// Note that the types provided in this file are not versioned and are intended to be

// type MyAwesomeAPIObject struct {
//      runtime.TypeMeta    `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
//      ... // other fields
// }
// func (*MyAwesomeAPIObject) IsAnAPIObject() {}

// EmbeddedObject has appropriate encoder and decoder functions, such that on the wire, it's
// stored as a []byte, but in memory, the contained object is accessible as an Object
// via the Get() function. Only valid API objects may be stored via EmbeddedObject.
// The purpose of this is to allow an API object of type known only at runtime to be
// embedded within other API objects.
//
// Note that object assumes that you've registered all of your api types with the api package.
//
// EmbeddedObject and RawExtension can be used together to allow for API object extensions:
// see the comment for RawExtension.
type EmbeddedObject struct {
	Object
}

// RawExtension is used with EmbeddedObject to do a two-phase encoding of extension objects.
//
// To use this, make a field which has RawExtension as its type in your external, versioned
// struct, and EmbeddedObject in your internal struct. You also need to register your
// various plugin types.
//
// // Internal package:
// type MyAPIObject struct {
// 	runtime.TypeMeta `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
//	MyPlugin runtime.EmbeddedObject `json:"myPlugin" yaml:"myPlugin"`
// }
// type PluginA struct {
// 	runtime.PluginBase `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
//	AOption string `yaml:"aOption" json:"aOption"`
// }
//
// // External package:
// type MyAPIObject struct {
// 	runtime.TypeMeta `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
//	MyPlugin runtime.RawExtension `json:"myPlugin" yaml:"myPlugin"`
// }
// type PluginA struct {
// 	runtime.PluginBase `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
//	AOption string `yaml:"aOption" json:"aOption"`
// }
//
// // On the wire, the JSON will look something like this:
// {
//	"kind":"MyAPIObject",
//	"apiVersion":"v1beta1",
//	"myPlugin": {
//		"kind":"PluginA",
//		"aOption":"foo",
//	},
// }
//
// So what happens? Decode first uses json or yaml to unmarshal the serialized data into
// your external MyAPIObject. That causes the raw JSON to be stored, but not unpacked.
// The next step is to copy (using pkg/conversion) into the internal struct. The runtime
// package's DefaultScheme has conversion functions installed which will unpack the
// JSON stored in RawExtension, turning it into the correct object type, and storing it
// in the EmbeddedObject. (TODO: In the case where the object is of an unknown type, a
// runtime.Unknown object will be created and stored.)
type RawExtension struct {
	RawJSON []byte
}

// Unknown allows api objects with unknown types to be passed-through. This can be used
// to deal with the API objects from a plug-in. Unknown objects still have functioning
// TypeMeta features-- kind, version, resourceVersion, etc.
// TODO: Not implemented yet!
type Unknown struct {
	TypeMeta `yaml:",inline" json:",inline"`
	// RawJSON will hold the complete JSON of the object which couldn't be matched
	// with a registered type. Most likely, nothing should be done with this
	// except for passing it through the system.
	RawJSON []byte
