=head1 NAME
Bugzilla::Object - A base class for objects in Bugzilla.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $object = new Bugzilla::Object(1);
my $object = new Bugzilla::Object({name => 'TestProduct'});
my $id = $object->id;
my $name = $object->name;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Bugzilla::Object is a base class for Bugzilla objects. You never actually
create a Bugzilla::Object directly, you only make subclasses of it.
Basically, Bugzilla::Object exists to allow developers to create objects
more easily. All you have to do is define C<DB_TABLE>, C<DB_COLUMNS>,
and sometimes C<LIST_ORDER> and you have a whole new object.
You should also define accessors for any columns other than C<name>
or C<id>.
=head1 CONSTANTS
Frequently, these will be the only things you have to define in your
subclass in order to have a fully-functioning object. C<DB_TABLE>
and C<DB_COLUMNS> are required.
=over
=item C<DB_TABLE>
The name of the table that these objects are stored in. For example,
for C<Bugzilla::Keyword> this would be C<keyworddefs>.
=item C<DB_COLUMNS>
The names of the columns that you want to read out of the database
and into this object. This should be an array.
=item C<NAME_FIELD>
The name of the column that should be considered to be the unique
"name" of this object. The 'name' is a B<string> that uniquely identifies
this Object in the database. Defaults to 'name'. When you specify
C<{name => $name}> to C<new()>, this is the column that will be
matched against in the DB.
=item C<ID_FIELD>
The name of the column that represents the unique B<integer> ID
of this object in the database. Defaults to 'id'.
=item C<LIST_ORDER>
The order that C<new_from_list> and C<get_all> should return objects
in. This should be the name of a database column. Defaults to
L</NAME_FIELD>.
=item C<REQUIRED_CREATE_FIELDS>
The list of fields that B<must> be specified when the user calls
C<create()>. This should be an array.
=item C<VALIDATORS>
A hashref that points to a function that will validate each param to
L</create>.
Validators are called both by L</create> and L</set>. When
they are called by L</create>, the first argument will be the name
of the class (what we normally call C<$class>).
When they are called by L</set>, the first argument will be
a reference to the current object (what we normally call C<$self>).
The second argument will be the value passed to L</create> or
L</set>for that field.
The third argument will be the name of the field being validated.
This may be required by validators which validate several distinct fields.
These functions should call L<Bugzilla::Error/ThrowUserError> if they fail.
The validator must return the validated value.
=item C<UPDATE_VALIDATORS>
This is just like L</VALIDATORS>, but these validators are called only
when updating an object, not when creating it. Any validator that appears
here must not appear in L</VALIDATORS>.
L<Bugzilla::Bug> has good examples in its code of when to use this.
=item C<UPDATE_COLUMNS>
A list of columns to update when L</update> is called.
If a field can't be changed, it shouldn't be listed here. (For example,
the L</ID_FIELD> usually can't be updated.)
=item C<NUMERIC_COLUMNS>
When L</update> is called, it compares each column in the object to its
current value in the database. It only updates columns that have changed.
Any column listed in NUMERIC_COLUMNS is treated as a number, not as a string,
during these comparisons.
=item C<DATE_COLUMNS>
This is much like L</NUMERIC_COLUMNS>, except that it treats strings as
dates when being compared. So, for example, C<2007-01-01> would be
equal to C<2007-01-01 00:00:00>.
=back
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Constructors
=over
=item C<new>
=over
=item B<Description>
The constructor is used to load an existing object from the database,
by id or by name.
=item B<Params>
If you pass an integer, the integer is the id of the object,
from the database, that we want to read in. (id is defined
as the value in the L</ID_FIELD> column).
If you pass in a hashref, you can pass a C<name> key. The
value of the C<name> key is the case-insensitive name of the object
(from L</NAME_FIELD>) in the DB. You can also pass in an C<id> key
which will be interpreted as the id of the object you want (overriding the
C<name> key).
