+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Tree::AdjacencyList - Manage a tree of data using the common adjacency list model. (EXPERIMENTAL)
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Create a table for your tree data.
+
+ CREATE TABLE employees (
+ employee_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+ parent_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
+ name TEXT NOT NULL
+ );
+
+In your Schema or DB class add Tree::AdjacencyList to the top
+of the component list.
+
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( Tree::AdjacencyList ... ));
+ # If you want positionable data make sure this
+ # module comes first, as in:
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( Tree::AdjacencyList Positional ... ));
+
+Specify the column that contains the parent ID each row.
+
+ package My::Employee;
+ __PACKAGE__->parent_column('parent_id');
+
+Thats it, now you can modify and analyze the tree.

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides methods for working with adjacency lists. The
+adjacency list model is a very common way of representing a tree structure.
+In this model each row in a table has a prent ID column that references the
+primary key of another row in the same table. Because of this the primary
+key must only be one column and is usually some sort of integer. The row
+with a parent ID of 0 is the root row and is usually the parent of all
+other rows.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 parent_column
+
+ __PACKAGE__->parent_column('parent_id');
+
+Declares the name of the column that contains the self-referential
+ID which defines the parent row. Defaults to "parent_id".
+
+If you are useing the L<DBIx::Class::Positional> component then this
+parent_column will automatically be used as the collection_column.
+

+__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( 'parent_column' => 'parent_id' );
+
+=head2 parent
+
+ my $parent = $employee->parent();
+ $employee->parent( $parent_obj );
+ $employee->parent( $parent_id );
+
+Retrieves the object's parent ID, or sets the object's
+parent ID. If setting the parent ID then 0 will be returned
+if the object already has the specified parent, and 1 on
+success.
+
+If you are using the L<DBIx::Class::Positional> component this
+module will first move the object to the last position of
+the list, change the parent ID, then move the object to the
+last position of the new list. This ensures the intergrity
+of the positions.

+
+=head2 children
+
+ my $children_rs = $employee->children();
+ my @children = $employee->children();
+
+Returns a list or record set, depending on context, of all
+the objects one level below the current one.
+
+If you are using the L<DBIx::Class::Positional> component then this method
+will return the children sorted by the position column.

+
+=head2 attach_child
+
+ $parent->attach_child( $child );
+
+Sets (or moves) the child to the new parent.

+=head2 attach_sibling
+

+Sets the passed in object to have the same parent
+as the calling object.

+=head1 POSITIONAL METHODS
+
+If you are useing the L<DBIx::Class::Postional> component
+in conjunction with this module then you will also have
+these methods available to you.
+
+=head2 append_child
+
+ $parent->append_child( $child );
+
+Sets the child to have the specified parent and moves the
+child to the last position.
+
+=cut
+
+sub append_child {
+ my( $self, $child ) = @_;
+ croak('This method may only be used with the Positional component') if (!$self->positional());
+ $child->parent( $self );
+}
+
+=head2 prepend_child
+
+ $parent->prepend_child( $child );
+
+Sets the child to have the specified parent and moves the
+child to the first position.
+
+=cut
+
+sub prepend_child {
+ my( $self, $child ) = @_;
+ croak('This method may only be used with the Positional component') if (!$self->positional());
+ $child->parent( $self );
+ $child->move_first();
+}
+
+=head2 attach_before
+
+ $this->attach_before( $that );
+
+Attaches the object at the position just before the
+calling object's position.
+
+=cut
+
+sub attach_before {
+ my( $self, $sibling ) = @_;
+ croak('This method may only be used with the Positional component') if (!$self->positional());
+ $sibling->parent( $self->parent() );
+ $sibling->move_to( $self->get_column($self->position_column()) );
+}
+
+=head2 attach_after
+
+ $this->attach_after( $that );
+
+Attaches the object at the position just after the
+calling object's position.
+
+=cut
+
+sub attach_after {
+ my( $self, $sibling ) = @_;
+ croak('This method may only be used with the Positional component') if (!$self->positional());
+ $sibling->parent( $self->parent() );
+ $sibling->move_to( $self->get_column($self->position_column()) + 1 );
+}
+
+=head2 positional
+
+ if ($object->positional()) { ... }
+
+Returns true if the object is a DBIx::Class::Positional
+object.
+
+=cut
+
+sub positional {
+ my( $self ) = @_;
+ return $self->isa('DBIx::Class::Positional');
+}
+
+=head1 PRIVATE METHODS
+
+These methods are used internally. You should never have the
+need to use them.
+
+=head2 _collection_clause
+
+This method is provided as an override of the method in
+L<DBIx::Class::Positional>. This way Positional and Tree::AdjacencyList
+may be used together without conflict. Make sure that in
+your component list that you load Tree::AdjacencyList before you
+load Positional.
