=head1 NAME

  DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn - helpful methods for messing
  with a single column of the resultset

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ artist => 'Tool' });
  $rs_column = $rs->get_column('year');
  $max_year = $rs_column->max; #returns latest year

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A convenience class used to perform operations on a specific column of
a resultset.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

  my $obj = DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn->new($rs, $column);

Creates a new resultset column object from the resultset and column
passed as params. Used internally by L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/get_column>.

=cut

sub new {
  my ($class, $rs, $column) = @_;
  $class = ref $class if ref $class;

  $rs->throw_exception("column must be supplied") unless $column;

  my $new_parent_rs = $rs->search_rs; # we don't want to mess up the original, so clone it

  # prefetch causes additional columns to be fetched, but we can not just make a new
  # rs via the _resolved_attrs trick - we need to retain the separation between
  # +select/+as and select/as
  for my $attr (qw/prefetch collapse/) {
    for (qw/attrs _attrs/) {
      delete $new_parent_rs->{$_}{$attr} if ref $new_parent_rs->{$_};
    }
  }

  # If $column can be found in the 'as' list of the parent resultset, use the
  # corresponding element of its 'select' list (to keep any custom column
  # definition set up with 'select' or '+select' attrs), otherwise use $column
  # (to create a new column definition on-the-fly).
  my $attrs = $new_parent_rs->_resolved_attrs;

  my $as_list = $attrs->{as} || [];
  my $select_list = $attrs->{select} || [];
  my $as_index = List::Util::first { ($as_list->[$_] || "") eq $column } 0..$#$as_list;
  my $select = defined $as_index ? $select_list->[$as_index] : $column;

  my $new = bless { _select => $select, _as => $column, _parent_resultset => $new_parent_rs }, $class;
  return $new;
}

=head2 as_query (EXPERIMENTAL)

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: \[ $sql, @bind ]

=back

Returns the SQL query and bind vars associated with the invocant.

This is generally used as the RHS for a subquery.

B<NOTE>: This feature is still experimental.

=cut

sub as_query { return shift->_resultset->as_query(@_) }

=head2 next

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $value

=back

Returns the next value of the column in the resultset (or C<undef> if
there is none).

Much like L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/next> but just returning the 
one value.

=cut

sub next {
  my $self = shift;
  my ($row) = $self->_resultset->cursor->next;
  return $row;
}

=head2 all

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: @values

=back

Returns all values of the column in the resultset (or C<undef> if
there are none).

Much like L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all> but returns values rather
than row objects.

=cut

sub all {
  my $self = shift;
  return map { $_->[0] } $self->_resultset->cursor->all;
}

=head2 reset

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $self

=back

Resets the underlying resultset's cursor, so you can iterate through the
elements of the column again.

Much like L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset>.

=cut

sub reset {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->_resultset->cursor->reset;
  return $self;
}

=head2 first

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $value

=back

Resets the underlying resultset and returns the next value of the column in the
resultset (or C<undef> if there is none).

Much like L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/first> but just returning the one value.

=cut

sub first {
  my $self = shift;
  my ($row) = $self->_resultset->cursor->reset->next;
  return $row;
}

=head2 min

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $lowest_value

=back

  my $first_year = $year_col->min();

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the lowest value of the column in the
resultset (or C<undef> if there are none).

=cut

sub min {
  return shift->func('MIN');
}

=head2 min_rs

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $resultset

=back

  my $rs = $year_col->min_rs();

Wrapper for ->func_rs for function MIN().

=cut

sub min_rs { return shift->func_rs('MIN') }

=head2 max

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $highest_value

=back

  my $last_year = $year_col->max();

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the highest value of the column in the
resultset (or C<undef> if there are none).

=cut

sub max {
  return shift->func('MAX');
}

=head2 max_rs

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $resultset

=back

  my $rs = $year_col->max_rs();

Wrapper for ->func_rs for function MAX().

=cut

sub max_rs { return shift->func_rs('MAX') }

=head2 sum

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $sum_of_values

=back

  my $total = $prices_col->sum();

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the sum of all the values in the column of
the resultset. Use on varchar-like columns at your own risk.

=cut

sub sum {
  return shift->func('SUM');
}

=head2 sum_rs

=over 4

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $resultset

=back

  my $rs = $year_col->sum_rs();

Wrapper for ->func_rs for function SUM().

=cut

sub sum_rs { return shift->func_rs('SUM') }

=head2 func

=over 4

=item Arguments: $function

=item Return Value: $function_return_value

=back

  $rs = $schema->resultset("CD")->search({});
  $length = $rs->get_column('title')->func('LENGTH');

Runs a query using the function on the column and returns the
value. Produces the following SQL:

  SELECT LENGTH( title ) FROM cd me

=cut

sub func {
  my ($self,$function) = @_;
  my $cursor = $self->func_rs($function)->cursor;
  
  if( wantarray ) {
    return map { $_->[ 0 ] } $cursor->all;
  }

  return ( $cursor->next )[ 0 ];
}

=head2 func_rs

=over 4

=item Arguments: $function

=item Return Value: $resultset

=back

Creates the resultset that C<func()> uses to run its query.

=cut

sub func_rs {
  my ($self,$function) = @_;
  return $self->{_parent_resultset}->search(
    undef, {
      select => {$function => $self->{_select}},
      as => [$self->{_as}],
    },
  );
}

=head2 throw_exception

See L<DBIx::Class::Schema/throw_exception> for details.
  
=cut 
    
sub throw_exception {
  my $self=shift;
  if (ref $self && $self->{_parent_resultset}) {
    $self->{_parent_resultset}->throw_exception(@_)
  } else {
    croak(@_);
  }
}

# _resultset
#
# Arguments: none
#
# Return Value: $resultset
#
#  $year_col->_resultset->next
#
# Returns the underlying resultset. Creates it from the parent resultset if
# necessary.
# 
sub _resultset {
  my $self = shift;

  return $self->{_resultset} ||= $self->{_parent_resultset}->search(undef,
    {

      as => [$self->{_as}]
    }
