defmodule Membrane.Pipeline do
@moduledoc """
A behaviour module for implementing pipelines.
`Membrane.Pipeline` contains the callbacks and functions for constructing and supervising pipelines.
Pipelines facilitate the convenient instantiation, linking, and management of elements and bins.\\
Linking pipeline children together enables them to pass and process data.
To create a pipeline, use `use Membrane.Pipeline` and implement callbacks of `Membrane.Pipeline` behaviour.
See `Membrane.ChildrenSpec` for details on instantiating and linking children.
## Starting and supervision
Start a pipeline with `start_link/2` or `start/2`. Pipelines always spawn under a dedicated supervisor, so
in the case of success, either function will return `{:ok, supervisor_pid, pipeline_pid}` .
The supervisor never restarts the pipeline, but it does ensure that the pipeline and its children terminate properly.
If the pipeline needs to be restarted, it should be spawned under a different supervisor with the appropriate strategy.
### Starting under a supervision tree
A pipeline can be spawned under a supervision tree like any other `GenServer`.\\
`use Membrane.Pipeline` injects a `child_spec/1` function. A simple scenario could look like this:
defmodule MyPipeline do
use Membrane.Pipeline
def start_link(options) do
Membrane.Pipeline.start_link(__MODULE__, options, name: MyPipeline)
end
# ...
end
Supervisor.start_link([{MyPipeline, option: :value}], strategy: :one_for_one)
send(MyPipeline, :message)
### Starting outside of a supervision tree
When starting a pipeline outside a supervision tree, use the `pipeline_pid` pid to interact with the pipeline.
A simple scenario could look like this:
{:ok, _supervisor_pid, pipeline_pid} = Membrane.Pipeline.start_link(MyPipeline, option: :value)
send(pipeline_pid, :message)
### Visualizing the supervision tree
Use the [Applications tab](https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/observer_ug#applications-tab) in Erlang's Observer GUI
(or the `Kino` library in Livebook) to visualize a pipeline's internal supervision tree. Use the following configuration for debugging purposes only:
config :membrane_core, unsafely_name_processes_for_stalker: [:components]
This improves the readability of the Observer's process tree graph by naming the pipeline descendants, as demonstrated here:

Terminates the pipeline.
Accepts three options:

will be executed in the process whose pid is returned as a function result.
If set to `false`, pipeline termination will be blocking and will be executed in
the process that called this function. Defaults to `false`.
* `timeout` - specifies how much time (ms) to wait for the pipeline to gracefully
terminate. Defaults to 5000.
* `force?` - determines how to handle a pipeline still alive after `timeout`.
If set to `true`, `Process.exit/2` kills the pipeline with reason `:kill` and returns
`{:error, :timeout}`.
If set to `false`, it raises an error. Defaults to `false`.
