module ActiveSupport
  # = Notifications
  #
  # +ActiveSupport::Notifications+ provides an instrumentation API for Ruby.
  #
  # == Instrumenters
  #
  # To instrument an event you just need to do:
  #
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument("render", :extra => :information) do
  #     render :text => "Foo"
  #   end
  #
  # That executes the block first and notifies all subscribers once done.
  #
  # In the example above "render" is the name of the event, and the rest is called
  # the _payload_. The payload is a mechanism that allows instrumenters to pass
  # extra information to subscribers. Payloads consist of a hash whose contents
  # are arbitrary and generally depend on the event.
  #
  # == Subscribers
  #
  # You can consume those events and the information they provide by registering
  # a subscriber. For instance, let's store all "render" events in an array:
  #
  #   events = []
  #
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("render") do |*args|
  #     events << ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event.new(*args)
  #   end
  #
  # That code returns right away, you are just subscribing to "render" events.
  # The block will be called asynchronously whenever someone instruments "render":
  #
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument("render", :extra => :information) do
  #     render :text => "Foo"
  #   end
  #
  #   event = events.first
  #   event.name      # => "render"
  #   event.duration  # => 10 (in milliseconds)
  #   event.payload   # => { :extra => :information }
  #
  # The block in the +subscribe+ call gets the name of the event, start
  # timestamp, end timestamp, a string with a unique identifier for that event
  # (something like "535801666f04d0298cd6"), and a hash with the payload, in
  # that order.
  #
  # If an exception happens during that particular instrumentation the payload will
  # have a key +:exception+ with an array of two elements as value: a string with
  # the name of the exception class, and the exception message.
  #
  # As the previous example depicts, the class +ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event+
  # is able to take the arguments as they come and provide an object-oriented
  # interface to that data.
  #
  # You can also subscribe to all events whose name matches a certain regexp:
  #
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe(/render/) do |*args|
  #     ...
  #   end
  #
  # and even pass no argument to +subscribe+, in which case you are subscribing
  # to all events.
  #
  # == Temporary Subscriptions
  #
  # Sometimes you do not want to subscribe to an event for the entire life of
  # the application. There are two ways to unsubscribe.
  #
  # === Subscribe While a Block Runs
  #
  # You can subscribe to some event temporarily while some block runs. For
  # example, in
  #
  #   callback = lambda {|*args| ... }
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribed(callback, "sql.active_record") do
  #     ...
  #   end
  #
  # the callback will be called for all "sql.active_record" events instrumented
  # during the execution of the block. The callback is unsubscribed automatically
  # after that.
  #
  # === Manual Unsubscription
  #
  # The +subscribe+ method returns a subscriber object:
  #
  #   subscriber = ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("render") do |*args|
  #     ...
  #   end
  #
  # To prevent that block from being called anymore, just unsubscribe passing
  # that reference:
  #
  #   ActiveSupport::Notifications.unsubscribe(subscriber)
  #
  # == Default Queue
  #
  # Notifications ships with a queue implementation that consumes and publish events
  # to log subscribers in a thread. You can use any queue implementation you want.
  #
