//! # FRAME Pallet Coupling
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! This reference document explains how FRAME pallets can be combined to interact together.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! It is suggested to re-read [`crate::pezkuwi_sdk::frame_runtime`], notably the information
|
||||
//! around [`frame::pallet_macros::config`]. Recall that:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! > Configuration trait of a pallet: It allows a pallet to receive types at a later
|
||||
//! > point from the runtime that wishes to contain it. It allows the pallet to be parameterized
|
||||
//! > over both types and values.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ## Context, Background
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! FRAME pallets, as per described in [`crate::pezkuwi_sdk::frame_runtime`] are:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! > A pallet is a unit of encapsulated logic. It has a clearly defined responsibility and can be
|
||||
//! linked to other pallets.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! That is to say:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! * *encapsulated*: Ideally, a FRAME pallet contains encapsulated logic which has clear
|
||||
//! boundaries. It is generally a bad idea to build a single monolithic pallet that does multiple
|
||||
//! things, such as handling currencies, identities and staking all at the same time.
|
||||
//! * *linked to other pallets*: But, adhering extensively to the above also hinders the ability to
|
||||
//! write useful applications. Pallets often need to work with each other, communicate and use
|
||||
//! each other's functionalities.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! The broad principle that allows pallets to be linked together is the same way through which a
|
||||
//! pallet uses its `Config` trait to receive types and values from the runtime that contains it.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! There are generally two ways to achieve this:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! 1. Tight coupling pallets.
|
||||
//! 2. Loose coupling pallets.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! To explain the difference between the two, consider two pallets, `A` and `B`. In both cases, `A`
|
||||
//! wants to use some functionality exposed by `B`.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! When tightly coupling pallets, `A` can only exist in a runtime if `B` is also present in the
|
||||
//! same runtime. That is, `A` is expressing that can only work if `B` is present.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! This translates to the following Rust code:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ```
|
||||
//! trait Pallet_B_Config {}
|
||||
//! trait Pallet_A_Config: Pallet_B_Config {}
|
||||
//! ```
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Contrary, when pallets are loosely coupled, `A` expresses that some functionality, expressed via
|
||||
//! a trait `F`, needs to be fulfilled. This trait is then implemented by `B`, and the two pallets
|
||||
//! are linked together at the runtime level. This means that `A` only relies on the implementation
|
||||
//! of `F`, which may be `B`, or another implementation of `F`.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! This translates to the following Rust code:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ```
|
||||
//! trait F {}
|
||||
//! trait Pallet_A_Config {
|
||||
//! type F: F;
|
||||
//! }
|
||||
//! // Pallet_B will implement and fulfill `F`.
|
||||
//! ```
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ## Example
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Consider the following example, in which `pallet-foo` needs another pallet to provide the block
|
||||
//! author to it, and `pallet-author` which has access to this information.
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", pallet_foo)]
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", pallet_author)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ### Tight Coupling Pallets
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! To tightly couple `pallet-foo` and `pallet-author`, we use Rust's supertrait system. When a
|
||||
//! pallet makes its own `trait Config` be bounded by another pallet's `trait Config`, it is
|
||||
//! expressing two things:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! 1. That it can only exist in a runtime if the other pallet is also present.
|
||||
//! 2. That it can use the other pallet's functionality.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! `pallet-foo`'s `Config` would then look like:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", tight_config)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! And `pallet-foo` can use the method exposed by `pallet_author::Pallet` directly:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", tight_usage)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ### Loosely Coupling Pallets
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! If `pallet-foo` wants to *not* rely on `pallet-author` directly, it can leverage its
|
||||
//! `Config`'s associated types. First, we need a trait to express the functionality that
|
||||
//! `pallet-foo` wants to obtain:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", AuthorProvider)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! > We sometimes refer to such traits that help two pallets interact as "glue traits".
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Next, `pallet-foo` states that it needs this trait to be provided to it, at the runtime level,
|
||||
//! via an associated type:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", loose_config)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Then, `pallet-foo` can use this trait to obtain the block author, without knowing where it comes
|
||||
//! from:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", loose_usage)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Then, if `pallet-author` implements this glue-trait:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", pallet_author_provider)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! And upon the creation of the runtime, the two pallets are linked together as such:
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", runtime_author_provider)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! Crucially, when using loose coupling, we gain the flexibility of providing different
|
||||
//! implementations of `AuthorProvider`, such that different users of a `pallet-foo` can use
|
||||
//! different ones, without any code change being needed. For example, in the code snippets of this
|
||||
//! module, you can find [`OtherAuthorProvider`], which is an alternative implementation of
|
||||
//! [`AuthorProvider`].
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", other_author_provider)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! A common pattern in pezkuwi-sdk is to provide an implementation of such glu traits for the unit
|
||||
//! type as a "default/test behavior".
|
||||
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/reference_docs/frame_pallet_coupling.rs", unit_author_provider)]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ## Frame System
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! With the above information in context, we can conclude that **`frame_system` is a special pallet
|
||||
//! that is tightly coupled with every other pallet**. This is because it provides the fundamental
|
||||
//! system functionality that every pallet needs, such as some types like
|
||||
//! [`frame::prelude::frame_system::Config::AccountId`],
|
||||
//! [`frame::prelude::frame_system::Config::Hash`], and some functionality such as block number,
|
||||
//! etc.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! ## Recap
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! To recap, consider the following rules of thumb:
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! * In all cases, try and break down big pallets apart with clear boundaries of responsibility. In
|
||||
//! general, it is easier to argue about multiple pallet if they only communicate together via a
|
||||
//! known trait, rather than having access to all of each others public items, such as storage and
|
||||
//! dispatchables.
|
||||
//! * If a group of pallets is meant to work together, but is not foreseen to be generalized, or
|
||||
//! used by others, consider tightly coupling pallets, *if it simplifies the development*.
|
||||
//! * If a pallet needs a functionality provided by another pallet, but multiple implementations can
|
||||
//! be foreseen, consider loosely coupling pallets.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! For example, all pallets in `pezkuwi-sdk` that needed to work with currencies could have been
|
||||
//! tightly coupled with [`pallet_balances`]. But, `pezkuwi-sdk` also provides [`pallet_assets`]
|
||||
//! (and more implementations by the community), therefore all pallets use traits to loosely couple
|
||||
//! with balances or assets pallet. More on this in [`crate::reference_docs::frame_tokens`].
