* Introduction
In software architectures, a common feature is parametrization of
algorithms or protocols with higher order functions or classes and
generic functions complying to a certain protocol. These places of
potential variations can be thought of as requiring a certain
service which can be provided by arbitrary providers (See [[*Java
Service Provider Interface]] for a related approach).
# are sometimes called "extension points".
While Common Lisp supports these designs very well on a language
level (via symbols naming functions, first class functions,
=cl:make-instance=, etc.), it is often useful to go a little bit
beyond these builtin features:
* It is considered good practice to use something like
=make-test-result-formatter= instead of letting clients call
=cl:make-instance= directly.
* It is sometimes desirable to be able to enumerate all known
providers of a given service.
* Compile-time analysis of provider instantiation requests can
reveal errors early or enable transformation into more efficient
code.
* Service providers can be loaded lazily when they are instantiated.
This system adds first class services and service providers to
facilitate use cases like the above while trying to avoid conceptual
mismatches with the builtin mechanisms.

* Tutorial
** Defining a Service
In the simplest case, a service is a named collection of providers
with an optional documentation string:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports both
(service-provider:define-service my-service
(:documentation
"Providers of this service do stuff."))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
#
#+end_example
** Registering a Provider
A provider of a service can be anything for which a method on
=service-provider:make-provider=, and optionally
=service-provider:make-provider-form=, is defined.
For the common cases in which a provider instantiates a class or
calls a functions, the builtin provider classes
=service-provider:class-provider= and
=service-provider:function-provider= can be used. The easiest way
to register providers of these two kinds are the functions
=service-provider:register-provider/class= and
=service-provider:register-provider/function= respectively.
For example, registering a class as a provider of a service can be
accomplished like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports both
(defclass my-class ()
((foo :initarg :foo)))
(service-provider:register-provider/class 'my-service 'my-class)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
#
#+end_example
** Instantiating a Provider
The primary way to instantiate a service provider is
=service-provider:make-provider= which resembles =cl:make-instance=
but takes a service and a provider designator instead of a class
designator:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports both
(service-provider:make-provider 'my-service 'my-class :foo 1)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
#
#+end_example
** Introspecting a Service
Introspection of services works much like CLOS introspection: after
retrieving a service object, reader functions as well as
=cl:describe= and =cl:documentation= can be applied to it:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results output :exports both
(let ((service (service-provider:find-service 'my-service)))
(print (list (service-provider:service-name service)
(service-provider:service-providers service)))
(fresh-line)
(describe service)
(fresh-line)
(print (documentation service t)))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
(MY-SERVICE (#))
#
Providers:
#
"Providers of this service do stuff."
#+end_example
** Compilation
The system has some support for detecting uses of non-existent
services and providers at compile-time. In particular, the
=service-provider:make-provider= function can signal
=cl:style-warning= s when service and/or provider arguments are
constant and do not designate existing services or providers:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results output :exports both
(handler-bind ((warning (lambda (condition)
(format t "~S:~%~2@T~A~%"
(type-of condition) condition))))
(compile nil '(lambda ()
(service-provider:make-provider :no-such-service :provider)))
(compile nil '(lambda ()
(service-provider:make-provider 'my-service :no-such-provider))))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
SERVICE-PROVIDER:MISSING-SERVICE-WARNING:
No service is known for the designator :NO-SUCH-SERVICE.
SERVICE-PROVIDER:MISSING-PROVIDER-WARNING:
No provider of service # is
known for the designator :NO-SUCH-PROVIDER.
#+end_example
** TODO Efficiency Considerations
* Dictionary
#+begin_src lisp :results none :exports none :session "doc"
(ql:quickload '(:architecture.service-provider :alexandria :split-sequence))

