//! Fairings: callbacks at attach, launch, request, and response time.
//!
//! Fairings allow for structured interposition at various points in the
//! application lifetime. Fairings can be seen as a restricted form of
//! "middleware". A fairing is an arbitrary structure with methods representing
//! callbacks that Rocket will run at requested points in a program. You can use
//! fairings to rewrite or record information about requests and responses, or
//! to perform an action once a Rocket application has launched.
//!
//! To learn more about writing a fairing, see the [`Fairing`] trait
//! documentation. You can also use [`AdHoc`] to create a fairing on-the-fly
//! from a closure or function.
//!
//! ## Attaching
//!
//! You must inform Rocket about fairings that you wish to be active by calling
//! [`Rocket::attach()`] method on the application's [`Rocket`] instance and
//! passing in the appropriate [`Fairing`]. For instance, to attach fairings
//! named `req_fairing` and `res_fairing` to a new Rocket instance, you might
//! write:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use rocket::fairing::AdHoc;
//! # let req_fairing = AdHoc::on_request("Request", |_, _| ());
//! # let res_fairing = AdHoc::on_response("Response", |_, _| ());
//! let rocket = rocket::ignite()
//! .attach(req_fairing)
//! .attach(res_fairing);
//! ```
//!
//! Once a fairing is attached, Rocket will execute it at the appropriate time,
//! which varies depending on the fairing implementation. See the [`Fairing`]
//! trait documentation for more information on the dispatching of fairing
//! methods.
//!
//! [`Fairing`]: ::fairing::Fairing
//!
//! ## Ordering
//!
//! `Fairing`s are executed in the order in which they are attached: the first
//! attached fairing has its callbacks executed before all others. Because
//! fairing callbacks may not be commutative, the order in which fairings are
//! attached may be significant. Because of this, it is important to communicate
//! to the user every consequence of a fairing.
//!
//! Furthermore, a `Fairing` should take care to act locally so that the actions
//! of other `Fairings` are not jeopardized. For instance, unless it is made
//! abundantly clear, a fairing should not rewrite every request.

// We might imagine that a request fairing returns an `Outcome`. If it returns
// `Success`, we don't do any routing and use that response directly. Same if it
// returns `Failure`. We only route if it returns `Forward`. I've chosen not to
// go this direction because I feel like request guards are the correct
// mechanism to use here. In other words, enabling this at the fairing level
// encourages implicit handling, a bad practice. Fairings can still, however,
// return a default `Response` if routing fails via a response fairing. For
// instance, to automatically handle preflight in CORS, a response fairing can
// check that the user didn't handle the `OPTIONS` request (404) and return an
// appropriate response. This allows the users to handle `OPTIONS` requests
// when they'd like but default to the fairing when they don't want to.
/// Trait implemented by fairings: Rocket's structured middleware.
///
/// # Considerations
///
/// Fairings are a large hammer that can easily be abused and misused. If you
/// are considering writing a `Fairing` implementation, first consider if it is
/// appropriate to do so. While middleware is often the best solution to some
/// problems in other frameworks, it is often a suboptimal solution in Rocket.
/// This is because Rocket provides richer mechanisms such as [request guards]
/// and [data guards] that can be used to accomplish the same objective in a
/// cleaner, more composable, and more robust manner.
///
/// As a general rule of thumb, only _globally applicable actions_ should be
/// implemented via fairings. For instance, you should _not_ use a fairing to
/// implement authentication or authorization (preferring to use a [request
/// guard] instead) _unless_ the authentication or authorization applies to the
/// entire application. On the other hand, you _should_ use a fairing to record
/// timing and/or usage statistics or to implement global security policies.
///
/// [request guard]: ::request::FromRequest
/// [request guards]: ::request::FromRequest
/// [data guards]: ::data::FromData
///
/// ## Fairing Callbacks
///
/// There are four kinds of fairing callbacks: attach, launch, request, and
/// response. A fairing can request any combination of these callbacks through
/// the `kind` field of the `Info` structure returned from the `info` method.
/// Rocket will only invoke the callbacks set in the `kind` field.
