=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::Ordered - Modify the position of objects in an ordered list.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Create a table for your ordered data.

  CREATE TABLE items (
    item_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    position INTEGER NOT NULL
  );

Optionally, add one or more columns to specify groupings, allowing you
to maintain independent ordered lists within one table:

  CREATE TABLE items (
    item_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    position INTEGER NOT NULL,
    group_id INTEGER NOT NULL
  );

Or even

  CREATE TABLE items (
    item_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    position INTEGER NOT NULL,
    group_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    other_group_id INTEGER NOT NULL
  );

In your Schema or DB class add "Ordered" to the top
of the component list.

  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( Ordered ... ));

Specify the column that stores the position number for
each row.

  package My::Item;
  __PACKAGE__->position_column('position');

If you are using one grouping column, specify it as follows:

  __PACKAGE__->grouping_column('group_id');

Or if you have multiple grouping columns:

  __PACKAGE__->grouping_column(['group_id', 'other_group_id']);

That's it, now you can change the position of your objects.

  #!/use/bin/perl
  use My::Item;

  my $item = My::Item->create({ name=>'Matt S. Trout' });
  # If using grouping_column:
  my $item = My::Item->create({ name=>'Matt S. Trout', group_id=>1 });

  my $rs = $item->siblings();
  my @siblings = $item->siblings();

  my $sibling;
  $sibling = $item->first_sibling();
  $sibling = $item->last_sibling();
  $sibling = $item->previous_sibling();
  $sibling = $item->next_sibling();

  $item->move_previous();
  $item->move_next();
  $item->move_first();
  $item->move_last();
  $item->move_to( $position );
  $item->move_to_group( 'groupname' );
  $item->move_to_group( 'groupname', $position );
  $item->move_to_group( {group_id=>'groupname', 'other_group_id=>'othergroupname'} );
  $item->move_to_group( {group_id=>'groupname', 'other_group_id=>'othergroupname'}, $position );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple interface for modifying the ordered
position of DBIx::Class objects.

=head1 AUTO UPDATE

All of the move_* methods automatically update the rows involved in
the query.  This is not configurable and is due to the fact that if you
move a record it always causes other records in the list to be updated.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 position_column

  __PACKAGE__->position_column('position');

Sets and retrieves the name of the column that stores the
positional value of each record.  Defaults to "position".

=cut

__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( 'position_column' => 'position' );

=head2 grouping_column

  __PACKAGE__->grouping_column('group_id');

This method specifies a column to limit all queries in
this module by.  This effectively allows you to have multiple
ordered lists within the same table.

=cut

__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( 'grouping_column' );

=head2 null_position_value

  __PACKAGE__->null_position_value(undef);

This method specifies a value of L</position_column> which B<would
never be assigned to a row> during normal operation. When
a row is moved, its position is set to this value temporarily, so
that any unique constraints can not be violated. This value defaults
to 0, which should work for all cases except when your positions do
indeed start from 0.

=cut

__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( 'null_position_value' => 0 );

=head2 siblings

  my $rs = $item->siblings();
  my @siblings = $item->siblings();

Returns an B<ordered> resultset of all other objects in the same
group excluding the one you called it on.

The ordering is a backwards-compatibility artifact - if you need
a resultset with no ordering applied use C<_siblings>

=cut
sub siblings {
    my $self = shift;
    return $self->_siblings->search ({}, { order_by => $self->position_column } );
}

=head2 previous_siblings

  my $prev_rs = $item->previous_siblings();
  my @prev_siblings = $item->previous_siblings();

Returns a resultset of all objects in the same group
positioned before the object on which this method was called.

=cut
sub previous_siblings {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;
    my $position = $self->get_column ($position_column);
    return ( defined $position
        ? $self->_siblings->search ({ $position_column => { '<', $position } })
        : $self->_siblings
    );
}

=head2 next_siblings

  my $next_rs = $item->next_siblings();
  my @next_siblings = $item->next_siblings();

Returns a resultset of all objects in the same group
positioned after the object on which this method was called.

