## Installation

**Add to your Gemfile:**

```ruby
gem "bubblezone"
```

**Or install directly:**

```bash
gem install bubblezone
```

## Usage

### Basic Zone Marking

**Initialize the global zone manager:**

```ruby
require "bubblezone"

Bubblezone.new_global
```

**Mark a region with an ID:**

```ruby
button = Bubblezone.mark("my_button", "Click Me")
```

**Build your layout and scan to register zones:**

```ruby
layout = "Header\n#{button}\nFooter"
output = Bubblezone.scan(layout)
puts output
```

**Output:**

```
Header
Click Me
Footer
```

### Getting Zone Information

**Get zone info by ID:**

```ruby
zone = Bubblezone.get("my_button")
```

**Check zone bounds:**

```ruby
if zone
  puts "Zone bounds: (#{zone.start_x}, #{zone.start_y}) to (#{zone.end_x}, #{zone.end_y})"
end
```

### Checking Mouse Coordinates

**Get coordinates from mouse event:**

```ruby
x, y = message.x, message.y
```

**Check if coordinates are within a zone:**

```ruby
zone = Bubblezone.get("my_button")
if zone&.in_bounds?(x, y)
  puts "Button clicked!"
end
```

### Iterating Over Zones

**Iterate over all zones containing the coordinates:**

```ruby
Bubblezone.each_in_bounds(x, y) do |id, zone|
  puts "Hit zone: #{id}"
end
```

**Check if any zone contains the coordinates:**

```ruby
if Bubblezone.any_in_bounds?(x, y)
  puts "Something was clicked"
end
```

**Get the first matching zone:**

```ruby
result = Bubblezone.find_in_bounds(x, y)
if result
  id, zone = result
  puts "First hit: #{id}"
end
```

### Zone Prefixes

**Prevent ID conflicts between components:**

```ruby
class MyComponent
  def initialize
    @prefix = Bubblezone.new_prefix
  end

def view
    items = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
    items.map.with_index do |item, i|
      Bubblezone.mark("#{@prefix}#{i}", item)
    end.join("\n")
  end
end
```

### Manager Instances

**Create a dedicated manager:**

```ruby
manager = Bubblezone::Manager.new
```

**Use the same API as the global manager:**

```ruby
marked = manager.mark("zone_id", "Content")
output = manager.scan(marked)
zone = manager.get("zone_id")
```

**Iterate zones:**

```ruby
manager.each_in_bounds(x, y) { |id, zone| ... }
```

**Clean up when done:**

```ruby
manager.close
```

### Integration with Bubbletea

**Handle mouse clicks in a Bubbletea model:**

```ruby
require "bubbletea"
require "bubblezone"

Bubblezone.new_global

class ClickableApp
  include Bubbletea::Model

ITEMS = ["Option A", "Option B", "Option C"]

def initialize
    @selected = nil
    @prefix = Bubblezone.new_prefix
  end

def init
    [self, nil]
  end

def update(message)
    case message
    when Bubbletea::MouseMessage
      if message.release? && (message.left? || message.button == 0)
        result = Bubblezone.find_in_bounds(message.x, message.y)
        if result
          id, _zone = result
          @selected = id.sub(@prefix, "").to_i
        end
      end
      [self, nil]
    when Bubbletea::KeyMessage
      return [self, Bubbletea.quit] if message.to_s == "q"
      [self, nil]
    else
      [self, nil]
    end
  end

def view
    lines = ITEMS.map.with_index do |item, i|
      marker = i == @selected ? "[x]" : "[ ]"
      content = "#{marker} #{item}"
      Bubblezone.mark("#{@prefix}#{i}", content)
    end

Bubblezone.scan(lines.join("\n"))
  end
end

Bubbletea.run(ClickableApp.new, alt_screen: true, mouse_cell_motion: true)
```

### Integration with Lipgloss

**Style your content first:**

```ruby
require "lipgloss"
require "bubblezone"

Bubblezone.new_global

button_style = Lipgloss::Style.new
  .background("#7D56F4")
  .foreground("#FFFFFF")
  .padding(0, 3)
```

**Mark the fully styled content:**

```ruby
styled_button = button_style.render("Click Me")
clickable_button = Bubblezone.mark("btn", styled_button)
```

**Scan to register zones:**

```ruby
output = Bubblezone.scan(clickable_button)
```

## Important Notes

### Zone Processing is Asynchronous

The Go bubblezone library processes zones asynchronously. After calling `scan`, there may be a brief delay before zones are available via `get`. In interactive applications with Bubbletea, this is typically not an issue as mouse events occur after rendering.

### Coordinate Systems

When using `alt_screen: true` with Bubbletea, mouse coordinates are relative to (0, 0) at the top-left of the screen, matching zone coordinates exactly. Without alt screen, you may need to account for terminal scroll position.

### Order of Operations

1. Style your content with Lipgloss
2. Mark the styled content with `Bubblezone.mark`
3. Build your complete layout
4. Call `Bubblezone.scan` on the final output
5. Handle mouse events using `get` or `find_in_bounds`
