defmodule Membrane.Pipeline do @moduledoc """ Module containing functions for constructing and supervising pipelines. Pipelines are units that make it possible to instantiate, link and manage elements and bins in convenient way (actually they should always be used inside a pipeline). Linking pipeline children together enables them to pass data to one another, and process it in different ways. To create a pipeline, use the `__using__/1` macro and implement callbacks of `Membrane.Pipeline` behaviour. For details on instantiating and linking children, see `Membrane.ChildrenSpec`. ## Starting and supervision Pipeline can be started with `start_link/2` or `start/2` functions. They both return `{:ok, supervisor_pid, pipeline_pid}` in case of success, because the pipeline is always spawned under a dedicated supervisor. The supervisor never restarts the pipeline, but it makes sure that the pipeline and its children terminate properly. If the pipeline needs to be restarted in case of failure, it should be spawned under another supervisor with a proper strategy. ### Starting under a supervision tree The pipeline can be spawned under a supervision tree like any `GenServer`. Also, `__using__/1` macro injects a `child_spec/1` function. A simple scenario can look like: 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 and willing to interact with the pipeline by pid, `pipeline_pid` returned from `start_link` can be used, for example {:ok, _supervisor_pid, pipeline_pid} = Membrane.Pipeline.start_link(MyPipeline, option: :value) send(pipeline_pid, :message) ### Visualizing pipeline's supervision tree Pipeline's internal supervision tree can be looked up with Applications tab of Erlang's Observer or with Livebook's `Kino` library. For debugging (and ONLY for debugging) purposes, you may use the following configuration: config :membrane_core, unsafely_name_processes_for_observer: [:components] that makes the observer's process tree graph more readable by naming pipeline's descendants, for example: ![Observer graph](assets/images/observer_graph.png).
