=head1 NAME

AnyEvent::I3 - communicate with the i3 window manager

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.01';

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.01

=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.

Note that as soon as you subscribe to some kind of event, you should B<NOT>
send any more messages as race conditions might occur. Instead, open another
connection for that.

    use AnyEvent::I3;

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

    $i3->connect->recv;
    say "Connected to i3";

    my $workspaces = $i3->message(1)->recv;
    say "Currently, you use " . @{$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.

    use bytes;
    length($scalar)
}

sub i3 {
    AnyEvent::I3->new(@_)
}

=head2 $i3 = AnyEvent::I3->new([ $path ])

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

=cut
sub new {
    my ($class, $path) = @_;

    $path ||= '/tmp/i3-ipc.sock';

    bless { path => $path } => $class;
}

=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.

    if ($i3->connect->recv) {
        say "Connected to i3";
    }

        );

    };

}

    my $cb = $self->{callbacks}->{$type};
    $cb->(decode_json $payload);
}

=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.

    $i3->subscribe({
        workspace => sub { say "Workspaces changed" }
    });

=cut

    my ($self, $callbacks) = @_;

    my $payload = encode_json [ keys %{$callbacks} ];

    $self->{ipchdl}->push_write($message);

    # Register callbacks for each message type
    for my $key (keys %{$callbacks}) {
        my $type = $events{$key};
        $self->{callbacks}->{$type} = $callbacks->{$key};
    }
}

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

Sends a message of the specified C<type> to i3, possibly containing the data
structure C<payload>, if specified.

    my $cv = $i3->message(0, "reload");
    my $reply = $cv->recv;
    if ($reply->{success}) {
        say "Configuration successfully reloaded";
    }

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

    die "No message type specified" unless $type;

    my $payload = "";
    if ($content) {
        if (ref($content) eq "SCALAR") {
            $payload = $content;
        } else {
            $payload = encode_json $content;
        }
    }
    my $message = $magic . pack("LL", _bytelength($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
}
