"""Define attributes on ORM-mapped classes that have "index" attributes for
columns with :class:`_types.Indexable` types.

"index" means the attribute is associated with an element of an
:class:`_types.Indexable` column with the predefined index to access it.
The :class:`_types.Indexable` types include types such as
:class:`_types.ARRAY`, :class:`_types.JSON` and
:class:`_postgresql.HSTORE`.

The :mod:`~sqlalchemy.ext.indexable` extension provides
:class:`_schema.Column`-like interface for any element of an
:class:`_types.Indexable` typed column. In simple cases, it can be
treated as a :class:`_schema.Column` - mapped attribute.

.. versionadded:: 1.1

Synopsis
========

Given ``Person`` as a model with a primary key and JSON data field.
While this field may have any number of elements encoded within it,
we would like to refer to the element called ``name`` individually
as a dedicated attribute which behaves like a standalone column::

from sqlalchemy import Column, JSON, Integer
    from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
    from sqlalchemy.ext.indexable import index_property

Base = declarative_base()

class Person(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'person'

id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        data = Column(JSON)

name = index_property('data', 'name')

Above, the ``name`` attribute now behaves like a mapped column.   We
can compose a new ``Person`` and set the value of ``name``::

>>> person = Person(name='Alchemist')

The value is now accessible::

>>> person.name
    'Alchemist'

Behind the scenes, the JSON field was initialized to a new blank dictionary
and the field was set::

>>> person.data
    {"name": "Alchemist'}

The field is mutable in place::

>>> person.name = 'Renamed'
    >>> person.name
    'Renamed'
    >>> person.data
    {'name': 'Renamed'}

When using :class:`.index_property`, the change that we make to the indexable
structure is also automatically tracked as history; we no longer need
to use :class:`~.mutable.MutableDict` in order to track this change
for the unit of work.

Deletions work normally as well::

>>> del person.name
    >>> person.data
    {}

Above, deletion of ``person.name`` deletes the value from the dictionary,
but not the dictionary itself.

A missing key will produce ``AttributeError``::

>>> person = Person()
    >>> person.name
    ...
    AttributeError: 'name'

Unless you set a default value::

>>> class Person(Base):
    >>>     __tablename__ = 'person'
    >>>
    >>>     id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    >>>     data = Column(JSON)
    >>>
    >>>     name = index_property('data', 'name', default=None)  # See default

>>> person = Person()
    >>> print(person.name)
    None

The attributes are also accessible at the class level.
Below, we illustrate ``Person.name`` used to generate
an indexed SQL criteria::

>>> from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
    >>> session = Session()
    >>> query = session.query(Person).filter(Person.name == 'Alchemist')

The above query is equivalent to::

>>> query = session.query(Person).filter(Person.data['name'] == 'Alchemist')

Multiple :class:`.index_property` objects can be chained to produce
multiple levels of indexing::

from sqlalchemy import Column, JSON, Integer
    from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
    from sqlalchemy.ext.indexable import index_property

Base = declarative_base()

class Person(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'person'

id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        data = Column(JSON)

birthday = index_property('data', 'birthday')
        year = index_property('birthday', 'year')
        month = index_property('birthday', 'month')
        day = index_property('birthday', 'day')

Above, a query such as::

q = session.query(Person).filter(Person.year == '1980')

On a PostgreSQL backend, the above query will render as::

SELECT person.id, person.data
    FROM person
    WHERE person.data -> %(data_1)s -> %(param_1)s = %(param_2)s

Default Values
==============

:class:`.index_property` includes special behaviors for when the indexed
data structure does not exist, and a set operation is called:

* For an :class:`.index_property` that is given an integer index value,
  the default data structure will be a Python list of ``None`` values,
  at least as long as the index value; the value is then set at its
  place in the list.  This means for an index value of zero, the list
  will be initialized to ``[None]`` before setting the given value,
  and for an index value of five, the list will be initialized to
  ``[None, None, None, None, None]`` before setting the fifth element
  to the given value.   Note that an existing list is **not** extended
  in place to receive a value.

* for an :class:`.index_property` that is given any other kind of index
  value (e.g. strings usually), a Python dictionary is used as the
  default data structure.

* The default data structure can be set to any Python callable using the
  :paramref:`.index_property.datatype` parameter, overriding the previous
  rules.

Subclassing
===========

:class:`.index_property` can be subclassed, in particular for the common
use case of providing coercion of values or SQL expressions as they are
accessed.  Below is a common recipe for use with a PostgreSQL JSON type,
where we want to also include automatic casting plus ``astext()``::

class pg_json_property(index_property):
        def __init__(self, attr_name, index, cast_type):
            super(pg_json_property, self).__init__(attr_name, index)
            self.cast_type = cast_type

def expr(self, model):
            expr = super(pg_json_property, self).expr(model)
            return expr.astext.cast(self.cast_type)

The above subclass can be used with the PostgreSQL-specific
version of :class:`_postgresql.JSON`::

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer
    from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
    from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import JSON

Base = declarative_base()

class Person(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'person'

id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        data = Column(JSON)

age = pg_json_property('data', 'age', Integer)

The ``age`` attribute at the instance level works as before; however
when rendering SQL, PostgreSQL's ``->>`` operator will be used
for indexed access, instead of the usual index operator of ``->``::

>>> query = session.query(Person).filter(Person.age < 20)

The above query will render::

SELECT person.id, person.data
    FROM person
    WHERE CAST(person.data ->> %(data_1)s AS INTEGER) < %(param_1)s