#+end_src
** Service Protocol
The following generic functions operate on service objects:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:service-name 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
service-name SERVICE
Return the symbol which is the name of SERVICE.
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:service-providers 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
service-providers SERVICE
Return a sequence of the providers of SERVICE.
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:service-providers/alist 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
service-providers/alist SERVICE
Return the providers of SERVICE as an alist in which CARs are
provider names and CDRs are the corresponding provider objects.
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:service-providers/plist 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
service-providers/plist SERVICE
Return the providers of SERVICE as a plist in which keys are
provider names and values are the corresponding provider
objects.
#+end_example
The following generic functions query and manipulate the global set
of services:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:find-service 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
find-service NAME &KEY IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
Find and return the service designated by the `service-designator'
NAME.
IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST controls the behavior in case the designated
service cannot be found:
The values #'error and 'error cause a `missing-service-error' to
be signaled.
The values #'warn and 'warn cause a `missing-service-warning' to
be signaled and nil to be returned.
The value nil causes nil to be returned without any conditions
being signaled.
`retry' and `use-value' restarts are established around error
signaling (if IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST mandates that).
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc '(setf service-provider:find-service) 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
(setf find-service) NEW-VALUE NAME &KEY IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
Set the service designated by the `service-designator' NAME to
NEW-VALUE. When non-nil, NEW-VALUE has to implement the service
protocol.
If NAME already designates a service, the existing service object
is replaced with NEW-VALUE.
If NEW-VALUE is nil, an existing service designated by NAME is
removed.
IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST is accepted for parity with `find-service' and
usually ignored. However, when NEW-VALUE is nil, IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
controls whether an error should be signaled in case the
to-be-removed service does not exist.
#+end_example
** Provider Protocol
The following generic functions operate on provider objects:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:provider-name 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: provider-name PROVIDER
:
: Return the symbol which is the name of PROVIDER.
The following generic functions query and manipulate the providers
of a service:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:find-provider 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
find-provider SERVICE PROVIDER &KEY IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
Find and return the provider designated by the
`provider-designator' PROVIDER in the service designated by the
`service-designator' SERVICE.
IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST controls the behavior in case SERVICE or
PROVIDER cannot be found:
The values #'error and 'error cause a `missing-service-error' to
be signaled if SERVICE cannot be found and a
`missing-provider-error' to be signaled if PROVIDER cannot be
found.
The values #'warn and 'warn cause a `missing-service-warning' to
be signaled if SERVICE cannot be found and a
`missing-provider-warning' to be signaled if PROVIDER cannot be
found. In both cases, nil is returned.
The value nil causes nil to be returned without any conditions
being signaled.
`retry' and `use-value' restarts are established around error
signaling (if IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST mandates that).
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc '(setf service-provider:find-provider) 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
(setf find-provider) NEW-VALUE SERVICE PROVIDER &KEY IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
Set the provider designated by the `provider-designator' PROVIDER
in the service designated by the `service-designator' SERVICE to
NEW-VALUE. When non-nil, NEW-VALUE has to implement the provider
protocol.
If SERVICE and PROVIDER already designate a provider, the existing
provider object is replaced with NEW-VALUE.
If NEW-VALUE is nil, an existing provider designated by SERVICE
and PROVIDER is removed.
IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST is accepted for parity with `find-provider' and
usually ignored. However, when NEW-VALUE is nil, IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST
controls whether an error should be signaled in case the
to-be-removed provider does not exist.

** Convenience Layer
The following convenience functions and macros are provided for
registering services:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:register-service 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
register-service NAME SERVICE-CLASS &REST INITARGS
Register a service named NAME according to SERVICE-CLASS and INITARGS.
If NAME does not name an existing service, an instance of
SERVICE-CLASS is made with INITARGS and registered.
If NAME names an existing service, the service is updated via
re-initialization, potentially changing its class to SERVICE-CLASS.
The new or updated service instance is returned.
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:define-service 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
define-service NAME &BODY OPTIONS
Define a service named NAME with additional aspects specified in
OPTIONS.
The following OPTIONS are accepted:
(:service-class CLASS-NAME)
Name of the class of the to-be-defined service. Defaults to
`standard-service'.
(:documentation STRING)
If NAME already designates a service, the existing service object
is destructively modified according to OPTIONS.
The service definition is performed at compile, load and execute
time to ensure availability in subsequent provider definitions
and/or compilation of e.g. `find-service' calls.
#+end_example
The following convenience functions are provided for registering
providers:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"

register-provider SERVICE-NAME PROVIDER-NAME PROVIDER-CLASS &REST INITARGS
Register a provider of SERVICE-NAME according to PROVIDER-NAME,
PROVIDER-CLASS and INITARGS.
If PROVIDER-NAME does not name an existing provider of the service
designated by SERVICE-NAME, an instance of PROVIDER-CLASS is made
with INITARGS and registered.
If PROVIDER-NAME names an existing provider of the service
designated by SERVICE-NAME, the provider is updated via
re-initialization, potentially changing its class to
PROVIDER-CLASS.
The new or updated provider instance is returned.
#+end_example

(PROVIDER-CLASS 'CLASS-PROVIDER) (CLASS PROVIDER-NAME)
&ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS
Register CLASS as the provider named PROVIDER-NAME of the service
designated by SERVICE-NAME.
PROVIDER-CLASS can be used to select the class of which the created
provider should be an instance.
The `cl:documentation' of CLASS is used as the documentation of the
provider.
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :results value :exports results :session "doc"
(doc 'service-provider:register-provider/function 'function)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:

Differences:
* =architecture.service-providers= does not tie services to classes
(or interfaces); services and providers are identified by
symbols (or lists of symbols).
* Introspection is modeled after CLOS introspection, e.g.
=cl:find-class=.
* Documentation is modeled after and integrates =cl:defclass= and
=cl:documentation=.
* Redefinitions and class-changes of services and service providers
are supported.
* Support for compile-time error-detection and optimizations can be
added.

(SERVICE-NAME PROVIDER-NAME . KEYWORD-PARAMETERS)
which registers service providers for the given service + provider combinations. ARGS has to be a list of elements the form
(NAME DEFAULT)
. As part of KEYWORD-PARAMETERS, the defined function accepts
a :provider-class keyword parameter which defaults to
DEFAULT-PROVIDER-CLASS. When instantiated, the provider class
will receive as initargs REQUIRED-INITARGS, .
If supplied, DOCUMENTATION will be used as the documentation string of the defined function.
