/*
* Implements low-overhead integration between components of the application.
* This may have different uses depending on the component, including:
*
* - Providing product-specific implementations registered at startup.
* - Using alternative implementations during unit tests.
* - Allowing add-ons to change specific behaviors.
*
* Components may define one or more integration points, each defined by a
* root integration object whose properties and methods are the public interface
* and default implementation of the integration point. For example:
*
* const DownloadIntegration = {
* getTemporaryDirectory() {
* return "/tmp/";
* },
*
* getTemporaryFile(name) {
* return this.getTemporaryDirectory() + name;
* },
* };
*
* Other parts of the application may register overrides for some or all of the
* defined properties and methods. The component defining the integration point
* does not have to be loaded at this stage, because the name of the integration
* point is the only information required. For example, if the integration point
* is called "downloads":
*
* Integration.downloads.register(base => ({
* getTemporaryDirectory() {
* return base.getTemporaryDirectory.call(this) + "subdir/";
* },
* }));
*
* When the component defining the integration point needs to call a method on
* the integration object, instead of using it directly the component would use
* the "getCombined" method to retrieve an object that includes all overrides.
* For example:
*
* let combined = Integration.downloads.getCombined(DownloadIntegration);
* Assert.is(combined.getTemporaryFile("file"), "/tmp/subdir/file");
*
* Overrides can be registered at startup or at any later time, so each call to
* "getCombined" may return a different object. The simplest way to create a
* reference to the combined object that stays updated to the latest version is
* to define the root object in a JSM and use the "defineModuleGetter" method.
*
* *** Registration ***
*
* Since the interface is not declared formally, the registrations can happen
* at startup without loading the component, so they do not affect performance.
*
* Hovever, this module does not provide a startup registry, this means that the
* code that registers and implements the override must be loaded at startup.
*
* If performance for the override code is a concern, you can take advantage of
* the fact that the function used to create the override is called lazily, and
* include only a stub loader for the final code in an existing startup module.
*
* The registration of overrides should be repeated for each process where the
* relevant integration methods will be called.
*
* *** Accessing base methods and properties ***
*
* Overrides are included in the prototype chain of the combined object in the
* same order they were registered, where the first is closest to the root.
*
* When defining overrides, you do not need to set the "__proto__" property of
* the objects you create, because their properties and methods are moved to a
* new object with the correct prototype. If you do, however, you can call base
* properties and methods using the "super" keyword. For example:
*
* Integration.downloads.register(base => ({
* __proto__: base,
* getTemporaryDirectory() {
* return super.getTemporaryDirectory() + "subdir/";
* },
* }));
*
* *** State handling ***
*
* Storing state directly on the combined integration object using the "this"
* reference is not recommended. When a new integration is registered, own
* properties stored on the old combined object are copied to the new combined
* object using a shallow copy, but the "this" reference for new invocations
* of the methods will be different.
*
* If the root object defines a property that always points to the same object,
* for example a "state" property, you can safely use it across registrations.
*
* Integration overrides provided by restartless add-ons should not use the
* "this" reference to store state, to avoid conflicts with other add-ons.
*
* *** Interaction with XPCOM ***
*
* Providing the combined object as an argument to any XPCOM method will
* generate a console error message, and will throw an exception where possible.
* For example, you cannot register observers directly on the combined object.
* This helps preventing mistakes due to the fact that the combined object
* reference changes when new integration overrides are registered.
