# ABSTRACT: Base class for configuration tree item

__END__

=pod

=encoding UTF-8

=head1 NAME

Config::Model::AnyThing - Base class for configuration tree item

=head1 VERSION

version 2.061

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # internal class

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class must be inherited by all nodes or leaves of the
configuration tree.

AnyThing provides some methods and no constructor.

=head1 Introspection methods

=head2 element_name()

Returns the element name that contain this object.

=head2 index_value()

For object stored in an array or hash element, returns the index (or key)
containing this object.

=head2 parent()

Returns the node containing this object. May return undef if C<parent()> 
is called on the root of the tree.

=head2 container_type()

Returns the type (e.g. C<list> or C<hash> or C<leaf> or C<node> or
C<warped_node>) of the element containing this object. 

=head2 root()

Returns the root node of the configuration tree.

=head2 location()

Returns the node location in the configuration tree. This location
conforms with the syntax defined by L</grab()> method.

=head2 composite_name

Return the element name with its index (if any). I.e. returns C<foo:bar> or
C<foo>.

=head1 Annotation

Annotation is a way to store miscellaneous information associated to
each node. (Yeah... comments) These comments will be saved outside of
the configuration file and restored the next time the command is run.

=head2 annotation( [ note1, [ note2 , ... ] ] )

Without argument, return a string containing the object's annotation (or 
an empty string).

With several arguments, join the arguments with "\n", store the annotations 
and return the resulting string.

=head2 load_pod_annotation ( pod_string )

Load annotations in configuration tree from a pod document. The pod must
be in the form:

 =over
 
 =item path
 
 Annotation text
 
 =back

=head2 clear_annotation

Clear the annotation of an element

=head1 Information management

=head2 grab(...)

Grab an object from the configuration tree.

Parameters are:

=over

=item C<step>

A string indicating the steps to follow in the tree to find the
required item. (mandatory)

=item C<mode>

When set to C<strict>, C<grab> will throw an exception if no object is found
using the passed string. When set to C<adaptative>, the object found at last will
be returned. For instance, for the step C<good_step wrong_step>, only
the object held by C<good_step> will be returned. When set to C<loose>, grab 
will return undef in case of problem. (default is C<strict>)

=item C<type>

Either C<node>, C<leaf>, C<hash> or C<list>. Returns only an object of
requested type. Depending on C<strict> value, C<grab> will either
throw an exception or return the last found object of requested type.
(optional, default to C<undef>, which means any type of object)

=item C<autoadd>

When set to 1, C<hash> or C<list> configuration element are created
when requested by the passed steps. (default is 1). 

=item grab_non_available

When set to 1, grab will return an object even if this one is not
available. I.e. even if this element was warped out. (default is 0).

=back

The C<step> parameters is made of the following items separated by
spaces:

=over 8

=item -

Go up one node

=item !

Go to the root node.

=item !Foo

Go up the configuration tree until the C<Foo> configuration class is found. Raise an exception if 
no C<Foo> class is found when root node is reached.

=item xxx

Go down using C<xxx> element.

=item xxx:yy

Go down using C<xxx> element and id C<yy> (valid for hash or list elements)

=item ?xxx

Go up the tree until a node containing element C<xxx> is found. Then go down
the tree like item C<xxx>.

If C<?xxx:yy>, go up the tree the same way. But no check is done to
see if id C<yy> actually exists or not. Only the element C<xxx> is 
considered when going up the tree.

=back

=head2 grab_value(...)

Like L</grab(...)>, but will return the value of a leaf or check_list object, not
just the leaf object.

Will raise an exception if following the steps ends on anything but a
leaf or a check_list.

=head2 grab_annotation(...)

Like L</grab(...)>, but will return the annotation of an object.

=head2 grab_root()

Returns the root of the configuration tree.

=head2 grab_ancestor( Foo )

Go up the configuration tree until the C<Foo> configuration class is found. Returns 
the found node or undef.

=head2 notify_change(...)

Notify the instance of semantic changes. Parameters are:

=over 8

=item old

old value.

=item new

new value

=item path

Location of the changed parameter starting from root node. Default to C<$self->location>.

=item name

element name. Default to C<$self->element_name>

=item index

If the changed parameter is part of a hash or an array, C<index>
contains the key or the index to get the changed parameter.

=item msg

change message. When not empty, old and new values are not shown.

=item note

note displayed along the changed values (or message)

=item really

When set to 1, force recording of change even if in initial load phase.

=item needs_save

internal parameter.

=back

=head2 model_searcher ()

Returns an object dedicated to search an element in the configuration
model (respecting privilege level).

This method returns a L<Config::Model::SearchElement> object. See
L<Config::Model::Searcher> for details on how to handle a search.

=head2 dump_as_data ( )

Dumps the configuration data of the node and its siblings into a perl
data structure. 

Returns a hash ref containing the data. See
L<Config::Model::DumpAsData> for details.

=head2 warp_error

Returns a string describing any issue with L<Config::Model::Warper> object. 
Returns '' if invoked on a tree object without warp specification.
