=head1 NAME

Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList - Extract a taxonomy from a hierarchy inside a CSV file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList;

    $source = "./t/data/alpha.csv";
    $self = Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList->new( {
        file    => $source,
    } );

=head1 METHODS

=head2 C

=over 4

=item * Purpose

Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList constructor.

=item * Arguments

Single hash reference.  There are two possible interfaces: C and C.

=over 4

=item 1 C interface

    $source = "./t/data/delta.csv";
    $self = Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList->new( {
        file    => $source,
    } );

Elements in the hash reference are keyed on:

=over 4

=item * C

Absolute or relative path to the incoming taxonomy file.
B for this interface.

=item * C

The name of the column in the header row under which each data record's unique
ID can be found.  Defaults to C.

=item * C

The name of the column in the header row under which each data record's parent
ID can be found.  (Will be empty in the case of top-level nodes, as they have
no parent.)  Defaults to C.

=item * C

The name of the column in the header row under which, in each data record, there
is a found a string which differentiates that record from all other records
with the same parent ID.  Defaults to C.

=item * Text::CSV_XS options

Any other options which could normally be passed to Cnew()> will
be passed through to that module's constructor.  On the recommendation of the
Text::CSV documentation, C is always set to a true value.

=back

=item 2 C interface

    $self = Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList->new( {
        components  => {
            fields          => $fields,
            data_records    => $data_records,
        }
    } );

Elements in this hash are keyed on:

=over 4

=item * C

This element is B for the C interface. The value of this
element is a hash reference with two keys, C and C.
C is a reference to an array holding the field or column names for the
data set.  C is a reference to an array of array references,
each of the latter arrayrefs holding one record or row from the data set.

=back

=back

=item * Return Value

Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList object.

=item * Exceptions

C will throw an exception under any of the following conditions:

=over 4

=item * Argument to C is not a reference.

=item * Argument to C is not a hash reference.

=item * Argument to C must have either 'file' or 'components' element but not both.

=item * Lack columns in header row to match requirements.

=item * Non-numeric entry in C or C column.

=item * Duplicate entries in C column.

=item * Number of fields in a data record does not match number in header row.

=item * Empty string in a C column of a record.

=item * Unable to locate a record whose C is the C of a different record.

=item * No records with same C may share value of C column.

=item * C interface

=over 4

=item * In the C interface, unable to locate the file which is the value of the C element.

=item * The same field is found more than once in the header row of the
incoming taxonomy file.

=item * Unable to open or close the incoming taxonomy file for reading.

=back

=item * C interface

=over 4

=item * In the C interface, C element must be a hash reference with C and C elements.

=item * C element must be array reference.

=item * C element must be reference to array of array references.

=item * No duplicate fields in C element's array reference.

=item * Purpose

Identify the names of the columns in the taxonomy.

=item * Arguments

    my $fields = $self->fields();

No arguments; the information is already inside the object.

=item * Return Value

Reference to an array holding a list of the columns as they appear in the
header row of the incoming taxonomy file.

=item * Comment

Read-only.

=back

=head2 C

=over 4

=item * Purpose

Once the taxonomy has been validated, get a list of its data rows as a Perl
data structure.

=item * Arguments

    $data_records = $self->data_records;

None.

=item * Return Value

Reference to array of array references.  The array will hold the data records
found in the incoming taxonomy file in their order in that file.

=item * Comment

Does not contain any information about the fields in the taxonomy, so you
should probably either (a) use in conjunction with C method above;
or (b) use C.

=cut

=head2 C

=over 4

=item * Purpose

Identify the index position of a given field within the header row.

=item * Arguments

    $index = $self->get_field_position('income');

Takes a single string holding the name of one of the fields (column names).

=item * Return Value

Integer representing the index position (counting from C<0>) of the field
provided as argument.  Throws exception if the argument is not actually a
field.

The following methods provide information about key columns in a
Parse::Taxonomy::MaterializedPath object.  The key columns are those which hold the
ID, parent ID and component information.  They take no arguments.  The methods
whose names end in C<_idx> return integers, as they return the index position
of the column in the header row.  The other methods return strings.

    $index_of_id_column = $self->id_col_idx;

    $name_of_id_column = $self->id_col;

    $index_of_parent_id_column = $self->parent_id_col_idx;

=head2 C

=over 4

=item * Purpose

Generate a new Perl data structure which holds the same information as a
Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList object but which expresses the route from the
root node to a given branch or leaf node as either a separator-delimited
string (as in the C column of a Parse::Taxonomy::MaterializedPath object) or
as an array reference holding the list of names which delineate that route.

Another way of expressing this:  Transform a taxonomy-by-adjacent-list to a
taxonomy-by-materialized-path.

Example:  Suppose we have a CSV file which serves as a taxonomy-by-adjacent-list for
this data:

    "id","parent_id","name","is_actionable"
    "1","","Alpha","0"
    "2","","Beta","0"
    "3","1","Epsilon","0"
    "4","3","Kappa","1"
    "5","1","Zeta","0"
    "6","5","Lambda","1"
    "7","5","Mu","0"
    "8","2","Eta","1"
    "9","2","Theta","1"

Instead of having the route from the root node to a given node be represented
B by following Cs up the tree, suppose we want that
route to be represented by a string.  Assuming that we work with default
column names, that would mean representing the information currently spread
out among the C, C and C columns in a single C
column which, by default, would hold an array reference.

