# Rustelo Foundation Integration Guide

## Overview

The Rustelo Foundation provides a complete ecosystem of library crates for building modern web applications. This guide shows how all foundation crates work together to create powerful, maintainable applications.

## Foundation Architecture

```
Application Layer (Your Implementation)
├── main.rs (imports and uses foundation libraries)
├── build.rs (uses foundation build utilities)
└── Cargo.toml (depends on foundation crates)

Foundation Library Layer
├── server/          # Server-side library with importable main functions
├── client/          # Client-side library with app mounting functions  
├── components/      # Reusable UI component library
├── pages/           # Page generation and template system
├── core-lib/        # Shared utilities and business logic
└── core-types/      # Shared type definitions
```

## Complete Application Example

### 1. Application Structure
```
my-rustelo-app/
├── Cargo.toml           # Workspace and dependencies
├── build.rs             # Build-time page generation
├── src/
│   ├── main.rs          # Application entry point
│   └── lib.rs           # Application library code
├── content/             # Markdown content and configuration
├── templates/           # Page templates
└── public/             # Static assets
```

### 2. Cargo.toml - Foundation Dependencies
```toml
[package]
name = "my-rustelo-app"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
# Foundation crates
server = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/server" }
client = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/client" }
components = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/components" }
pages = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/pages" }
core-lib = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/core-lib" }
core-types = { path = "path/to/rustelo/crates/foundation/crates/core-types" }

# Leptos framework
leptos = { version = "0.8", features = ["ssr", "hydrate"] }
leptos_router = "0.8"
leptos_axum = "0.8"

# Additional dependencies
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
axum = "0.8"

[features]
default = []
ssr = ["leptos/ssr", "server/ssr", "pages/ssr", "components/ssr"]
hydrate = ["leptos/hydrate", "client/hydrate", "pages/hydrate", "components/hydrate"]

[[bin]]
name = "server"
path = "src/main.rs"
required-features = ["ssr"]

[lib]
name = "my_rustelo_app"
crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"]
```

### 3. build.rs - Foundation Build Integration
```rust
//! Build script using foundation build utilities

use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Use server foundation build utilities
    server::build::build_foundation()?;
    
    // Use pages foundation for page generation
    pages::build::generate_pages_from_content("content/")?;
    
    // Use core-lib for configuration processing
    core_lib::build::process_configuration("config/")?;
    
    // Set up rerun conditions
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=content/");
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=templates/");
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=config/");
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### 4. src/main.rs - Complete Application Integration

```

## Cross-Crate Communication Patterns

### 1. Configuration Flow
```rust
// core-lib loads and validates configuration
let app_config = core_lib::config::load_app_config("config/app.toml")?;

// server uses configuration for setup
let server_config = server::ServerConfig::from_app_config(&app_config);

// components use configuration for theming
let theme_config = components::theme::ThemeConfig::from_app_config(&app_config);

// pages use configuration for content processing
let page_config = pages::PageConfig::from_app_config(&app_config);
```

### 2. Content Processing Pipeline
```rust
// core-lib processes raw content
let processor = core_lib::content::MarkdownProcessor::new(&app_config.content_path);
let content_items = processor.process_all().await?;

// pages generates pages from processed content
let page_generator = pages::PageGenerator::new()
    .with_content_items(content_items)
    .with_templates_from_config(&app_config);

// components display the content
let content_display = components::content::ContentManager::new()
    .with_content_source(content_items)
    .with_layout("grid");
```

### 3. Type Safety Across Crates
```rust
// core-types defines shared types
use core_types::{ContentItem, User, Route, AppError};

// All crates use the same types for consistency
fn process_content(item: ContentItem) -> Result<ContentItem, AppError> {
    // Processing logic
}

fn render_user_profile(user: User) -> impl IntoView {
    // Rendering logic
}

fn handle_route(route: Route) -> Result<(), AppError> {
    // Routing logic
}
```

## Build System Integration

### 1. Multi-Stage Build Process
```rust
// build.rs orchestrates all foundation build utilities
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Stage 1: Core configuration processing
    core_lib::build::process_configuration()?;
    
    // Stage 2: Content processing and validation
    core_lib::build::process_content()?;
    
    // Stage 3: Page generation
    pages::build::generate_pages()?;
    
    // Stage 4: Route generation
    server::build::generate_routes()?;
    
    // Stage 5: Asset processing
    process_static_assets()?;
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### 2. Feature Flag Coordination
```toml
# Features are coordinated across all foundation crates
[features]
default = []

# Core features
auth = ["server/auth", "core-lib/auth", "core-types/auth"]
i18n = ["server/i18n", "client/i18n", "pages/i18n", "core-lib/i18n"]
content-db = ["server/content-db", "pages/content-db", "core-lib/content-db"]

# Rendering features  
ssr = ["server/ssr", "pages/ssr", "components/ssr"]
hydrate = ["client/hydrate", "pages/hydrate", "components/hydrate"]

# Development features
dev-tools = ["server/dev-tools", "client/dev-tools"]
```

## Advanced Integration Patterns

### 1. Plugin Architecture
```rust
// Define plugin traits in core-types
pub trait ContentProcessor {
    fn process(&self, content: &str) -> Result<String, ProcessingError>;
}

