1//! `ZLayer` Builder - Dockerfile parsing, `ZImagefile` support, and buildah command generation
2//!
3//! This crate provides functionality for parsing Dockerfiles (and `ZImagefiles`),
4//! converting them into buildah commands for container image building. It is
5//! designed to be used as part of the `ZLayer` container orchestration platform.
6//!
7//! # Architecture
8//!
9//! The crate is organized into several modules:
10//!
11//! - [`dockerfile`]: Types and parsing for Dockerfile content
12//! - [`buildah`]: Command generation and execution for buildah
13//! - [`builder`]: High-level [`ImageBuilder`] API for orchestrating builds
14//! - [`zimage`]: `ZImagefile` (YAML-based) parsing and Dockerfile conversion
15//! - [`tui`]: Terminal UI for build progress visualization
16//! - [`templates`]: Runtime templates for common development environments
17//! - [`error`]: Error types for the builder subsystem
18//!
19//! # Quick Start with `ImageBuilder`
20//!
21//! The recommended way to build images is using the [`ImageBuilder`] API:
22//!
23//! ```no_run
24//! use zlayer_builder::{ImageBuilder, Runtime};
25//!
26//! #[tokio::main]
27//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
28//!     // Build from a Dockerfile
29//!     let image = ImageBuilder::new("./my-app").await?
30//!         .tag("myapp:latest")
31//!         .tag("myapp:v1.0.0")
32//!         .build()
33//!         .await?;
34//!
35//!     println!("Built image: {}", image.image_id);
36//!     Ok(())
37//! }
38//! ```
39//!
40//! # Using Runtime Templates
41//!
42//! Build images without writing a Dockerfile using runtime templates:
43//!
44//! ```no_run
45//! use zlayer_builder::{ImageBuilder, Runtime};
46//!
47//! #[tokio::main]
48//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
49//!     // Auto-detect runtime from project files, or specify explicitly
50//!     let image = ImageBuilder::new("./my-node-app").await?
51//!         .runtime(Runtime::Node20)
52//!         .tag("myapp:latest")
53//!         .build()
54//!         .await?;
55//!
56//!     Ok(())
57//! }
58//! ```
59//!
60//! # Building from a `ZImagefile`
61//!
62//! `ZImagefiles` are a YAML-based alternative to Dockerfiles. The builder
63//! auto-detects a file named `ZImagefile` in the context directory, or you
64//! can point to one explicitly with [`ImageBuilder::zimagefile`]:
65//!
66//! ```no_run
67//! use zlayer_builder::ImageBuilder;
68//!
69//! #[tokio::main]
70//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
71//!     let image = ImageBuilder::new("./my-app").await?
72//!         .zimagefile("./my-app/ZImagefile")
73//!         .tag("myapp:latest")
74//!         .build()
75//!         .await?;
76//!
77//!     Ok(())
78//! }
79//! ```
80//!
81//! `ZImagefiles` support four build modes: runtime template shorthand,
82//! single-stage (`base` + `steps`), multi-stage (`stages` map), and WASM.
83//! See the [`zimage`] module for the full type definitions.
84//!
85//! # Low-Level API
86//!
87//! For more control, you can use the low-level Dockerfile parsing and
88//! buildah command generation APIs directly:
89//!
90//! ```no_run
91//! use zlayer_builder::{Dockerfile, BuildahCommand, BuildahExecutor};
92//!
93//! # async fn example() -> Result<(), zlayer_builder::BuildError> {
94//! // Parse a Dockerfile
95//! let dockerfile = Dockerfile::parse(r#"
96//!     FROM alpine:3.18
97//!     RUN apk add --no-cache curl
98//!     COPY . /app
99//!     WORKDIR /app
100//!     CMD ["./app"]
101//! "#)?;
102//!
103//! // Get the final stage
104//! let stage = dockerfile.final_stage().unwrap();
105//!
106//! // Create buildah commands for each instruction
107//! let executor = BuildahExecutor::new()?;
108//!
109//! // Create a working container from the base image
110//! let from_cmd = BuildahCommand::from_image(&stage.base_image.to_string());
111//! let output = executor.execute_checked(&from_cmd).await?;
112//! let container_id = output.stdout.trim();
113//!
114//! // Execute each instruction
115//! for instruction in &stage.instructions {
116//!     let cmds = BuildahCommand::from_instruction(container_id, instruction);
117//!     for cmd in cmds {
118//!         executor.execute_checked(&cmd).await?;
119//!     }
120//! }
121//!
122//! // Commit the container to create an image
123//! let commit_cmd = BuildahCommand::commit(container_id, "myimage:latest");
124//! executor.execute_checked(&commit_cmd).await?;
125//!
126//! // Clean up the working container
127//! let rm_cmd = BuildahCommand::rm(container_id);
128//! executor.execute(&rm_cmd).await?;
129//!
130//! # Ok(())
131//! # }
132//! ```
133//!
134//! # Features
135//!
136//! ## `ImageBuilder` (High-Level API)
137//!
138//! The [`ImageBuilder`] provides a fluent API for:
139//!
140//! - Building from Dockerfiles or runtime templates
141//! - Multi-stage builds with target stage selection
142//! - Build arguments (ARG values)
143//! - Image tagging and registry pushing
144//! - TUI progress updates via event channels
145//!
146//! ## Dockerfile Parsing
147//!
148//! The crate supports parsing standard Dockerfiles with:
149//!
150//! - Multi-stage builds with named stages
151//! - All standard Dockerfile instructions (FROM, RUN, COPY, ADD, ENV, etc.)
152//! - ARG/ENV variable expansion with default values
153//! - Global ARGs (before first FROM)
154//!
155//! ## Buildah Integration
156//!
157//! Commands are generated for buildah, a daemon-less container builder:
158//!
159//! - Container creation from images or scratch
160//! - Running commands (shell and exec form)
161//! - Copying files (including from other stages)
162//! - Configuration (env, workdir, entrypoint, cmd, labels, etc.)
163//! - Committing containers to images
164//! - Image tagging and pushing
165//!
166//! ## Runtime Templates
167//!
168//! Pre-built templates for common development environments:
169//!
170//! - Node.js 20/22 (Alpine-based, production optimized)
171//! - Python 3.12/3.13 (Slim Debian-based)
172//! - Rust (Static musl binary)
173//! - Go (Static binary)
174//! - Deno and Bun
175//!
176//! ## Variable Expansion
177//!
178//! Full support for Dockerfile variable syntax:
179//!
180//! - `$VAR` and `${VAR}` - Simple variable reference
181//! - `${VAR:-default}` - Default if unset or empty
182//! - `${VAR:+alternate}` - Alternate if set and non-empty
183//! - `${VAR-default}` - Default only if unset
184//! - `${VAR+alternate}` - Alternate if set (including empty)
