## Installation & Setup

### 1. Install via pip (future)
```bash
pip install easy-modal
```

### 2. Local Development Setup
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-org/easy-modal
cd easy-modal
pip install -e .
```

## Core Features

### 1. Zero-Configuration Deployment
- Automatic Modal authentication setup
- Smart dependency detection
- ASGI app wrapping with proper queue configuration
- Single container deployment for sticky sessions

### 2. Multiple Deployment Modes

#### Minimum Mode (default)
- CPU-only deployment
- Essential dependencies: gradio, fastapi, uvicorn
- Fast deployment, minimal resource usage

#### Optimized Mode
- GPU-enabled deployment
- ML libraries: torch, transformers, accelerate, diffusers
- Enhanced for machine learning workloads

#### Step-by-Step Wizard
- Interactive configuration
- Guided deployment process
- Perfect for beginners

### 3. Advanced Configuration
- YAML-based configuration files
- Volume and Secret management
- Custom image packages
- Environment variable handling

## Usage Examples

### Basic Usage
```bash
# Deploy a simple Gradio app
easy-modal deploy my_app.py

# Deploy with GPU support and ML libraries
easy-modal --optimized my_ml_app.py

# Interactive guided deployment
easy-modal --step-by-step my_app.py
```

### Authentication
```bash
# Interactive setup
easy-modal auth

# Direct token setup
easy-modal auth --token-id YOUR_ID --token-secret YOUR_SECRET

# Environment variable setup
export MODAL_TOKEN_ID=your_token_id
export MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET=your_token_secret
easy-modal deploy my_app.py
```

### Configuration Management
```bash
# Generate sample config
easy-modal config --generate

# View current config
easy-modal config
```

## Implementation Details

### Modal Integration Points

1. **Authentication**: Automatic `modal setup` or environment variable configuration
2. **Image Building**: Dynamic pip package installation based on mode
3. **ASGI Mounting**: Proper Gradio-to-FastAPI integration via `mount_gradio_app`
4. **Resource Management**: Single container with sticky sessions for state persistence
5. **Queuing**: Gradio queue configuration for concurrent request handling

### Key Technical Decisions

1. **Single Container Deployment**: Uses `max_containers=1` to ensure sticky sessions for Gradio state management
2. **Queue-based Concurrency**: Implements `demo.queue()` + `@modal.concurrent(max_inputs=100)` for handling multiple users
3. **Automatic Discovery**: Scans Python files for Gradio interface objects (demo, app, interface, iface)
4. **Safe Imports**: Adds original app directory to Python path for proper module importing

### Error Handling & Validation

- Pre-deployment validation of Gradio apps
- Modal authentication verification
- Dependency conflict resolution
- Graceful error messages with actionable suggestions

## Example Gradio Apps

### Simple App (examples/simple_app.py)
```python
import gradio as gr

def greet(name, intensity):
    """Simple greeting function"""
    return "Hello, " + name + "!" * int(intensity)

# Create a Gradio interface
demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=greet,
    inputs=[
        gr.Textbox(label="Name", placeholder="Enter your name"),
        gr.Slider(minimum=1, maximum=10, step=1, label="Enthusiasm Level")
    ],
    outputs=gr.Textbox(label="Greeting"),
    title="Greeting App",
    description="A simple greeting application"
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()
```

### Complex App (examples/complex_app.py)
```python
import gradio as gr
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

def process_image(image, enhancement_level, apply_filter):
    """Process an image with simulated ML effects"""
    if isinstance(image, Image.Image):
        img_array = np.array(image)
    else:
        img_array = image

    # Apply enhancement (brightness adjustment)
    enhanced = img_array * (enhancement_level / 5.0)
    enhanced = np.clip(enhanced, 0, 255).astype(np.uint8)

    # Apply filter if requested
    if apply_filter:
        # Simple edge detection simulation
        gray = np.mean(enhanced, axis=2).astype(np.uint8)
        # Convert back to RGB
        enhanced = np.stack([gray, gray, gray], axis=2)

    return enhanced

        with gr.Column():
            input_image = gr.Image(label="Input Image", type="numpy")
            enhancement = gr.Slider(minimum=1, maximum=10, value=5, step=0.1, label="Enhancement Level")
            filter_checkbox = gr.Checkbox(label="Apply Edge Detection")
            process_btn = gr.Button("Process Image")

            info = f"Processed with enhancement level {level}"
            if apply_filter:
                info += " and edge detection"
            return result, info
        except Exception as e:
            return None, f"Error: {str(e)}"

    # Set up event handler

    demo.launch()
```

## Deployment Workflow

1. **Authentication Check**: Verify Modal credentials via environment variables or `.modal.toml`
2. **App Analysis**: Parse Gradio app file to identify interface objects
3. **Image Configuration**: Select appropriate Docker image with dependencies based on deployment mode
4. **Code Generation**: Create Modal deployment wrapper with proper ASGI mounting
5. **File Creation**: Generate `modal_[appname].py` deployment file
6. **Modal Deploy**: Execute `modal deploy` command and capture deployment URL
7. **Success Report**: Display live application URL to user

## Best Practices

- Always use single container deployment for Gradio apps requiring session state
- Enable Gradio queuing for handling concurrent users
- Use `mount_gradio_app` for proper FastAPI integration
- Configure appropriate timeouts for long-running ML processes
- Include error handling for common deployment issues

## Future Enhancements

- Support for custom Docker images
- Advanced volume and secret management
- Multi-app deployment
- Health check monitoring
- Cost optimization features
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines

This implementation provides a complete, production-ready CLI tool that abstracts away all the complexity of deploying Gradio apps to Modal while following best practices for cloud deployment.