B<Additional Parameters Available for Subclasses>
If you are a subclass of C<Bugzilla::Object>, you can pass
C<condition> and C<values> as hash keys, instead of the above.
C<condition> is a set of SQL conditions for the WHERE clause, which contain
placeholders.
C<values> is a reference to an array. The array contains the values
for each placeholder in C<condition>, in order.
This is to allow subclasses to have complex parameters, and then to
translate those parameters into C<condition> and C<values> when they
call C<$self->SUPER::new> (which is this function, usually).
If you try to call C<new> outside of a subclass with the C<condition>
and C<values> parameters, Bugzilla will throw an error. These parameters
are intended B<only> for use by subclasses.
=item B<Returns>
A fully-initialized object, or C<undef> if there is no object in the
database matching the parameters you passed in.
=back
=item C<check>
=over
=item B<Description>
Checks if there is an object in the database with the specified name, and
throws an error if you specified an empty name, or if there is no object
in the database with that name.
=item B<Params>
The parameters are the same as for L</new>, except that if you don't pass
a hashref, the single argument is the I<name> of the object, not the id.
=item B<Returns>
A fully initialized object, guaranteed.
=item B<Notes For Implementors>
If you implement this in your subclass, make sure that you also update
the C<object_name> block at the bottom of the F<global/user-error.html.tmpl>
template.
=back
=item C<new_from_list(\@id_list)>
Description: Creates an array of objects, given an array of ids.
Params: \@id_list - A reference to an array of numbers, database ids.
If any of these are not numeric, the function
will throw an error. If any of these are not
valid ids in the database, they will simply
be skipped.
Returns: A reference to an array of objects.
=item C<match>
=over
=item B<Description>
Gets a list of objects from the database based on certain criteria.
Basically, a simple way of doing a sort of "SELECT" statement (like SQL)
to get objects.
All criteria are joined by C<AND>, so adding more criteria will give you
a smaller set of results, not a larger set.
=item B<Params>
A hashref, where the keys are column names of the table, pointing to the
value that you want to match against for that column.
There are two special values, the constants C<NULL> and C<NOT_NULL>,
which means "give me objects where this field is NULL or NOT NULL,
respectively."
In addition to the column keys, there are a few special keys that
can be used to rig the underlying database queries. These are
C<LIMIT>, C<OFFSET>, and C<WHERE>.
The value for the C<LIMIT> key is expected to be an integer defining
the number of objects to return, while the value for C<OFFSET> defines
the position, relative to the number of objects the query would normally
return, at which to begin the result set. If C<OFFSET> is defined without
a corresponding C<LIMIT> it is silently ignored.
The C<WHERE> key provides a mechanism for adding arbitrary WHERE
clauses to the underlying query. Its value is expected to a hash
reference whose keys are the columns, operators and placeholders, and the
values are the placeholders' bind value. For example:
WHERE => { 'some_column >= ?' => $some_value }
would constrain the query to only those objects in the table whose
'some_column' column has a value greater than or equal to $some_value.
If you don't specify any criteria, calling this function is the same
as doing C<[$class-E<gt>get_all]>.
=item B<Returns>
An arrayref of objects, or an empty arrayref if there are no matches.
=back
=back
=head2 Database Manipulation
=over
=item C<create>
Description: Creates a new item in the database.
Throws a User Error if any of the passed-in params
are invalid.
Params: C<$params> - hashref - A value to put in each database
field for this object. Certain values must be set (the
ones specified in L</REQUIRED_CREATE_FIELDS>), and
the function will throw a Code Error if you don't set
them.
Returns: The Object just created in the database.
Notes: In order for this function to work in your subclass,
your subclass's L</ID_FIELD> must be of C<SERIAL>
type in the database. Your subclass also must
define L</REQUIRED_CREATE_FIELDS> and L</VALIDATORS>.
Subclass Implementors: This function basically just
calls L</check_required_create_fields>, then
L</run_create_validators>, and then finally
L</insert_create_data>. So if you have a complex system that
you need to implement, you can do it by calling these
three functions instead of C<SUPER::create>.