=cut
sub next_siblings {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;
    my $position = $self->get_column ($position_column);
    return ( defined $position
        ? $self->_siblings->search ({ $position_column => { '>', $position } })
        : $self->_siblings
    );
}

=head2 previous_sibling

  my $sibling = $item->previous_sibling();

Returns the sibling that resides one position back.  Returns 0
if the current object is the first one.

=cut

sub previous_sibling {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;

    my $psib = $self->previous_siblings->search(
        {},
        { rows => 1, order_by => { '-desc' => $position_column } },
    )->single;

    return defined $psib ? $psib : 0;
}

=head2 first_sibling

  my $sibling = $item->first_sibling();

Returns the first sibling object, or 0 if the first sibling
is this sibling.

=cut

sub first_sibling {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;

    my $fsib = $self->previous_siblings->search(
        {},
        { rows => 1, order_by => { '-asc' => $position_column } },
    )->single;

    return defined $fsib ? $fsib : 0;
}

=head2 next_sibling

  my $sibling = $item->next_sibling();

Returns the sibling that resides one position forward. Returns 0
if the current object is the last one.

=cut

sub next_sibling {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;
    my $nsib = $self->next_siblings->search(
        {},
        { rows => 1, order_by => { '-asc' => $position_column } },
    )->single;

    return defined $nsib ? $nsib : 0;
}

=head2 last_sibling

  my $sibling = $item->last_sibling();

Returns the last sibling, or 0 if the last sibling is this
sibling.

=cut

sub last_sibling {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;
    my $lsib = $self->next_siblings->search(
        {},
        { rows => 1, order_by => { '-desc' => $position_column } },
    )->single;

    return defined $lsib ? $lsib : 0;
}

# an optimized method to get the last sibling position value without inflating a result object
sub _last_sibling_posval {
    my $self = shift;
    my $position_column = $self->position_column;

    )->cursor;

    my ($pos) = $cursor->next;
    return $pos;
}

=head2 move_previous

  $item->move_previous();

Swaps position with the sibling in the position previous in
the list.  Returns 1 on success, and 0 if the object is
already the first one.

=cut

sub move_previous {
    my $self = shift;
    return $self->move_to ($self->_position - 1);
}

=head2 move_next

  $item->move_next();

Swaps position with the sibling in the next position in the
list.  Returns 1 on success, and 0 if the object is already
the last in the list.

=cut

sub move_next {
    my $self = shift;
    return 0 unless defined $self->_last_sibling_posval;  # quick way to check for no more siblings
    return $self->move_to ($self->_position + 1);

=head2 move_first

  $item->move_first();

Moves the object to the first position in the list.  Returns 1
on success, and 0 if the object is already the first.

=cut

sub move_first {
    return shift->move_to( 1 );

=head2 move_last

  $item->move_last();

Moves the object to the last position in the list.  Returns 1
on success, and 0 if the object is already the last one.

=cut

sub move_last {
    my $self = shift;
    my $last_posval = $self->_last_sibling_posval;

=head2 move_to

  $item->move_to( $position );

Moves the object to the specified position.  Returns 1 on
success, and 0 if the object is already at the specified
position.

=head2 move_to_group

  $item->move_to_group( $group, $position );

Moves the object to the specified position of the specified
group, or to the end of the group if $position is undef.
1 is returned on success, and 0 is returned if the object is
already at the specified position of the specified group.

$group may be specified as a single scalar if only one
grouping column is in use, or as a hashref of column => value pairs
if multiple grouping columns are in use.

=head2 insert

Overrides the DBIC insert() method by providing a default
position number.  The default will be the number of rows in
the table +1, thus positioning the new record at the last position.

}

=head2 update

Overrides the DBIC update() method by checking for a change
to the position and/or group columns.  Movement within a
group or to another group is handled by repositioning
the appropriate siblings.  Position defaults to the end
of a new group if it has been changed to undef.

  }
  else {

  }

  return $self;

=head2 delete

Overrides the DBIC delete() method by first moving the object
to the last position, then deleting it, thus ensuring the
integrity of the positions.