// Implement plugins in various crates
impl ContentProcessor for pages::MarkdownProcessor {
    fn process(&self, content: &str) -> Result<String, ProcessingError> {
        self.process_markdown(content)
    }
}

// Register and use plugins through core-lib
let processor_registry = core_lib::plugins::ProcessorRegistry::new()
    .register("markdown", Box::new(pages::MarkdownProcessor::new()))
    .register("handlebars", Box::new(templates::HandlebarsProcessor::new()));
```

### 2. Event System
```rust
// Define events in core-types
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub enum AppEvent {
    ContentUpdated(ContentItem),
    UserAuthenticated(User),
    RouteChanged(Route),
    ThemeChanged(String),
}

// Emit events from various crates
// In pages crate
self.event_bus.emit(AppEvent::ContentUpdated(content_item));

// In server crate
self.event_bus.emit(AppEvent::UserAuthenticated(user));

// Listen to events in components
self.event_bus.subscribe(|event| match event {
    AppEvent::ThemeChanged(theme) => update_theme(theme),
    AppEvent::ContentUpdated(item) => refresh_content_display(item),
    _ => {}
});
```

### 3. State Management Integration
```rust
// Global state defined in core-types
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct AppState {
    pub user: Option<User>,
    pub theme: Theme,
    pub language: Language,
    pub content_cache: HashMap<String, ContentItem>,
}

// State management in core-lib
pub struct StateManager {
    state: RwSignal<AppState>,
    event_bus: EventBus,
}

impl StateManager {
    pub fn update_user(&self, user: Option<User>) {
        self.state.update(|state| state.user = user);
        if let Some(user) = user {
            self.event_bus.emit(AppEvent::UserAuthenticated(user));
        }
    }
}

// Use state in components
#[component]
pub fn UserProfile() -> impl IntoView {
    let state = use_context::<StateManager>().unwrap();
    let user = create_memo(move |_| state.get_user());
    
    view! {
        <Show when=move || user.get().is_some()>
            // Render user profile
        </Show>
    }
}
```

## Testing Integration

### 1. Cross-Crate Testing
```rust
// Integration tests that span multiple crates
#[cfg(test)]

### 2. End-to-End Testing
```rust
// E2E tests using all foundation crates together
#[cfg(test)]
mod e2e_tests {
    use super::*;
    
    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_complete_application() {
        // Start server using server foundation
        let server_handle = server::test_utils::start_test_server().await;
        
        // Generate test content using pages foundation
        pages::test_utils::generate_test_pages().await.unwrap();
        
        // Test client-side functionality
        let client_test = client::test_utils::TestClient::new()
            .navigate_to("/")
            .expect_content("Welcome")
            .navigate_to("/blog")
            .expect_content("Blog Posts")
            .run()
            .await;
            
        assert!(client_test.passed());
        
        // Cleanup
        server_handle.stop().await;
    }
}
```

## Deployment Integration

### 1. Production Build
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Build script using all foundation capabilities

# Build server with all features
cargo build --release --features "ssr,auth,content-db,i18n,metrics"

# Build client for WebAssembly
wasm-pack build --target web --features "hydrate,router,i18n"

# Generate static pages
cargo run --bin page-generator --features "generation"

# Process and optimize assets
cargo run --bin asset-processor

# Create deployment package
tar -czf rustelo-app.tar.gz target/release/server pkg/ generated/ public/
```

### 2. Docker Integration
```dockerfile
# Multi-stage Docker build using foundation crates
FROM rust:1.70 as builder

# Copy foundation source
COPY rustelo/crates/foundation /app/foundation
COPY . /app/src

WORKDIR /app/src

# Build with all production features
RUN cargo build --release --features "production"

# Build client WASM
RUN wasm-pack build --target web --features "hydrate,router,i18n"

FROM nginx:alpine

# Copy server binary
COPY --from=builder /app/src/target/release/server /usr/local/bin/

# Copy static assets and generated pages
COPY --from=builder /app/src/pkg /var/www/html/pkg
COPY --from=builder /app/src/generated /var/www/html/generated
COPY --from=builder /app/src/public /var/www/html/public

# Copy nginx configuration
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# Start script that runs both server and nginx
COPY start.sh /start.sh
RUN chmod +x /start.sh

CMD ["/start.sh"]
```

## Best Practices for Foundation Integration

### 1. Dependency Management
- Use workspace dependencies for version consistency
- Enable only the features you need
- Use path dependencies during development
- Switch to published crates for production

### 2. Configuration Management
- Centralize configuration in core-lib
- Use type-safe configuration structs from core-types
- Validate configuration at startup
- Support environment-specific configs

### 3. Error Handling
- Define common errors in core-types
- Implement From traits for error conversion
- Use Result types consistently across crates
- Provide meaningful error contexts

### 4. Performance Optimization
- Use foundation build utilities for optimization
- Enable appropriate feature flags
- Leverage foundation caching mechanisms
- Profile across crate boundaries

### 5. Testing Strategy
- Test individual crates in isolation
- Write integration tests for crate interactions
- Use foundation test utilities
- Implement E2E testing for complete flows

The Rustelo Foundation provides a complete, integrated development experience where each crate is designed to work seamlessly with the others while maintaining clear separation of concerns and reusability.