=item C<check_required_create_fields>
=over
=item B<Description>
Part of L</create>. Throws an error if any of the L</REQUIRED_CREATE_FIELDS>
have not been specified in C<$params>
=item B<Params>
=over
=item C<$params> - The same as C<$params> from L</create>.
=back
=item B<Returns> (nothing)
=back
=item C<run_create_validators>
Description: Runs the validation of input parameters for L</create>.
This subroutine exists so that it can be overridden
by subclasses who need to do special validations
of their input parameters. This method is B<only> called
by L</create>.
Params: The same as L</create>.
Returns: A hash, in a similar format as C<$params>, except that
these are the values to be inserted into the database,
not the values that were input to L</create>.
=item C<insert_create_data>
Part of L</create>.
Takes the return value from L</run_create_validators> and inserts the
data into the database. Returns a newly created object.
=item C<update>
=over
=item B<Description>
Saves the values currently in this object to the database.
Only the fields specified in L</UPDATE_COLUMNS> will be
updated, and they will only be updated if their values have changed.
=item B<Params> (none)
=item B<Returns>
B<In scalar context:>
A hashref showing what changed during the update. The keys are the column
names from L</UPDATE_COLUMNS>. If a field was not changed, it will not be
in the hash at all. If the field was changed, the key will point to an arrayref.
The first item of the arrayref will be the old value, and the second item
will be the new value.
If there were no changes, we return a reference to an empty hash.
B<In array context:>
Returns a list, where the first item is the above hashref. The second item
is the object as it was in the database before update() was called. (This
is mostly useful to subclasses of C<Bugzilla::Object> that are implementing
C<update>.)
=back
=item C<remove_from_db>
Removes this object from the database. Will throw an error if you can't
remove it for some reason. The object will then be destroyed, as it is
not safe to use the object after it has been removed from the database.
=back
=head2 Mutators
These are used for updating the values in objects, before calling
C<update>.
=over
=item C<set>
=over
=item B<Description>
Sets a certain hash member of this class to a certain value.
Used for updating fields. Calls the validator for this field,
if it exists. Subclasses should use this function
to implement the various C<set_> mutators for their different
fields.
If your class defines a method called C<_set_global_validator>,
C<set> will call it with C<($value, $field)> as arguments, after running
the validator for this particular field. C<_set_global_validator> does not
return anything.
See L</VALIDATORS> for more information.
B<NOTE>: This function is intended only for use by subclasses. If
you call it from anywhere else, it will throw a C<CodeError>.
=item B<Params>
=over
=item C<$field> - The name of the hash member to update. This should
be the same as the name of the field in L</VALIDATORS>, if it exists there.
=item C<$value> - The value that you're setting the field to.
=back
=item B<Returns> (nothing)
=back
=item C<set_all>
=over
=item B<Description>
This is a convenience function which is simpler than calling many different
C<set_> functions in a row. You pass a hashref of parameters and it calls
C<set_$key($value)> for every item in the hashref.
=item B<Params>
Takes a hashref of the fields that need to be set, pointing to the value
that should be passed to the C<set_> function that is called.
=item B<Returns> (nothing)
=back
=back
=head2 Simple Validators
You can use these in your subclass L</VALIDATORS> or L</UPDATE_VALIDATORS>.
Note that you have to reference them like C<\&Bugzilla::Object::check_boolean>,
you can't just write C<\&check_boolean>.
=over
=item C<check_boolean>
Returns C<1> if the passed-in value is true, C<0> otherwise.
=back
=head1 CLASS FUNCTIONS
=over
=item C<any_exist>
Returns C<1> if there are any of these objects in the database,
C<0> otherwise.
=item C<get_all>
Description: Returns all objects in this table from the database.
Params: none.
Returns: A list of objects, or an empty list if there are none.
Notes: Note that you must call this as C<$class->get_all>. For
example, C<Bugzilla::Keyword->get_all>.
C<Bugzilla::Keyword::get_all> will not work.
