//! > **F**ramework for **R**untime **A**ggregation of **M**odularized **E**ntities: Substrate's
//! > State Transition Function (Runtime) Framework.
//!
//! ## Introduction
//!
//! As described in [`crate::reference_docs::wasm_meta_protocol`], at a high-level Substrate-based
//! blockchains are composed of two parts:
//!
//! 1. A *runtime* which represents the state transition function (i.e. "Business Logic") of a
//! blockchain, and is encoded as a WASM blob.
//! 2. A node whose primary purpose is to execute the given runtime.
#![doc = simple_mermaid::mermaid!("../../../mermaid/substrate_simple.mmd")]
//!
//! *FRAME is the Substrate's framework of choice to build a runtime.*
//!
//! FRAME is composed of two major components, **pallets** and a **runtime**.
//!
//! ## Pallets
//!
//! A pallet is a unit of encapsulated logic. It has a clearly defined responsibility and can be
//! linked to other pallets. In order to be reusable, pallets shipped with FRAME strive to only care
//! about its own responsibilities and make as few assumptions about the general runtime as
//! possible. A pallet is analogous to a _module_ in the runtime.
//!
//! A pallet is defined as a `mod pallet` wrapped by the [`frame::pallet`] macro. Within this macro,
//! pallet components/parts can be defined. Most notable of these parts are:
//!
//! - [Config](frame::pallet_macros::config), allowing a pallet to make itself configurable and
//! generic over types, values and such.
//! - [Storage](frame::pallet_macros::storage), allowing a pallet to define onchain storage.
//! - [Dispatchable function](frame::pallet_macros::call), allowing a pallet to define extrinsics
//! that are callable by end users, from the outer world.
//! - [Events](frame::pallet_macros::event), allowing a pallet to emit events.
//! - [Errors](frame::pallet_macros::error), allowing a pallet to emit well-formed errors.
//!
//! Some of these pallet components resemble the building blocks of a smart contract. While both
//! models are programming state transition functions of blockchains, there are crucial differences
//! between the two. See [`crate::reference_docs::runtime_vs_smart_contract`] for more.
//!
//! Most of these components are defined using macros, the full list of which can be found in
//! [`frame::pallet_macros`].
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! The following examples showcases a minimal pallet.
#![doc = docify::embed!("src/polkadot_sdk/frame_runtime.rs", pallet)]
//!
//!
//! A runtime is a collection of pallets that are amalgamated together. Each pallet typically has
//! some configurations (exposed as a `trait Config`) that needs to be *specified* in the runtime.
//! This is done with [`frame::runtime::prelude::construct_runtime`].
//!
//! A (real) runtime that actually wishes to compile to WASM needs to also implement a set of
//! runtime-apis. These implementation can be specified using the
//! [`frame::runtime::prelude::impl_runtime_apis`] macro.
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! The following example shows a (test) runtime that is composing the pallet demonstrated above,
//! next to the [`frame::prelude::frame_system`] pallet, into a runtime.
#![doc = docify::embed!("src/polkadot_sdk/frame_runtime.rs", runtime)]
//!
//! ## More Examples
//!
//! You can find more FRAME examples that revolve around specific features at [`pallet_examples`].
//!
//! ## Alternatives 🌈
//!
//! There is nothing in the Substrate's node side code-base that mandates the use of FRAME. While
//! FRAME makes it very simple to write Substrate-based runtimes, it is by no means intended to be
//! the only one. At the end of the day, any WASM blob that exposes the right set of runtime APIs is
//! a valid Runtime form the point of view of a Substrate client (see
//! [`crate::reference_docs::wasm_meta_protocol`]). Notable examples are:
//!
//! * writing a runtime in pure Rust, as done in [this template](https://github.com/JoshOrndorff/frameless-node-template).
//! * writing a runtime in AssemblyScript,as explored in [this project](https://github.com/LimeChain/subsembly).
