# frozen_string_literal: true
require "active_support/core_ext/hash/indifferent_access"

module ActiveRecord
  # Store gives you a thin wrapper around serialize for the purpose of storing hashes in a single column.
  # It's like a simple key/value store baked into your record when you don't care about being able to
  # query that store outside the context of a single record.
  #
  # You can then declare accessors to this store that are then accessible just like any other attribute
  # of the model. This is very helpful for easily exposing store keys to a form or elsewhere that's
  # already built around just accessing attributes on the model.
  #
  # Make sure that you declare the database column used for the serialized store as a text, so there's
  # plenty of room.
  #
  # You can set custom coder to encode/decode your serialized attributes to/from different formats.
  # JSON, YAML, Marshal are supported out of the box. Generally it can be any wrapper that provides +load+ and +dump+.
  #
  # NOTE: If you are using PostgreSQL specific columns like +hstore+ or +json+ there is no need for
  # the serialization provided by {.store}[rdoc-ref:rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#store].
  # Simply use {.store_accessor}[rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#store_accessor] instead to generate
  # the accessor methods. Be aware that these columns use a string keyed hash and do not allow access
  # using a symbol.
  #
  # NOTE: The default validations with the exception of +uniqueness+ will work.
  # For example, if you want to check for +uniqueness+ with +hstore+ you will
  # need to use a custom validation to handle it.
  #
  # Examples:
  #
  #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  #     store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ], coder: JSON
  #   end
  #
  #   u = User.new(color: 'black', homepage: '37signals.com')
  #   u.color                          # Accessor stored attribute
  #   u.settings[:country] = 'Denmark' # Any attribute, even if not specified with an accessor
  #
  #   # There is no difference between strings and symbols for accessing custom attributes
  #   u.settings[:country]  # => 'Denmark'
  #   u.settings['country'] # => 'Denmark'
  #
  #   # Add additional accessors to an existing store through store_accessor
  #   class SuperUser < User
  #     store_accessor :settings, :privileges, :servants
  #   end
  #
  # The stored attribute names can be retrieved using {.stored_attributes}[rdoc-ref:rdoc-ref:ClassMethods#stored_attributes].
  #
  #   User.stored_attributes[:settings] # [:color, :homepage]
  #
  # == Overwriting default accessors
  #
  # All stored values are automatically available through accessors on the Active Record
  # object, but sometimes you want to specialize this behavior. This can be done by overwriting
  # the default accessors (using the same name as the attribute) and calling <tt>super</tt>
  # to actually change things.
  #
  #   class Song < ActiveRecord::Base
  #     # Uses a stored integer to hold the volume adjustment of the song
  #     store :settings, accessors: [:volume_adjustment]
  #
  #     def volume_adjustment=(decibels)
  #       super(decibels.to_i)
  #     end
  #
  #     def volume_adjustment
  #       super.to_i
  #     end
  #   end
