=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class provides a check list element for a L<Config::Model::Node>.
In other words, this class provides a list of booleans items. Each item
can be set to 1 or 0.

The available items in the check list can be :

=over

=item * 

A fixed list (with the C<choice> parameter)

=item *

A dynamic list where the available choice are the keys of another hash
of the configuration tree. See L</"Choice reference"> for details.

=back

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

CheckList object should not be created directly.

=head1 CheckList model declaration

A check list element must be declared with the following parameters:

=over

=item type

Always C<checklist>.

=item choice

A list ref containing the check list items (optional)

=item refer_to

This parameter is used when the keys of a hash are used to specify the
possible choices of the check list. C<refer_to> point to a hash or list
element in the configuration tree. See L<Choice reference> for
details. (optional)

=item computed_refer_to

Like C<refer_to>, but use a computed value to find the hash or list
element in the configuration tree. See L<Choice reference> for
details. (optional)

=item default_list

List ref to specify the check list items which are "on" by default.
(optional)

=item ordered

Specify whether the order of checked items must be preserved. 

=item help

Hash ref to provide information on the check list items.

=item warp

Used to provide dynamic modifications of the check list properties
See L<Config::Model::Warper> for details

=back

For example:

=over

=item *

A simple check list with help:

       choice_list
       => { type => 'check_list',
            choice     => ['A' .. 'Z'],
            help => { A => 'A help', E => 'E help' } ,
          },

=item *

A check list with default values:

       choice_list_with_default
       => { type => 'check_list',
            choice     => ['A' .. 'Z'],
            default_list   => [ 'A', 'D' ],
          },

=item *

A check list whose available choice and default change depending on
the value of the C<macro> parameter:

       'warped_choice_list'
       => { type => 'check_list',
            warp => { follow => '- macro',
                      rules  => { AD => { choice => [ 'A' .. 'D' ], 
                                          default_list => ['A', 'B' ] },
                                  AH => { choice => [ 'A' .. 'H' ] },
                                }
                    }
          },

=back

=head1 Introspection methods

The following methods returns the checklist parameter :

=over

=item refer_to

=item computed_refer_to

=back

=head1 Choice reference

The choice items of a check_list can be given by another configuration
element. This other element can be:

=over

=item *

The keys of a hash

=item *

Another checklist. In this case only the checked items of the other
checklist will be available.

=back

This other hash or other checklist is indicated by the C<refer_to> or
C<computed_refer_to> parameter. C<refer_to> uses the syntax of the
C<step> parameter of L<grab(...)|Config::AnyThing/"grab(...)">

See L<refer_to parameter|Config::Model::IdElementReference/"refer_to parameter">.

=head2 Reference examples

=over

=item *

A check list where the available choices are the keys of C<my_hash>
configuration parameter:

       refer_to_list
       => { type => 'check_list',
            refer_to => '- my_hash'
          },

=item *

A check list where the available choices are the checked items of
C<other_check_list> configuration parameter:

       other_check_list => { type => 'check_list', 
                             choice => [qw/A B C/]
                           },
       refer_to_list
       => { type => 'check_list',
            refer_to => '- other_check_list'
          },

=item *

A check list where the available choices are the keys of C<my_hash>
and C<my_hash2> and C<my_hash3> configuration parameter:

       refer_to_3_lists
       => { type => 'check_list',
            refer_to => '- my_hash + - my_hash2   + - my_hash3'
          },

=item *

A check list where the available choices are the specified choice and
the choice of C<refer_to_3_lists> and a hash whose name is specified
by the value of the C<indirection> configuration parameter (this
example is admittedly convoluted):

       refer_to_check_list_and_choice
       => { type => 'check_list',
            computed_refer_to => { formula => '- refer_to_2_list + - $var',
                                   variables { 'var' => '- indirection ' }
                                 },
            choice  => [qw/A1 A2 A3/],
          },

=head1 Methods

=head2 get_type

Returns C<check_list>.

=head2 cargo_type()

Returns 'leaf'.

=head2 check ( ... )

Set choice. Parameter is either a list of choices to set or 
a list ref and some optional parameter. I.e:

  check (\@list, check => 'skip') ;

C<check> parameter decide on behavior in case of invalid
choice value: either die (if yes) or discard bad value (if skip)

=head2 uncheck (...)

Unset choice. Parameter is either a list of choices to unset or 
a list ref and some optional parameter. I.e:

  uncheck (\@list, check => 'skip') ;

C<check> parameter decide on behavior in case of invalid
choice value: either die (if yes) or discard bad value (if skip)

=head2 is_checked( choice, [ check => yes|skip ] , [ mode => ... ])

Return 1 if the given C<choice> was set. Returns 0 otherwise.

C<check> parameter decide on behavior in case of invalid
choice value: either die (if yes) or discard bad value (if skip)

C<mode> is either: custom standard preset default layered upstream_default

=head2 get_choice

Returns an array of all items names that can be checked (i.e.
that can have value 0 or 1).

=head2 get_help (choice_value)

Return the help string on this choice value

=head2 clear

Reset the check list (can also be called as C<clear_values>)

=head2 clear_item (choice_value)

Reset an element of the checklist.

=head2 get_checked_list_as_hash ( [ custom | preset | standard | default ] )

Returns a hash (or a hash ref) of all items. The boolean value is the
value of the hash.

Example:

 { A => 0, B => 1, C => 0 , D => 1}

By default, this method will return all items set by the user, or
items set in preset mode or checked by default.

With a parameter, this method will return either:

=over

=item custom

The list entered by the user

=item preset

The list entered in preset mode

=item standard

The list set in preset mode or checked by default.

=item default

The default list (defined by the configuration model)

=item layered

The list specified in layered mode. 

=item upstream_default

The list implemented by upstream project (defined in the configuration
model)

=item user

The list set that will be active in the application. (ie. set by user or
by layered data or preset or default)

=back

=head2 get_checked_list ( < mode >  )

Returns a list (or a list ref) of all checked items (i.e. all items
set to 1). 

=head2 fetch ( < mode > )

Returns a string listing the checked items (i.e. "A,B,C")

=head2 get( path  [, < mode> ] )

Get a value from a directory like path.

=head2 set( path , values )

Set a checklist with a directory like path. Since a checklist is a leaf, the path
should be empty. The values are a comma separated list of checked items.

Example : C<< $leaf->set('','A,C,Z') ; >>

=head2 set_checked_list ( item1, item2, ..)

Set all passed items to checked (1). All other available items
in the check list are set to 0.

Example:

  # set cl to A=0 B=1 C=0 D=1
  $cl->set_checked_list('B','D')

=head2 set_checked_list_as_hash ()

Set check_list items. Missing items in the given list of parameters
are cleared (i.e. set to undef).

=head2 load_data ( ref )

Load check_list as an array or hash ref. Array is forwarded to
L<set_checked_list> , and hash is forwarded to L<set_checked_list_as_hash>.

=head1 Ordered checklist methods

All the methods below are valid only for ordered checklists.

=head1 swap ( choice_a, choice_b)

Swap the 2 given choice in the list. Both choice must be already set.

=head1 move_up ( choice )

Move the choice up in the checklist. 

=head1 move_down ( choice )

Move the choice down in the checklist.
