# Mindtrace Core

The foundational module of the Mindtrace ML framework, providing essential utilities, base classes, and core abstractions used across all other Mindtrace modules.

## Purpose

`mindtrace-core` serves as the foundation layer (Level 1) in the Mindtrace architecture, offering:

- **Base Classes**: Abstract base classes and metaclasses for consistent architecture
- **Configuration Management**: Centralized configuration handling
- **Event System**: Observable patterns and event bus for inter-component communication
- **Utilities**: Common utility functions for dynamic imports, type checking, and more
- **Logging**: Structured logging capabilities

## Installation

```bash
# Install as standalone package
uv add mindtrace-core

# Or install as part of full Mindtrace
uv add mindtrace
```

## Architecture

The core module is organized into several submodules:

### Base Classes (`base/`)
- `MindtraceABC`: Abstract base class for all Mindtrace components
- `MindtraceMeta`: Metaclass providing common functionality
- `Mindtrace`: Main base class with core functionality

### Configuration (`config/`)
- `Config`: Centralized configuration management system

### Observables (`observables/`)
- `EventBus`: Publish-subscribe event system
- `ObservableContext`: Context management with observation capabilities
- `ContextListener`: Event listening and handling

### Utilities (`utils/`)
- `checks`: Type checking and validation utilities
- `dynamic`: Dynamic class instantiation and import helpers

### Logging (`logging/`)
- Structured logging configuration and utilities



### Core Classes

#### `Mindtrace`
Base class for all Mindtrace components.

```python
class MyProcessor(Mindtrace):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
```

#### `Config`
The Config class in Mindtrace provides a configuration layer designed to unify various sources of configuration— Pydantic models, Settings, Dict objects in a single, easy-to-use object with attribute access, and dynamic overrides.

```python
from mindtrace.core.config import Config

# Pass a dictionary
config = Config({"MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS":{"TEMP":"~/tmp"}})

# Access config values
print(config["MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS"]["TEMP"])      
# Attribute-style access
print(config.MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS.TEMP)
```

For detailed usage of the Config class—including how it's used within the Mindtrace class—refer to the [Usage documentation](https://github.com/Mindtrace/mindtrace/tree/dev/samples/core/config)

#### `Logging`
The `get_logger` function provides a unified way to configure logging across your application. It can return either a standard Python logger or a structlog
 logger, based on user-defined arguments or below [CoreConfig](../core/mindtrace/core/config/config.ini) settings (lower priority).
```
[MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS]
STRUCT_LOGGER_DIR = ${MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS:ROOT}/structlogs
LOGGER_DIR = ${MINDTRACE_DIR_PATHS:ROOT}/logs
[MINDTRACE_LOGGER]
USE_STRUCTLOG = False
```

##### Basic Logger

Setup basic logger to produce logs in `~/.cache/mindtrace/logs`. 
Here, by default propogation is set to true, and you should be able to see logs in `tail -f ~/.cache/mindtrace/logs/mindtrace.log` and `tail -f ~/.cache/mindtrace/logs/modules/mindtrace.core.module.log` files

```python
from mindtrace.core.logging.logger import get_logger

# Create a standard logger
logger = get_logger("core.module")
logger.info("Logger configured with custom settings.")
```

##### Structured Logger
Setup structlog to log structured events: dictionaries of key-value pairs that can later be searched, filtered, or transformed (e.g., into JSON).
Here, by default propogation is set to true, and you should be able to see structured logs in `tail -f ~/.cache/mindtrace/structlogs/mindtrace.log` and `tail -f ~/.cache/mindtrace/structlogs/modules/mindtrace.core.module.log` files
```python
from mindtrace.core.logging.logger import get_logger

# Create a structlog logger with custom bindings
slogger = get_logger(
    "core.module",
    use_structlog=True,
    structlog_bind={"service": "my-service"},
)

slogger.info("Structured log", user_id="123")
```
In above example, we illustrate structlog’s ability to 
- bind context to a logger, which ensures that certain fields are automatically included in every log message. This is especially useful for adding consistent metadata like service name, environment, or version without repeating it in every log call.
- Extra fields like user_id="123" can be passed per log call, allowing dynamic, event-specific data to be added.

