Sebastian Thiel 265b448297 feat(doit): simplify delegate calls
Now we use the DefaultDelegate as standin in case there is user-delgate.
That way, we save plenty of complexity as no additional
`if let Some(ref mut dlg) = delegate` is necesary.

Fixes #30

Everything else about the *YouTube* *v3* API can be found at the
[official documentation site](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3).
# Structure of this Library
The API is structured into the following primary items:
* **[Hub](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/struct.YouTube.html)**
* a central object to maintain state and allow accessing all *Activities*
* **[Resources](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Resource.html)**
* primary types that you can apply *Activities* to
* a collection of properties and *Parts*
* **[Parts](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Part.html)**
* a collection of properties
* never directly used in *Activities*
* **[Activities](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.MethodBuilder.html)**
* operations to apply to *Resources*
Generally speaking, you can invoke *Activities* like this:
```Rust,ignore
let r = hub.resource().activity(...).doit()
```
Or specifically ...
```ignore
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().control(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().insert(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().list(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().transition(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().update(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().delete(...).doit()
let r = hub.live_broadcasts().bind(...).doit()
```
The `resource()` and `activity(...)` calls create [builders][builder-pattern]. The second one dealing with `Activities`
supports various methods to configure the impending operation (not shown here). It is made such that all required arguments have to be
specified right away (i.e. `(...)`), whereas all optional ones can be [build up][builder-pattern] as desired.
The `doit()` method performs the actual communication with the server and returns the respective result.
# Usage
## Setting up your Project
To use this library, you would put the following lines into your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
google-youtube3 = "0.0.1"
```
## A complete example
```Rust
extern crate hyper;
extern crate "yup-oauth2" as oauth2;
extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize;
extern crate "google-youtube3" as youtube3;
use youtube3::Result;
use std::default::Default;
use oauth2::{Authenticator, DefaultAuthenticatorDelegate, ApplicationSecret, MemoryStorage};
use youtube3::YouTube;
// Get an ApplicationSecret instance by some means. It contains the `client_id` and
// `client_secret`, among other things.
let secret: ApplicationSecret = Default::default();
// Instantiate the authenticator. It will choose a suitable authentication flow for you,
// unless you replace `None` with the desired Flow.
// Provide your own `AuthenticatorDelegate` to adjust the way it operates and get feedback about
// what's going on. You probably want to bring in your own `TokenStorage` to persist tokens and
// retrieve them from storage.
let auth = Authenticator::new(&secret, DefaultAuthenticatorDelegate,
hyper::Client::new(),
<MemoryStorage as Default>::default(), None);
let mut hub = YouTube::new(hyper::Client::new(), auth);
// You can configure optional parameters by calling the respective setters at will, and
// execute the final call using `doit()`.
// Values shown here are possibly random and not representative !
let result = hub.live_broadcasts().list("part")
.page_token("sit")
.on_behalf_of_content_owner_channel("Stet")
.on_behalf_of_content_owner("sed")
.mine(false)
.max_results(83)
.id("kasd")
.broadcast_status("accusam")
.doit();
match result {
Result::HttpError(err) => println!("HTTPERROR: {:?}", err),
Result::MissingAPIKey => println!("Missing API Key"),
Result::MissingToken => println!("Missing Token"),
Result::Failure(_) => println!("General Failure (Response doesn't print)"),
Result::FieldClash(clashed_field) => println!("FIELD CLASH: {:?}", clashed_field),
Result::Success(_) => println!("Success (value doesn't print)"),
}
```
## Handling Errors
All errors produced by the system are provided either as [Result](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/enum.Result.html) enumeration as return value of
the doit() methods, or handed as possibly intermediate results to either the
[Hub Delegate](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Delegate.html), or the [Authenticator Delegate](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/../yup-oauth2/trait.AuthenticatorDelegate.html).
When delegates handle errors or intermediate values, they may have a chance to instruct the system to retry. This
makes the system potentially resilient to all kinds of errors.
## About Uploads and Downlods
If a method supports downloads, the response body, which is part of the [Result](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/enum.Result.html), should be
read by you to obtain the media.
If such a method also supports a [Response Result](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.ResponseResult.html), it will return that by default.
You can see it as meta-data for the actual media. To trigger a media download, you will have to set up the builder by making
this call: `.param("alt", "media")`.
Methods supporting uploads can do so using up to 2 different protocols:
*simple* and *resumable*. The distinctiveness of each is represented by customized
`doit(...)` methods, which are then named `upload(...)` and `upload_resumable(...)` respectively.
## About Customization/Callbacks
You may alter the way an `doit()` method is called by providing a [delegate](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Delegate.html) to the
[Method Builder](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.MethodBuilder.html) before making the final `doit()` call.
Respective methods will be called to provide progress information, as well as determine whether the system should
retry on failure.
The [delegate trait](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Delegate.html) is default-implemented, allowing you to customize it with minimal effort.
## About Parts
All structures provided by this library are made to be [enocodable](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.RequestValue.html) and
[decodable](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.ResponseResult.html) via json. Optionals are used to indicate that partial requests are responses are valid.
Most optionals are are considered [Parts](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.Part.html) which are identifyable by name, which will be sent to
the server to indicate either the set parts of the request or the desired parts in the response.
## About Builder Arguments
Using [method builders](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.MethodBuilder.html), you are able to prepare an action call by repeatedly calling it's methods.
These will always take a single argument, for which the following statements are true.
* [PODs][wiki-pod] are handed by copy
* strings are passed as `&str`
* [request values](http://byron.github.io/google-apis-rs/google-youtube3/cmn/trait.RequestValue.html) are borrowed
Arguments will always be copied or cloned into the builder, to make them independent of their original life times.
