# = PStore -- Transactional File Storage for Ruby Objects
#
# pstore.rb -
#   originally by matz
#   documentation by Kev Jackson and James Edward Gray II
#
# See PStore for documentation.


require "fileutils"
require "digest/md5"

#
# PStore implements a file based persistence mechanism based on a Hash.  User
# code can store hierarchies of Ruby objects (values) into the data store file
# by name (keys).  An object hierarchy may be just a single object.  User code 
# may later read values back from the data store or even update data, as needed.
# 
# The transactional behavior ensures that any changes succeed or fail together.
# This can be used to ensure that the data store is not left in a transitory
# state, where some values were updated but others were not.
# 
# Behind the scenes, Ruby objects are stored to the data store file with 
# Marshal.  That carries the usual limitations.  Proc objects cannot be 
# marshalled, for example.
#
# == Usage example:
# 
#  require "pstore"
#  
#  # a mock wiki object...
#  class WikiPage
#    def initialize( page_name, author, contents )
#      @page_name = page_name
#      @revisions = Array.new
#      
#      add_revision(author, contents)
#    end
#    
#    attr_reader :page_name
#    
#    def add_revision( author, contents )
#      @revisions << { :created  => Time.now,
#                      :author   => author,
#                      :contents => contents }
#    end
#    
#    def wiki_page_references
#      [@page_name] + @revisions.last[:contents].scan(/\b(?:[A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}/)
#    end
#    
#    # ...
#  end
#  
#  # create a new page...
#  home_page = WikiPage.new( "HomePage", "James Edward Gray II",
#                            "A page about the JoysOfDocumentation..." )
#  
#  # then we want to update page data and the index together, or not at all...
#  wiki = PStore.new("wiki_pages.pstore")
#  wiki.transaction do  # begin transaction; do all of this or none of it
#    # store page...
#    wiki[home_page.page_name] = home_page
#    # ensure that an index has been created...
#    wiki[:wiki_index] ||= Array.new
#    # update wiki index...
#    wiki[:wiki_index].push(*home_page.wiki_page_references)
#  end                   # commit changes to wiki data store file
#  
#  ### Some time later... ###
#  
#  # read wiki data...
#  wiki.transaction(true) do  # begin read-only transaction, no changes allowed
#    wiki.roots.each do |data_root_name|
#      p data_root_name
#      p wiki[data_root_name]
#    end