    $source = "./t/data/theta.csv";
    $self = Parse::Taxonomy::AdjacentList->new( {
        file    => $source,
    } );

    $taxonomy_with_path_as_array = $self->pathify;

Yielding:

    [
      ["path", "is_actionable"],
      [["", "Alpha"], 0],
      [["", "Beta"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Epsilon"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Epsilon", "Kappa"], 1],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta", "Lambda"], 1],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta", "Mu"], 0],
      [["", "Beta", "Eta"], 1],
      [["", "Beta", "Theta"], 1],
    ]

If we wanted the path information represented as a string rather than an array
reference, we would say:

    $taxonomy_with_path_as_string = $self->pathify( { as_string => 1 } );

Yielding:

    [
      ["path", "is_actionable"],
      ["|Alpha", 0],
      ["|Beta", 0],
      ["|Alpha|Epsilon", 0],
      ["|Alpha|Epsilon|Kappa", 1],
      ["|Alpha|Zeta", 0],
      ["|Alpha|Zeta|Lambda", 1],
      ["|Alpha|Zeta|Mu", 0],
      ["|Beta|Eta", 1],
      ["|Beta|Theta", 1],
    ]

If we are providing a true value to the C key, we also get to
choose what character to use as the separator in the C column.

    $taxonomy_with_path_as_string_different_path_col_sep =
        $self->pathify( {
            as_string       => 1,
            path_col_sep    => '~~',
         } );

Yields:

    [
      ["path", "is_actionable"],
      ["~~Alpha", 0],
      ["~~Beta", 0],
      ["~~Alpha~~Epsilon", 0],
      ["~~Alpha~~Epsilon~~Kappa", 1],
      ["~~Alpha~~Zeta", 0],
      ["~~Alpha~~Zeta~~Lambda", 1],
      ["~~Alpha~~Zeta~~Mu", 0],
      ["~~Beta~~Eta", 1],
      ["~~Beta~~Theta", 1],
    ]

Finally, should we want the C column in the returned arrayref to be
named something other than I, we can provide a value to the C
key.

    [
      ["foo", "is_actionable"],
      [["", "Alpha"], 0],
      [["", "Beta"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Epsilon"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Epsilon", "Kappa"], 1],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta"], 0],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta", "Lambda"], 1],
      [["", "Alpha", "Zeta", "Mu"], 0],
      [["", "Beta", "Eta"], 1],
      [["", "Beta", "Theta"], 1],
    ]

item * Arguments

Optional single hash reference.  If provided, the following keys may be used:

=over 4

=item * C

User-supplied name for column holding path information in the returned array
reference.  Defaults to C.

=item * C

Boolean.  If supplied with a true value, path information will be represented
as a separator-delimited string rather than an array reference.

=item * C

User-supplied string to be used to separate the parts of the route when
C is called with a true value.  Not meaningful unless C
is true.

=back

=item * Return Value

Reference to an array of array references.  The first element in the array
will be a reference to an array of field names.  Each succeeding element will
be a reference to an array holding data for one record in the original
taxonomy.  The path data will be represented, by default, as an array
reference built up from the component (C) column in the original
taxonomy, but if C is selected, the path data in all non-header
elements will be a separator-delimited string.

=head2 C

=over 4

=item * Purpose

Create a CSV-formatted file holding the data returned by C.

=item * Arguments

    $csv_file = $self->write_pathified_to_csv( {
       pathified => $pathified,                   # output of pathify()
       csvfile => './t/data/taxonomy_out5.csv',
    } );

Single hash reference.  That hash is keyed on:

=over 4

=item * C

B  Its value must be the arrayref of hash references returned by
the C method.

=item * C

Optional.  Path to location where a CSV-formatted text file holding the
taxonomy-by-adjacent-list will be written.  Defaults to a file called
F in the current working directory.

=item * Text::CSV_XS options

You can also pass through any key-value pairs normally accepted by
F.

=back

=item * Return Value

Returns path to CSV-formatted text file just created.

=item * Example

Suppose we have a CSV-formatted file holding the following taxonomy-by-adjacent-list:

    "id","parent_id","name","is_actionable"
    "1","","Alpha","0"
    "2","","Beta","0"
    "3","1","Epsilon","0"
    "4","3","Kappa","1"
    "5","1","Zeta","0"
    "6","5","Lambda","1"
    "7","5","Mu","0"
    "8","2","Eta","1"
    "9","2","Theta","1"

After running this file through C, C and
C we will have a new CSV-formatted file holding
this taxonomy-by-materialized-path:

    path,is_actionable
    |Alpha,0
    |Beta,0
    |Alpha|Epsilon,0
    |Alpha|Epsilon|Kappa,1
    |Alpha|Zeta,0
    |Alpha|Zeta|Lambda,1
    |Alpha|Zeta|Mu,0
    |Beta|Eta,1
    |Beta|Theta,1

Note that the C, C and C columns have been replaced by the  column.
