defmodule Blogex.LinkValidator do
@moduledoc """
Validates internal blog link semantics in compiled post bodies.
Post bodies reach this module as HTML: `Blogex.Blog` validates them in
`@before_compile`, after NimblePublisher has rendered the markdown. Markdown
link syntax is still understood so bodies and snippets can be validated
before rendering, but the HTML `<a href="…">` anchors are the ones that
matter in the real pipeline.
Checks that internal links follow the pattern `/blog/{blog_id}/{slug}`
where `blog_id` is a valid blog identifier and `slug` matches the
expected format (lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens).
This module is pure and does not depend on any stored posts — it validates
link format and semantics only. Post existence checking is handled separately.
## Valid blog IDs
* `:engineering` — maps to `/blog/engineering/`
* `:release_notes` — maps to `/blog/releases/`
## Valid slug format
* Lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens only
* Must not start or end with a hyphen
* Must not contain consecutive hyphens
* Query strings and anchor fragments are allowed after the slug
## Tag page links
* `/blog/{blog_id}/tag/{tag}` links point to tag pages
* The tag may not be empty; otherwise any non-empty tag is accepted
(tags are user-defined and may contain dots, uppercase letters, etc.)
## Usage
# Validate a single link
LinkValidator.validate_link("/blog/engineering/hello-world")
# => :ok
# Validate multiple links with line numbers
LinkValidator.validate_links(["/blog/engineering/a", "/blog/bad/b"])
# => {:error, [{2, "/blog/bad/b", "unknown blog ID: bad"}]}
# Validate all links in a post body
LinkValidator.validate_body(body, :engineering, post_id: "my-post")
# => :ok or {:error, [...]}

@doc """
Extracts internal blog links from a post body.
Returns a list of link paths (strings) that look like `/blog/…` links.
External links and non-blog internal links are ignored. Blog IDs and slugs
are *not* judged here — `validate_link/1` classifies those.
HTML anchors are read with Floki, so attribute order, quoting and extra
attributes do not matter. Markdown link syntax `[text](url)` is extracted
too (raw markdown bodies and snippets), and the two scans are merged.
## Examples
iex> extract_links("[link](/blog/engineering/post)")
["/blog/engineering/post"]
iex> extract_links("<p><a href=\\"/blog/engineering/post\\">link</a></p>")
["/blog/engineering/post"]
iex> extract_links("<p><a class=\\"x\\" href='/blog/engineering/post'>link</a></p>")
["/blog/engineering/post"]
