# Component
## Overview
This crate is used for the initialization of the component system, which provides a priority initialization scheme based on the inventory crate.
## Usage
### Register component
Registering a crate as component by marking a function in the lib.rs with `#[init_component]` macro. The specific definition of the function can refer to the comments in the macro.
### Component initialization
Component system need to be initialized by calling `component::init_all` function and it needs information about all components. Usually it is used with the `component::parse_metadata` macro.
## Example
```rust
// comp1/lib.rs
use std::sync::atomic::AtomicU16;
use std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Relaxed;
use component::init_component;
pub static INIT_COUNT : AtomicU16 = AtomicU16::new(0);
#[init_component]
fn comp1_init() -> Result<(), component::ComponentInitError> {
assert_eq!(INIT_COUNT.load(Relaxed),0);
INIT_COUNT.fetch_add(1,Relaxed);
Ok(())
}
// src/main.rs
use std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Relaxed;
use component::init_component;
use comp1::INIT_COUNT;
#[init_component]
fn init() -> Result<(), component::ComponentInitError> {
assert_eq!(INIT_COUNT.load(Relaxed),1);
INIT_COUNT.fetch_add(1,Relaxed);
Ok(())
}
fn main(){
component::init_all(component::parse_metadata!()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(INIT_COUNT.load(Relaxed),2);
}
```
## Notes
- Currently, initialization requires the presence of a `Components.toml` file, which stores some information about components and access control. The [tests](tests/kernel/Components.toml) provides a sample file of it. If the components declared inside `Components.toml` is inconsistent with the component found by `parse_metadata` macro (i.e. A crate depends on the component library but is not declared in `Components.toml`), then a compilation error will occur.
- The `parse_metadata` macro will generate the information of all components. But ultimately which functions are called still depends on which `#[init_component]` macros are extended. If you want to test a component. Then, other components with a lower priority than it or other unused high-priority components will not be initialized at runtime.