///
/// The four callback kinds are as follows:
///
/// * **Attach (`on_attach`)**
///
/// An attach callback, represented by the [`Fairing::on_attach()`] method,
/// is called when a fairing is first attached via [`Rocket::attach()`]
/// method. The state of the `Rocket` instance is, at this point, not
/// finalized, as the user may still add additional information to the
/// `Rocket` instance. As a result, it is unwise to depend on the state of
/// the `Rocket` instance.
///
/// An attach callback can arbitrarily modify the `Rocket` instance being
/// constructed. It returns `Ok` if it would like launching to proceed
/// nominally and `Err` otherwise. If an attach callback returns `Err`,
/// launch will be aborted. All attach callbacks are executed on `launch`,
/// even if one or more signal a failure.
///
/// * **Launch (`on_launch`)**
///
/// A launch callback, represented by the [`Fairing::on_launch()`] method,
/// is called immediately before the Rocket application has launched. At
/// this point, Rocket has opened a socket for listening but has not yet
/// begun accepting connections. A launch callback can inspect the `Rocket`
/// instance being launched.
///
/// * **Request (`on_request`)**
///
/// A request callback, represented by the [`Fairing::on_request()`] method,
/// is called just after a request is received, immediately after
/// pre-processing the request with method changes due to `_method` form
/// fields. At this point, Rocket has parsed the incoming HTTP request into
/// [`Request`] and [`Data`] structures but has not routed the request. A
/// request callback can modify the request at will and [`Data::peek()`]
/// into the incoming data. It may not, however, abort or respond directly
/// to the request; these issues are better handled via [request guards] or
/// via response callbacks. Any modifications to a request are persisted and
/// can potentially alter how a request is routed.
///=
/// * **Response (`on_response`)**
///
/// A response callback, represented by the [`Fairing::on_response()`]
/// method, is called when a response is ready to be sent to the client. At
/// this point, Rocket has completed all routing, including to error
/// catchers, and has generated the would-be final response. A response
/// callback can modify the response at will. For example, a response
/// callback can provide a default response when the user fails to handle
/// the request by checking for 404 responses. Note that a given `Request`
/// may have changed between `on_request` and `on_response` invocations.
/// Apart from any change made by other fairings, Rocket sets the method for
/// `HEAD` requests to `GET` if there is no matching `HEAD` handler for that
/// request. Additionally, Rocket will automatically strip the body for
/// `HEAD` requests _after_ response fairings have run.
///
/// # Implementing
///
/// A `Fairing` implementation has one required method: [`info`]. A `Fairing`
/// can also implement any of the available callbacks: `on_attach`, `on_launch`,
/// `on_request`, and `on_response`. A `Fairing` _must_ set the appropriate
/// callback kind in the `kind` field of the returned `Info` structure from
/// [`info`] for a callback to actually be called by Rocket.
///
/// ## Fairing `Info`
///
/// Every `Fairing` must implement the [`info`] method, which returns an
/// [`Info`] structure. This structure is used by Rocket to:
///
/// 1. Assign a name to the `Fairing`.
///
/// This is the `name` field, which can be any arbitrary string. Name your
/// fairing something illustrative. The name will be logged during the
/// application's launch procedures.
///
/// 2. Determine which callbacks to actually issue on the `Fairing`.
///
/// This is the `kind` field of type [`Kind`]. This field is a bitset that
/// represents the kinds of callbacks the fairing wishes to receive. Rocket
/// will only invoke the callbacks that are flagged in this set. `Kind`
/// structures can be `or`d together to represent any combination of kinds
/// of callbacks. For instance, to request launch and response callbacks,
/// return a `kind` field with the value `Kind::Launch | Kind::Response`.
///
/// [`info`]: Fairing::info()
///
/// ## Restrictions
///
/// A `Fairing` must be [`Send`] + [`Sync`] + `'static`. This means that the
/// fairing must be sendable across thread boundaries (`Send`), thread-safe
/// (`Sync`), and have only `'static` references, if any (`'static`). Note that
/// these bounds _do not_ prohibit a `Fairing` from holding state: the state
/// need simply be thread-safe and statically available or heap allocated.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// Imagine that we want to record the number of `GET` and `POST` requests that
/// our application has received. While we could do this with [request guards]
/// and [managed state](::request::State), it would require us to annotate every
/// `GET` and `POST` request with custom types, polluting handler signatures.
