__END__

=head1 NAME
Config::Model::AnyThing - Base class for configuration tree item
=head1 VERSION
version 2.082
=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 location_short()
Returns the node location in the configuration tree. This location truncates long
indexes to be readable. It cannot be used 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>.
=head2 composite_name_short
Return the element name with its index (if any). Too long indexes are
truncated to be readable.
=head1 Annotation
Annotation is a way to store miscellaneous information associated to
each node. (Yeah... comments). Reading and writing annotation makes
sense only if they can be read from and written to the configuration
file, hence the need for the following method:
=head2 backend_support_annotation
Returns 1 if at least one of the backends attached to a parent node
support to read and write annotations (aka comments) in the
configuration file.
=head2 support_annotation
Returns 1 if at least one of the backends support to read and write annotations
(aka comments) in the configuration file.
=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> or an array ref containing these
values. 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)
Examples:
$root->grep(step => 'foo:2 bar', type => 'leaf')
$root->grep(step => 'foo:2 bar', type => ['leaf','check_list'])
=item C<autoadd>
When set to 1, C<hash> or C<list> configuration element are created
when requested by the passed steps. (default is 1).
=item grab_non_available
When set to 1, grab will return an object even if this one is not
available. I.e. even if this element was warped out. (default is 0).
=back
The C<step> parameters is made of the following items separated by
spaces:
=over 8
=item -
Go up one node
=item !
Go to the root node.
=item !Foo
Go up the configuration tree until the C<Foo> configuration class is found. Raise an exception if
no C<Foo> class is found when root node is reached.
=item xxx
Go down using C<xxx> element.
=item xxx:yy
Go down using C<xxx> element and id C<yy> (valid for hash or list elements)
=item ?xxx
Go up the tree until a node containing element C<xxx> is found. Then go down
the tree like item C<xxx>.
If C<?xxx:yy>, go up the tree the same way. But no check is done to
see if id C<yy> actually exists or not. Only the element C<xxx> is
considered when going up the tree.
=back
=head2 grab_value(...)
Like L</grab(...)>, but will return the value of a leaf or check_list object, not
just the leaf object.
Will raise an exception if following the steps ends on anything but a
leaf or a check_list.
=head2 grab_annotation(...)
Like L</grab(...)>, but will return the annotation of an object.
=head2 grab_root()
Returns the root of the configuration tree.
=head2 grab_ancestor( Foo )
Go up the configuration tree until the C<Foo> configuration class is found. Returns
the found node or undef.
=head2 notify_change(...)
Notify the instance of semantic changes. Parameters are:
=over 8
=item old
old value. (optional)
=item new
new value (optional)
=item path
Location of the changed parameter starting from root node. Default to C<$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 note
information about the change. Mandatory of neither old or new value are defined.
=item really
When set to 1, force recording of change even if in initial load phase.
=item needs_save
internal parameter.
=back
=head2 show_message( string )
Forwarded to L<Config::Model::Instance/"show_message( string )">.
=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.
