=head1 NAME

AnyEvent::I3 - communicate with the i3 window manager

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.09';

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.09

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This module connects to the i3 window manager using the UNIX socket based
IPC interface it provides (if enabled in the configuration file). You can
then subscribe to events or send messages and receive their replies.

    use AnyEvent::I3 qw(:all);

    my $i3 = i3("~/.i3/ipc.sock");

    $i3->connect->recv or die "Error connecting";
    say "Connected to i3";

    my $workspaces = $i3->message(TYPE_GET_WORKSPACES)->recv;
    say "Currently, you use " . @{$workspaces} . " workspaces";

...or, using the sugar methods:

    use AnyEvent::I3;

    my $workspaces = i3->get_workspaces->recv;
    say "Currently, you use " . @{$workspaces} . " workspaces";

=head1 EXPORT

=head2 $i3 = i3([ $path ]);

Creates a new C<AnyEvent::I3> object and returns it. C<path> is the path of
the UNIX socket to connect to.

=head2 $i3->connect

Establishes the connection to i3. Returns an C<AnyEvent::CondVar> which will
be triggered with a boolean (true if the connection was established) as soon as
the connection has been established.

=head2 $i3->subscribe(\%callbacks)

Subscribes to the given event types. This function awaits a hashref with the
key being the name of the event and the value being a callback.

    my %callbacks = (
        workspace => sub { say "Workspaces changed" }
    );

    if ($i3->subscribe(\%callbacks)->recv->{success})
        say "Successfully subscribed";
    }

The special callback with name C<_error> is called when the connection to i3
is killed (because of a crash, exit or restart of i3 most likely). You can
use it to print an appropriate message and exit cleanly or to try to reconnect.

    my %callbacks = (
        _error => sub {
            my ($msg) = @_;
            say "I am sorry. I am so sorry: $msg";
            exit 1;

    for my $key (keys %{$callbacks}) {

        $self->{callbacks}->{$type} = $callbacks->{$key};
    }

    $self->message(TYPE_SUBSCRIBE, [ keys %{$callbacks} ])
}

=head2 $i3->message($type, $content)

Sends a message of the specified C<type> to i3, possibly containing the data
structure C<content> (or C<content>, encoded as utf8, if C<content> is a
scalar), if specified.

    my $reply = $i3->message(TYPE_COMMAND, "reload")->recv;
    if ($reply->{success}) {
        say "Configuration successfully reloaded";
    }

=cut
sub message {
    my ($self, $type, $content) = @_;

    die "No message type specified" unless defined($type);

    die "No connection to i3" unless defined($self->{ipchdl});

    my $payload = "";
    if ($content) {
        if (not ref($content)) {
            # Convert from Perl’s internal encoding to UTF8 octets
            $payload = encode_utf8($content);
        } else {
            $payload = encode_json $content;
        }
    }
    my $message = $magic . pack("LL", length($payload), $type) . $payload;
    $self->{ipchdl}->push_write($message);

    my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;

    # We don’t preserve the old callback as it makes no sense to
    # have a callback on message reply types (only on events)
    $self->{callbacks}->{$type} =
        sub {
            my ($reply) = @_;
            $cv->send($reply);
            undef $self->{callbacks}->{$type};
        };

    $cv
}

=head1 SUGAR METHODS

These methods intend to make your scripts as beautiful as possible. All of
them automatically establish a connection to i3 blockingly (if it does not
already exist).

    say Dumper($ws);

=cut
sub get_workspaces {
    my ($self) = @_;

    $self->_ensure_connection;

    $self->message(TYPE_GET_WORKSPACES)
}

=head2 get_outputs

Gets the current outputs from i3.

=head2 get_tree

=head2 get_marks

Gets all the window identifier marks from i3 (>= v4.1).

    my $marks = i3->get_marks->recv;
    say Dumper($marks);

=cut

    my ($self) = @_;

    $self->_ensure_connection;

    $self->message(TYPE_GET_MARKS)
}

=head2 get_bar_config

Gets the bar configuration for the specific bar id from i3 (>= v4.1).

    my $config = i3->get_bar_config($id)->recv;
    say Dumper($config);

=cut
sub get_bar_config {
    my ($self, $id) = @_;

    $self->_ensure_connection;

    $self->message(TYPE_GET_BAR_CONFIG, $id)
}

=head2 command($content)

Makes i3 execute the given command

    my $reply = i3->command("reload")->recv;
    die "command failed" unless $reply->{success};

=cut
sub command {
    my ($self, $content) = @_;

    $self->_ensure_connection;
