
//!   one of them used `override`")
//! - Render a human-readable summary on `whisker generate --verbose`
//! - Diagnose 3rd-party plugins ("plugin foo mutated
//!   android.manifest.permissions[3] at sequence index 42, after
//!   plugin bar at 38")
//!
//! ## Subprocess wire format
//!
//! Stderr is reserved for human-readable diagnostics: log lines,
//! progress messages, anything the plugin wants to surface to the
//! user when `whisker generate --verbose` is in play. Stdout is
//! strictly the [`PluginResponse`] JSON envelope — anything else
//! there is a wire-format violation.

// PluginConfig trait
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

/// Trait implemented by the typed config struct each plugin defines.
///
/// Carries the plugin's stable kebab-case identifier as a const so
/// the `app.plugin::<MyPlugin>(|c| ...)` builder in `whisker-config`
/// can resolve the storage key via `<MyPlugin as Plugin>::Config::NAME`.
///
/// ## Why `Serialize + DeserializeOwned`
///
/// Three reasons, all wire-related:
///
/// 1. `whisker.rs` builds the Config struct, then `whisker-cli`
///    serializes the resulting `Config` (including this Config
///    nested under `plugins[NAME]`) to JSON via the config probe.
/// 2. 3rd-party plugins are subprocesses — their config arrives as
///    JSON in the [`PluginRequest`] envelope.
/// 3. The mutation journal records the config that produced each
///    mutation, so we can attribute "plugin X with config Y" in
///    error messages.
///
/// ## Why `Default`
///
/// `app.plugin::<MyPlugin>(|c| ...)` starts from `Config::default()`
/// and lets the closure mutate it. A user who declares a plugin
/// without touching any options should still get a working config —
/// the call site reads as `app.plugin::<MyPlugin>(|_| {})`.
///
/// ## Convention for `NAME`
///
/// Kebab-case; prefix 1st-party plugins with `whisker-`
/// (e.g. `whisker-info-plist`, `whisker-permissions`). The default
/// [`Plugin::name`] implementation returns this value, so under
/// normal use the plugin's name and its Config's `NAME` are the
/// same string by construction.
