;;; Commentary:

;; Minor modes are useful and common.  This package makes defining a
;; minor mode easy, by focusing on the writing of the minor mode
;; functionalities themselves.  Moreover, this package enforces a
;; conventional naming of user interface primitives, making things
;; natural for the minor-mode end-users.

;; For each mode, easy-mmode defines the following:
;; <mode>      : The minor mode predicate. A buffer-local variable.
;; <mode>-map  : The keymap possibly associated to <mode>.
;;       see `define-minor-mode' documentation
;;
;; eval
;;  (pp (macroexpand '(define-minor-mode <your-mode> <doc>)))
;; to check the result before using it.

;; The order in which minor modes are installed is important.  Keymap
;; lookup proceeds down minor-mode-map-alist, and the order there
;; tends to be the reverse of the order in which the modes were
;; installed.  Perhaps there should be a feature to let you specify
;; orderings.

;; Additionally to `define-minor-mode', the package provides convenient
;; ways to define keymaps, and other helper functions for major and minor modes.

;;; Code:

(defun easy-mmode-pretty-mode-name (mode &optional lighter)
  "Turn the symbol MODE into a string intended for the user.
If provided, LIGHTER will be used to help choose capitalization by,
replacing its case-insensitive matches with the literal string in LIGHTER."
  (let* ((case-fold-search t)
	 ;; Produce "Foo-Bar minor mode" from foo-bar-minor-mode.
	 (name (concat (replace-regexp-in-string
			;; If the original mode name included "-minor" (some
			;; of them don't, e.g. auto-revert-mode), then
			;; replace it with " minor".
			"-Minor" " minor"
			;; "foo-bar-minor" -> "Foo-Bar-Minor"
			(capitalize (replace-regexp-in-string
				     ;; "foo-bar-minor-mode" -> "foo-bar-minor"
				     "toggle-\\|-mode\\'" ""
                                     (symbol-name mode))))
		       " mode")))
    (if (not (stringp lighter)) name
      ;; Strip leading and trailing whitespace from LIGHTER.
      (setq lighter (replace-regexp-in-string "\\`\\s-+\\|\\s-+\\'" ""
					      lighter))
      ;; Replace any (case-insensitive) matches for LIGHTER in NAME
      ;; with a literal LIGHTER.  E.g., if NAME is "Iimage mode" and
      ;; LIGHTER is " iImag", then this will produce "iImage mode".
      ;; (LIGHTER normally comes from the mode-line string passed to
      ;; define-minor-mode, and normally includes at least one leading
      ;; space.)
      (replace-regexp-in-string (regexp-quote lighter) lighter name t t))))

;;;###autoload
(defalias 'easy-mmode-define-minor-mode 'define-minor-mode)
;;;###autoload
(defmacro define-minor-mode (mode doc &optional init-value lighter keymap &rest body)
  "Define a new minor mode MODE.
This defines the toggle command MODE and (by default) a control variable
MODE (you can override this with the :variable keyword, see below).
DOC is the documentation for the mode toggle command.

The defined mode command takes one optional (prefix) argument.
Interactively with no prefix argument, it toggles the mode.
A prefix argument enables the mode if the argument is positive,
and disables it otherwise.

When called from Lisp, the mode command toggles the mode if the
argument is `toggle', disables the mode if the argument is a
non-positive integer, and enables the mode otherwise (including
if the argument is omitted or nil or a positive integer).

If DOC is nil, give the mode command a basic doc-string
documenting what its argument does.

Optional INIT-VALUE is the initial value of the mode's variable.
Optional LIGHTER is displayed in the mode line when the mode is on.
Optional KEYMAP is the default keymap bound to the mode keymap.
  If non-nil, it should be a variable name (whose value is a keymap),
  or an expression that returns either a keymap or a list of
  arguments for `easy-mmode-define-keymap'.  If you supply a KEYMAP
  argument that is not a symbol, this macro defines the variable
  MODE-map and gives it the value that KEYMAP specifies.

BODY contains code to execute each time the mode is enabled or disabled.
  It is executed after toggling the mode, and before running MODE-hook.
  Before the actual body code, you can write keyword arguments, i.e.
  alternating keywords and values.  If you provide BODY, then you must
  provide (even if just nil) INIT-VALUE, LIGHTER, and KEYMAP, or provide
  at least one keyword argument, or both; otherwise, BODY would be
  misinterpreted as the first omitted argument.  The following special
  keywords are supported (other keywords are passed to `defcustom' if
  the minor mode is global):

:group GROUP	Custom group name to use in all generated `defcustom' forms.
		Defaults to MODE without the possible trailing \"-mode\".
		Don't use this default group name unless you have written a
		`defgroup' to define that group properly.
:global GLOBAL	If non-nil specifies that the minor mode is not meant to be
		buffer-local, so don't make the variable MODE buffer-local.
		By default, the mode is buffer-local.
:init-value VAL	Same as the INIT-VALUE argument.
		Not used if you also specify :variable.
:lighter SPEC	Same as the LIGHTER argument.
:keymap MAP	Same as the KEYMAP argument.
:require SYM	Same as in `defcustom'.
:variable PLACE	The location to use instead of the variable MODE to store
		the state of the mode.	This can be simply a different
		named variable, or a generalized variable.
		PLACE can also be of the form (GET . SET), where GET is
		an expression that returns the current state, and SET is
		a function that takes one argument, the new state, and
		sets it.  If you specify a :variable, this function does
		not define a MODE variable (nor any of the terms used
		in :variable).

:after-hook     A single lisp form which is evaluated after the mode hooks
                have been run.  It should not be quoted.

For example, you could write
  (define-minor-mode foo-mode \"If enabled, foo on you!\"
    :lighter \" Foo\" :require 'foo :global t :group 'hassle :version \"27.5\"
    ...BODY CODE...)"

  "Make a global mode GLOBAL-MODE corresponding to buffer-local minor MODE.
TURN-ON is a function that will be called with no args in every buffer
  and that should try to turn MODE on if applicable for that buffer.
KEYS is a list of CL-style keyword arguments.  As the minor mode
  defined by this function is always global, any :global keyword is
  ignored.  Other keywords have the same meaning as in `define-minor-mode',
  which see.  In particular, :group specifies the custom group.
  The most useful keywords are those that are passed on to the
  `defcustom'.  It normally makes no sense to pass the :lighter
  or :keymap keywords to `define-globalized-minor-mode', since these
  are usually passed to the buffer-local version of the minor mode.

If MODE's set-up depends on the major mode in effect when it was
enabled, then disabling and reenabling MODE should make MODE work
correctly with the current major mode.  This is important to
prevent problems with derived modes, that is, major modes that
call another major mode in their body.

When a major mode is initialized, MODE is actually turned on just
after running the major mode's hook.  However, MODE is not turned
on if the hook has explicitly disabled it."
