# Script Library Guide
## 1. Introduction
The script library system standardises helper functions used across Pulse
installers. It reduces duplication, improves testability, and makes it easier to
roll out fixes across the installer fleet. Use the shared libraries when:
- Multiple scripts need the same functionality (logging, HTTP, systemd, etc.).
- You are refactoring legacy scripts to adopt the v2 pattern.
- New features require reusable helpers (e.g., additional service management).
## 2. Architecture Overview
```

### Development & Bundling Workflow

Code --> Test
Test --> Bundle
Bundle --> Dist
```
This workflow emphasizes the library's modular design: develop reusable modules in `scripts/lib`, test thoroughly, bundle for distribution, and validate bundled artifacts before release.
## 3. Using the Library in Your Script
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Example installer using shared libraries
LIB_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd)/lib"
if [[ -f "$LIB_DIR/common.sh" ]]; then
source "$LIB_DIR/common.sh"
source "$LIB_DIR/systemd.sh"
source "$LIB_DIR/http.sh"
fi
common::init "$@"
main() {
common::ensure_root --allow-sudo --args "$@"
common::log_info "Starting installation..."
# ...script logic...
}
main "$@"
```
## 4. Common Migration Patterns
**Logging**
```bash
# Before
echo "[INFO] Installing..."
# After
common::log_info "Installing..."
```
**Privilege Escalation**
```bash
# Before
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "Must run as root"; exit 1
fi
# After
common::ensure_root --allow-sudo --args "$@"
```
**Downloads**
```bash
# Before
curl -o file.tar.gz http://example.com/file.tar.gz
# After
http::download --url http://example.com/file.tar.gz --output file.tar.gz
```
**Systemd Unit Creation**
```bash
# Before
cat > /etc/systemd/system/my.service <<'EOF'
...
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable my.service
systemctl start my.service
# After
systemd::create_service /etc/systemd/system/my.service <<'EOF'
...
EOF
systemd::enable_and_start "my.service"
```
## 5. Creating New Library Modules
Create a new module when functionality is reused across scripts or complex
enough to warrant dedicated helpers. Template:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Module: mymodule.sh
mymodule::do_thing() {
local arg="$1"
# implementation
}
```
Add the module to `scripts/lib`, document exported functions in
`scripts/lib/README.md`, and update `scripts/bundle.manifest` for any bundles
that need it.
## 6. Testing Requirements
Every migrated script must include:
1. Smoke test (`scripts/tests/test-