##### Mindtrace autolog
`Mindtrace.autolog` automatically logs function execution (start, end, duration, exceptions, and optional system metrics).
It supports sync, async, and static functions with both standard and structured logging formats. See a full usage example [here](/samples/core/logging/using_autologger.py)

```python
from mindtrace.core import Mindtrace

class DataProcessor(Mindtrace):
    @Mindtrace.autolog()
    def process_data(self, data_list, batch_size=100):
        # Function automatically logged
        return [item * 2 for item in data_list]
```

### Observables

The Observables module enables lightweight observability and reactivity for class objects, automatically turning selected properties into observable variables. This framework allows external components (listeners) to be notified whenever specific values change, without hard-coding the coupling between the source and observers.

There are three main classes included in the `observables` module:

---

### 1. `EventBus`

The `EventBus` is a lightweight internal publish-subscribe system for event dispatching. 

**API:**

Event buses expose three main methods, which may be used to `subscribe`/`unsubscribe` individual listeners and `emit` event messages.

```python
subscribe(handler: Callable, event_name: str) -> str
unsubscribe(handler_or_id: Union[str, Callable], event_name: str)
emit(event_name: str, **kwargs)
```

**Example Usage:**
To use an event bus, subscribe a handler to the bus with an associated event name. The handler will be called any time the event name is emitted. 

```python
from mindtrace.core import EventBus

bus = EventBus()    

def handler(**kwargs):
    print(kwargs)

bus.subscribe(handler, "event")
bus.emit("event", x="1", y="2")  # {'x': '1', 'y': '2'}

bus.unsubscribe(handler, "event")
bus.emit("event", x="1", y="2")  # No output
```

---

### 2. `ObservableContext`

The `ObservableContext` class decorator automatically turns specified properties into observable fields and wires up listener support.

The `ObservableContext` class supports two specific event types, with associated event names:

1. `context_updated(source: str, var: str, old: any, new: any)`: May be used when _any_ observed variable changes. The name of the variable will be given as the `var` argument, with associated old and new values.
2. `{var}_updated(source: str, old: any, new: any)`: May be used to listen to specific variables. 

**API:**

The `ObservableContext` decorator adds `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` methods onto a wrapped class, which may be used directly analogously to with the `EventBus`.

```python
subscribe(handler, event_name)
unsubscribe(handler_or_id, event_name)
```

**Example Usage:**

When subscribing a class-derived listener, define a `context_updated` method which will be notified anytime any observable variable is updated, or specific `{var}_updated` methods, which will be notified when the associated variable is updated.

```python
class MyListener:
    def context_updated(self, source, var, old, new):  # May be omitted, `{var}_updated` methods will be called automatically
        if var == "x":
            return self.x_updated(source, old, new)
        elif var == "y":
            return self.y_updated(source, old, new)
    def x_updated(...): ...
    def y_updated(...): ...
```

Listeners may subscribe to any class that has been decorated with the `ObservableContext` decorator, listening to any of the listed `vars` in the decorator.

```python
from mindtrace.core import ObservableContext

@ObservableContext(vars=["x", "y"])
class MyContext:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 0
        self.y = 0

class MyListener:
    def x_changed(self, source, old, new):
        print(f"[{source}] x changed from {old} to {new}")

my_context = MyContext()
my_context.subscribe(MyListener())

my_context.x = 1  # [MyContext] x changed from 0 to 1
```

---

### 3. `ContextListener(Mindtrace)`

The `ContextListener` class is a helper class for defining observers that respond to context changes. This class is meant to provide two benefits: (1) deriving from the `Mindtrace` base class, it provides for uniform logging of events and (2) the default ContextListener class can be used to automatically log changes to variables, optionally with a custom logger.

**Example usage:**
```python
from mindtrace.core import ContextListener, ObservableContext

@ObservableContext(vars={"x": int, "y": int})
class MyContext:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 0
        self.y = 0

my_context = MyContext()
my_context.subscribe(ContextListener(autolog=["x", "y"], logger=...))  # May provide custom logger if desired

my_context.x = 1
my_context.y = 2

# Logs:
# [MyContext] x changed: 0 → 1
# [MyContext] y changed: 0 → 2  
```

### Utility Functions

#### `check_libs(*libs)`
Verify required libraries are installed.

```python
from mindtrace.core import check_libs
check_libs("numpy", "pandas")  # Raises ImportError if missing
```

#### `ifnone(value, default)`
Return default if value is None.

```python
from mindtrace.core import ifnone
result = ifnone(potentially_none_value, "default")
```

#### `instantiate_target(target, **kwargs)`
Dynamically instantiate a class from string reference.

```python
from mindtrace.core import instantiate_target
instance = instantiate_target("my.module.MyClass", param="value")
```
