# Implementation Summary: Provider-Based Website Builder Architecture
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
Successfully refactored the Bazel website builder to use a provider-based architecture that makes the system extensible to different static site generators while maintaining 100% backwards compatibility.
6+
7+
## What Was Implemented
8+
9+
### 1. Provider Layer ✅
10+
11+
**File**: `bazel/website/providers.bzl`
12+
13+
- `WebsiteAssetInfo`: Provider for typed assets with fields:
14+
- `files`: depset of files
15+
- `asset_type`: string identifier (markdown, jinja, rst, scss, static, rust_component, etc)
16+
- `prefix`: mount point in source tree
17+
18+
- `WebsiteGeneratorInfo`: Provider for generators with fields:
19+
- `executable`: the build tool
20+
- `accepts`: list of asset_types this generator handles
21+
- `output_path`: where it puts output
22+
- `dev_server`: optional dev mode executable
23+
24+
### 2. Base Asset Rules ✅
25+
26+
**File**: `bazel/website/assets.bzl`
27+
28+
- `_asset_impl`: Implementation that produces `WebsiteAssetInfo`
29+
- `static_assets`: Generic rule for any asset type
30+
- Backwards compatible: produces both providers and `pkg_files`
31+
32+
### 3. Typed Asset Rules ✅
33+
34+
**Content Assets** (`bazel/website/content/`):
35+
- `markdown.bzl`: `markdown_assets` rule for markdown content
36+
- `rst.bzl`: `rst_assets` rule for reStructuredText content
37+
38+
**Template Assets** (`bazel/website/templates/`):
39+
- `jinja.bzl`: `jinja_templates` rule for Jinja2 templates
40+
- `rst.bzl`: `rst_templates` rule for RST templates (Sphinx)
41+
42+
Each produces `WebsiteAssetInfo` with appropriate `asset_type`.
43+
44+
### 4. Generator Rules ✅
45+
46+
**Pelican** (`bazel/website/generators/pelican.bzl`):
47+
- `pelican_generator`: Wraps Pelican with `WebsiteGeneratorInfo`
48+
- Accepts: markdown, rst, jinja, scss, css, js, static
49+
- Production-ready, uses existing Pelican tool
50+
51+
**Mock Generator** (`bazel/website/generators/mock.bzl`):
52+
- `mock_generator`: Simple test generator
53+
- Configurable accepted types
54+
- Creates minimal HTML output for validation
55+
56+
**Sphinx Skeleton** (`bazel/website/generators/sphinx.bzl`):
57+
- `sphinx_generator`: Skeleton proving RST generators work
58+
- Accepts: rst, markdown, sphinx_theme, css, js, static
59+
- Ready for community to complete implementation
60+
61+
**Yew/WASM Skeleton** (`bazel/website/generators/yew.bzl`):
62+
- `yew_generator`: Skeleton proving Rust/WASM generators work
63+
- Accepts: rust_component, css, js, static, wasm
64+
- `rust_assets`: Helper for Rust component assets
65+
- Ready for community to complete implementation
66+
67+
### 5. Updated static_website Macro ✅
68+
69+
**File**: `bazel/website/macros.bzl`
70+
71+
- Added provider imports
72+
- Added helper functions for asset introspection
73+
- Enhanced documentation
74+
- **100% backwards compatible**: all existing calls work unchanged
75+
76+
### 6. Comprehensive Tests ✅
77+
78+
**Existing Tests** (all pass):
79+
- `website_generation_test`: Basic Pelican generation
80+
- `website_parameterized_test`: Custom configurations
81+
- `website_compression_test`: Compression support
82+
83+
**New Provider Tests** (`provider_architecture_test`):
84+
- Tests `WebsiteAssetInfo` attachment by asset rules
85+
- Tests `WebsiteGeneratorInfo` attachment by generator rules
86+
- Tests mock generator with markdown assets
87+
- Tests Sphinx skeleton generator
88+
- Tests Yew/WASM skeleton generator
89+
- Tests mixed asset types
90+
91+
### 7. Directory Structure ✅

### 8. Documentation ✅
120+
121+
**PROVIDERS.md**: Complete documentation covering:
122+
- Architecture overview
123+
- Provider definitions
124+
- Asset rules usage
125+
- Generator rules usage
126+
- Backwards compatibility
127+
- Testing approach

138+
## Validation Results
139+
140+
### All Tests Pass ✓
141+
142+
```
143+
//website/tests:provider_architecture_test PASSED
144+
//website/tests:website_compression_test PASSED
145+
//website/tests:website_generation_test PASSED
146+
//website/tests:website_parameterized_test PASSED
147+
```
148+
149+
### Backwards Compatibility Verified ✓
150+
151+
- Existing Pelican-based test sites build and generate correct output
152+
- No changes required to existing `static_website` calls
153+
- Asset rules produce both providers and pkg_files
154+
155+
### Extensibility Proven ✓
156+
157+
- Mock generator successfully processes markdown assets
158+
- Sphinx skeleton proves RST-based generators are viable
159+
- Yew skeleton proves Rust/WASM generators are viable
160+
- Framework ready for community contributions
161+
162+
## Key Design Decisions
163+
164+
1. **Dual Output**: Asset rules produce both providers (new) and pkg_files (backwards compat)
165+
2. **Optional Providers**: Generators can work with or without provider introspection
166+
3. **Skeleton Generators**: Included minimal but functional skeletons to prove extensibility
167+
4. **No Breaking Changes**: All existing code continues to work unchanged
168+
169+
## Future Extensibility
170+
171+
The framework is ready for:
172+
173+
- **Hugo**: Static site generator using Go templates
174+
- **Jekyll**: Ruby-based static site generator
175+
- **MkDocs**: Python documentation generator
176+
- **Docusaurus**: React-based documentation site
177+
- **mdBook**: Rust documentation tool
178+
- **Custom generators**: Any tool can be wrapped with the provider interface
179+
180+
## Testing Strategy
181+
182+
1. **Unit Tests**: Each provider attachment is verified
183+
2. **Integration Tests**: Complete website generation workflows
184+
3. **Backwards Compatibility**: All existing tests continue to pass
185+
4. **Extensibility Tests**: Skeleton generators prove new types work
186+
187+
## Conclusion
188+
189+
The refactoring successfully:
190+
- ✅ Creates a provider-based architecture
191+
- ✅ Makes the system extensible to any generator
192+
- ✅ Maintains 100% backwards compatibility
193+
- ✅ Includes comprehensive tests
194+
- ✅ Provides complete documentation
195+
- ✅ Proves extensibility with skeletons
196+
197+
All requirements from the problem statement have been met.
