"""A custom list that manages index/position information for contained
elements.

:author: Jason Kirtland

``orderinglist`` is a helper for mutable ordered relationships.  It will
intercept list operations performed on a :func:`.relationship`-managed
collection and
automatically synchronize changes in list position onto a target scalar
attribute.

Example: A ``slide`` table, where each row refers to zero or more entries
in a related ``bullet`` table.   The bullets within a slide are
displayed in order based on the value of the ``position`` column in the
``bullet`` table.   As entries are reordered in memory, the value of the
``position`` attribute should be updated to reflect the new sort order::


    Base = declarative_base()

    class Slide(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'slide'

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        name = Column(String)

        bullets = relationship("Bullet", order_by="Bullet.position")

    class Bullet(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'bullet'
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        slide_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('slide.id'))
        position = Column(Integer)
        text = Column(String)

The standard relationship mapping will produce a list-like attribute on each
``Slide`` containing all related ``Bullet`` objects,
but coping with changes in ordering is not handled automatically.
When appending a ``Bullet`` into ``Slide.bullets``, the ``Bullet.position``
attribute will remain unset until manually assigned.   When the ``Bullet``
is inserted into the middle of the list, the following ``Bullet`` objects
will also need to be renumbered.

The :class:`.OrderingList` object automates this task, managing the
``position`` attribute on all ``Bullet`` objects in the collection.  It is
constructed using the :func:`.ordering_list` factory::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.orderinglist import ordering_list

    Base = declarative_base()

    class Slide(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'slide'

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        name = Column(String)

        bullets = relationship("Bullet", order_by="Bullet.position",
                                collection_class=ordering_list('position'))

    class Bullet(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'bullet'
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        slide_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('slide.id'))
        position = Column(Integer)
        text = Column(String)

With the above mapping the ``Bullet.position`` attribute is managed::

    s = Slide()
    s.bullets.append(Bullet())
    s.bullets.append(Bullet())
    s.bullets[1].position
    >>> 1
    s.bullets.insert(1, Bullet())
    s.bullets[2].position
    >>> 2

The :class:`.OrderingList` construct only works with **changes** to a collection,
and not the initial load from the database, and requires that the list be
sorted when loaded.  Therefore, be sure to
specify ``order_by`` on the :func:`.relationship` against the target ordering
attribute, so that the ordering is correct when first loaded.

.. warning::

  :class:`.OrderingList` only provides limited functionality when a primary
  key column or unique column is the target of the sort.  Since changing the
  order of entries often means that two rows must trade values, this is not
  possible when the value is constrained by a primary key or unique
  constraint, since one of the rows would temporarily have to point to a
  third available value so that the other row could take its old
  value. :class:`.OrderingList` doesn't do any of this for you,
  nor does SQLAlchemy itself.

:func:`.ordering_list` takes the name of the related object's ordering attribute as
an argument.  By default, the zero-based integer index of the object's
position in the :func:`.ordering_list` is synchronized with the ordering attribute:
index 0 will get position 0, index 1 position 1, etc.  To start numbering at 1
or some other integer, provide ``count_from=1``.

        ``OrderingList`` is a ``collection_class`` list implementation that
        syncs position in a Python list with a position attribute on the
        mapped objects.

        This implementation relies on the list starting in the proper order,
        so be **sure** to put an ``order_by`` on your relationship.

        :param ordering_attr:
          Name of the attribute that stores the object's order in the
          relationship.

        :param ordering_func: Optional.  A function that maps the position in
          the Python list to a value to store in the
          ``ordering_attr``.  Values returned are usually (but need not be!)
          integers.

          An ``ordering_func`` is called with two positional parameters: the
          index of the element in the list, and the list itself.

          If omitted, Python list indexes are used for the attribute values.
          Two basic pre-built numbering functions are provided in this module:
          ``count_from_0`` and ``count_from_1``.  For more exotic examples
          like stepped numbering, alphabetical and Fibonacci numbering, see
          the unit tests.

        :param reorder_on_append:
          Default False.  When appending an object with an existing (non-None)
          ordering value, that value will be left untouched unless
          ``reorder_on_append`` is true.  This is an optimization to avoid a
          variety of dangerous unexpected database writes.

          SQLAlchemy will add instances to the list via append() when your
          object loads.  If for some reason the result set from the database
          skips a step in the ordering (say, row '1' is missing but you get
          '2', '3', and '4'), reorder_on_append=True would immediately
          renumber the items to '1', '2', '3'.  If you have multiple sessions
          making changes, any of whom happen to load this collection even in
          passing, all of the sessions would try to "clean up" the numbering
          in their commits, possibly causing all but one to fail with a
          concurrent modification error.

          Recommend leaving this with the default of False, and just call
          ``reorder()`` if you're doing ``append()`` operations with
          previously ordered instances or when doing some housekeeping after
          manual sql operations.