=cut

      ||
    grep { $_ eq $col } ($self->position_column, $self->_grouping_columns)
  );
}

=head1 METHODS FOR EXTENDING ORDERED

You would want to override the methods below if you use sparse
(non-linear) or non-numeric position values. This can be useful
if you are working with preexisting non-normalised position data,
or if you need to work with materialized path columns.

=head2 _position_from_value

  my $num_pos = $item->_position_from_value ( $pos_value )

Returns the B<absolute numeric position> of an object with a B<position
value> set to C<$pos_value>. By default simply returns C<$pos_value>.

=cut
sub _position_from_value {
    my ($self, $val) = @_;

    return 0 unless defined $val;

#    #the right way to do this
#    return $self -> _group_rs
#                 -> search({ $self->position_column => { '<=', $val } })
#                 -> count

    return $val;
}

=head2 _position_value

  my $pos_value = $item->_position_value ( $pos )

Returns the B<value> of L</position_column> of the object at numeric
position C<$pos>. By default simply returns C<$pos>.

=cut
sub _position_value {
    my ($self, $pos) = @_;

#    #the right way to do this (not optimized)
#    my $position_column = $self->position_column;
#    return $self -> _group_rs
#                 -> search({}, { order_by => $position_column })
#                 -> slice ( $pos - 1)
#                 -> single
#                 -> get_column ($position_column);

    return $pos;
}

=head2 _initial_position_value

  __PACKAGE__->_initial_position_value(0);

This method specifies a B<value> of L</position_column> which is assigned
to the first inserted element of a group, if no value was supplied at
insertion time. All subsequent values are derived from this one by
L</_next_position_value> below. Defaults to 1.

=cut

__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( '_initial_position_value' => 1 );

=head2 _next_position_value

  my $new_value = $item->_next_position_value ( $position_value )

Returns a position B<value> that would be considered C<next> with
regards to C<$position_value>. Can be pretty much anything, given
that C<< $position_value < $new_value >> where C<< < >> is the
SQL comparison operator (usually works fine on strings). The
default method expects C<$position_value> to be numeric, and
returns C<$position_value + 1>

=cut
sub _next_position_value {
    return $_[1] + 1;
}

=head2 _shift_siblings

  $item->_shift_siblings ($direction, @between)

Shifts all siblings with B<positions values> in the range @between
(inclusive) by one position as specified by $direction (left if < 0,
 right if > 0). By default simply increments/decrements each
L</position_column> value by 1, doing so in a way as to not violate
any existing constraints.

Note that if you override this method and have unique constraints
including the L</position_column> the shift is not a trivial task.
Refer to the implementation source of the default method for more
information.

=head1 CAVEATS

=head2 Resultset Methods

Note that all Insert/Create/Delete overrides are happening on
L<DBIx::Class::Row> methods only. If you use the
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> versions of
L<update|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/update> or
L<delete|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/delete>, all logic present in this
module will be bypassed entirely (possibly resulting in a broken
order-tree). Instead always use the
L<update_all|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/update_all> and
L<delete_all|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/delete_all> methods, which will
invoke the corresponding L<row|DBIx::Class::Row> method on every
member of the given resultset.

=head2 Race Condition on Insert

If a position is not specified for an insert, a position
will be chosen based either on L</_initial_position_value> or
L</_next_position_value>, depending if there are already some
items in the current group. The space of time between the
necessary selects and insert introduces a race condition.
Having unique constraints on your position/group columns,
and using transactions (see L<DBIx::Class::Storage/txn_do>)
will prevent such race conditions going undetected.

=head2 Multiple Moves

If you have multiple same-group result objects already loaded from storage,
you need to be careful when executing C<move_*> operations on them:
without a L</position_column> reload the L</_position_value> of the
"siblings" will be out of sync with the underlying storage.

Starting from version C<0.082800> DBIC will implicitly perform such
reloads when the C<move_*> happens as a part of a transaction
(a good example of such situation is C<< $ordered_resultset->delete_all >>).

If it is not possible for you to wrap the entire call-chain in a transaction,
you will need to call L<DBIx::Class::Row/discard_changes> to get an object
up-to-date before proceeding, otherwise undefined behavior will result.

=head2 Default Values

Using a database defined default_value on one of your group columns
could result in the position not being assigned correctly.