/// Instead, we can create a simple fairing that acts globally.
///
/// The `Counter` fairing below records the number of all `GET` and `POST`
/// requests received. It makes these counts available at a special `'/counts'`
/// path.
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::io::Cursor;
/// use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering};
///
/// use rocket::{Request, Data, Response};
/// use rocket::fairing::{Fairing, Info, Kind};
/// use rocket::http::{Method, ContentType, Status};
///
/// #[derive(Default)]
/// struct Counter {
/// get: AtomicUsize,
/// post: AtomicUsize,
/// }
///
/// impl Fairing for Counter {
/// fn info(&self) -> Info {
/// Info {
/// name: "GET/POST Counter",
/// kind: Kind::Request | Kind::Response
/// }
/// }
///
/// fn on_request(&self, request: &mut Request, _: &Data) {
/// if request.method() == Method::Get {
/// self.get.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
/// } else if request.method() == Method::Post {
/// self.post.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
/// }
/// }
///
/// fn on_response(&self, request: &Request, response: &mut Response) {
/// // Don't change a successful user's response, ever.
/// if response.status() != Status::NotFound {
/// return
/// }
///
/// if request.method() == Method::Get && request.uri().path() == "/counts" {
/// let get_count = self.get.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
/// let post_count = self.post.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
///
/// let body = format!("Get: {}\nPost: {}", get_count, post_count);
/// response.set_status(Status::Ok);
/// response.set_header(ContentType::Plain);
/// response.set_sized_body(Cursor::new(body));
/// }
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// ## Request-Local State
///
/// Fairings can use [request-local state] to persist or carry data between
/// requests and responses, or to pass data to a request guard.
///
/// As an example, the following fairing uses request-local state to time
/// requests, setting an `X-Response-Time` header on all responses with the
/// elapsed time. It also exposes the start time of a request via a `StartTime`
/// request guard.
///
/// ```rust
/// # use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime};
/// # use rocket::Outcome;
/// # use rocket::{Request, Data, Response};
/// # use rocket::fairing::{Fairing, Info, Kind};
/// # use rocket::http::Status;
/// # use rocket::request::{self, FromRequest};
/// #
/// /// Fairing for timing requests.
/// pub struct RequestTimer;
///
/// /// Value stored in request-local state.
/// #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
/// struct TimerStart(Option<SystemTime>);
///
/// impl Fairing for RequestTimer {
/// fn info(&self) -> Info {
/// Info {
/// name: "Request Timer",
/// kind: Kind::Request | Kind::Response
/// }
/// }
///
/// /// Stores the start time of the request in request-local state.
/// fn on_request(&self, request: &mut Request, _: &Data) {
/// // Store a `TimerStart` instead of directly storing a `SystemTime`
/// // to ensure that this usage doesn't conflict with anything else
/// // that might store a `SystemTime` in request-local cache.
/// request.local_cache(|| TimerStart(Some(SystemTime::now())));
/// }
///
/// /// Adds a header to the response indicating how long the server took to
/// /// process the request.
/// fn on_response(&self, request: &Request, response: &mut Response) {
/// let start_time = request.local_cache(|| TimerStart(None));
/// if let Some(Ok(duration)) = start_time.0.map(|st| st.elapsed()) {
/// let ms = duration.as_secs() * 1000 + duration.subsec_millis() as u64;
/// response.set_raw_header("X-Response-Time", format!("{} ms", ms));
/// }
/// }
/// }
///
/// /// Request guard used to retrieve the start time of a request.
/// #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
/// pub struct StartTime(pub SystemTime);
///
/// // Allows a route to access the time a request was initiated.
/// impl<'a, 'r> FromRequest<'a, 'r> for StartTime {
/// type Error = ();
///
/// fn from_request(request: &'a Request<'r>) -> request::Outcome<StartTime, ()> {
/// match *request.local_cache(|| TimerStart(None)) {
/// TimerStart(Some(time)) => Outcome::Success(StartTime(time)),
/// TimerStart(None) => Outcome::Failure((Status::InternalServerError, ())),
/// }
/// }
/// }
/// ```

///
/// This is the only required method of a `Fairing`. All other methods have

///
/// Rocket will only dispatch callbacks to this fairing for the kinds in the
