//! Traits for working with plugin editors.

use crate::context::gui::GuiContext;
/// An editor for a [`Plugin`][crate::prelude::Plugin].
pub trait Editor: Send {
/// Create an instance of the plugin's editor and embed it in the parent window. As explained in
/// [`Plugin::editor()`][crate::prelude::Plugin::editor()], you can then read the parameter
/// values directly from your [`Params`][crate::prelude::Params] object, and modifying the
/// values can be done using the functions on the [`ParamSetter`][crate::prelude::ParamSetter].
/// When you change a parameter value that way it will be broadcasted to the host and also
/// updated in your [`Params`][crate::prelude::Params] struct.
///
/// This function should return a handle to the editor, which will be dropped when the editor
/// gets closed. Implement the [`Drop`] trait on the returned handle if you need to explicitly
/// handle the editor's closing behavior.
///
/// If [`set_scale_factor()`][Self::set_scale_factor()] has been called, then any created
/// windows should have their sizes multiplied by that factor.
///
/// The wrapper guarantees that a previous handle has been dropped before this function is
/// called again.
//
// TODO: Think of how this would work with the event loop. On Linux the wrapper must provide a
// timer using VST3's `IRunLoop` interface, but on Window and macOS the window would
// normally register its own timer. Right now we just ignore this because it would
// otherwise be basically impossible to have this still be GUI-framework agnostic. Any
// callback that deos involve actual GUI operations will still be spooled to the IRunLoop
// instance.
// TODO: This function should return an `Option` instead. Right now window opening failures are
// always fatal. This would need to be fixed in baseview first.

/// must be reported in _logical pixels_, i.e. the size before being multiplied by the DPI
/// scaling factor to get the actual physical screen pixels.

/// Set the DPI scaling factor, if supported. The plugin APIs don't make any guarantees on when
/// this is called, but for now just assume it will be the first function that gets called
/// before creating the editor. If this is set, then any windows created by this editor should
/// have their sizes multiplied by this scaling factor on Windows and Linux.
///
/// Right now this is never called on macOS since DPI scaling is built into the operating system
/// there.

/// A callback that will be called whenever the parameter values changed while the editor is
/// open. You don't need to do anything with this, but this can be used to force a redraw when
/// the host sends a new value for a parameter or when a parameter change sent to the host gets
/// processed.
///
/// This function will be called from the **audio thread**. It must thus be lock-free and may
/// not allocate.

// TODO: Reconsider adding a tick function here for the Linux `IRunLoop`. To keep this platform
// and API agnostic, add a way to ask the GuiContext if the wrapper already provides a
// tick function. If it does not, then the Editor implementation must handle this by
// itself. This would also need an associated `PREFERRED_FRAME_RATE` constant.
// TODO: Host->Plugin resizing
