module Middlegem
  # {ArrayDefinition} is an implementation of {Definition} that allows middlewares to be
  # explicitly defined and ordered by class in an array. A basic example of usage is:
  #
  #   definition = Middlegem::ArrayDefinition.new([
  #     MiddlewareOne,   # appends '1'
  #     MiddlewareTwo,   # appends '2'
  #     MiddlewareThree, # appends '3'
  #     MiddlewareFinal  # appends '.'
  #   ])
  #
  #   stack = Middlegem::Stack.new(definition, middlewares: [
  #     MiddlewareThree.new,
  #     MiddlewareFinal.new,
  #     MiddlewareOne.new,
  #     MiddlewareTwo.new
  #   ])
  #
  #   stack.call('hello') # => ['hello123.']
  #
  # Notice that the middlewares are called in the order they are specified in the definition
  # array.
  #
  # If two or more middlewares are encountered that have the same class, they will be left in the
  # order they were added. This behavior can be overriden by setting a tie resolver. The
  # following code, for example, raises an error when  multiple +MiddlewareFinal+ middlewares
  # are encountered:
  #
  #   middlewares = [
  #     MiddlewareOne,
  #     MiddlewareTwo,
  #     MiddlewareThree,
  #     MiddlewareFinal
  #   ]
  #
  #   tie_resolver = proc do |ties|
  #     raise "Can't run multiple MiddlewareFinals!" if ties.first.is_a? MiddlewareFinal
  #     ties
  #   end
  #
  #   definition = Middlegem::ArrayDefinition.new(middlewares, resolver: tie_resolver)
  #
  #   stack = Middlegem::Stack.new(definition, middlewares: [
  #     MiddlewareTwo.new,
  #     MiddlewareOne.new,
  #     MiddlewareFinal.new,
  #     MiddlewareThree.new,
  #     MiddlewareFinal.new
  #   ])
  #
  #   stack.call('hello') # => RuntimeError (Can't run multiple MiddlewareFinals!)
  #
  # When the two +MiddlewareFinal+ instances are encountered, the tie resolver is run, which
  # raises the error.
  #
  # Of course, this is only scratching the surface of what is possible with
  # a custom tie resolver. You might, for example, simply skip other instances of
  # +MiddlewareFinal+, rather than raising an error. A word of caution is in order, however!
  # It is not recommended to try anything too complicated with the tie resolver because it is run
  # for <em>all ties whatsoever</em>. That means that, while you could technically try to sort
  # middlewares with the same class based on some other factor---there is even an example
  # in +spec/middlegem/array_definition_spec.rb+---it potentially results in long +if/else+ or
  # +case/when+ constructions because each type must be dealt with separately. Use at your own risk!
  #
  # In general, if you need to use a tie resolver for anything but the most basic of tasks, you
  # should probably just create your own {Definition} implementation with the required
  # functionality. {ArrayDefinition} is intended primarily for defining middlewares according to
  # their classes and nothing more.
