=head1 NAME

API::MikroTik::Query - Build MikroTik queries from perl structures

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use API::MikroTik::Query qw(build_query);

  # (a = 1 OR a = 2) AND (b = 3 OR c = 4 OR d = 5)
  my $query = {
      a => [1, 2],
      [
        b => 3,
        c => 4,
        d => 5
      ]
  };


  # Some bizarre nested expressions.
  # (a = 1 OR b = 2 OR (e = 5 AND f = 6 AND g = 7))
  #   OR
  # (c = 3 AND d = 4)
  #   OR
  # (h = 8 AND i = 9)
  $query = [
      -or  => {
          a => 1,
          b => 2,

Hashrefs can be also put in lists. If you want them combined into an C<OR>
statement, for example.

  # status = 'active' OR status = 'inactive'
  $query = {mtu => {'=', ['active', 'inactive']}};

Or you can use list as a value in a hashref pair. B<CAVEAT>: In that case, every
other pair in the hash will be ignored.

=head2 Negation

  # !(interface = 'ether5')
  my $query = {interface => {-not => 'ether5'}};

  # !(interface = 'ether5') AND !(interface = 'ether1')
  $query = {interface => {-not => [-and => 'ether5', 'ether1']}};

Since MikroTik API does not have 'not equal' operator, it ends up been 'opposite
of a equals b' expressions.

=head2 Checking for an attributes

  my $query = {-has => 'dafault-name'};

  $query = {-has_not => 'dafault-name'};

Checks if an element has an attribute with specific name.

=head2 Literal queries

  my $query = \['?type=ether', '?running=true', '?actual-mtu=1500', '?#&&'];

  $query = [
      type => 'ipip-tunnel',
      \['?type=ether', '?running=true', '?actual-mtu=1500', '?#&&']
  ];

Reference to an arrayref can be used to pass list of prepared words. Those will
be treated as blocks in nested expressions.

=head2 Logic and nesting

  # (mtu = 1460 AND actual-mtu = 1460)
  #   AND
  # (running = 'false' OR disabled = 'true')

  my $query = {
      {mtu     => 1460,    'actual-mtu' => 1460},
      [running => 'false', disabled     => 'true']
  };

Conditions can be grouped and nested if needed. It's like putting brackets around
them.

  # Same thing, but with prefixes
  my $query = {
      -and => [mtu     => 1460,    'actual-mtu' => 1460],
      -or  => {running => 'false', disabled     => 'true'}
  };

You can change logic applied to a block by using keywords. Those keywords
will go outside for blocks that affect multiple attributes, or ...

  # !(type = 'ether') AND !(type = 'wlan')

  # Will produce the same result
  my $query = {type => [-and => {-not => 'ether'}, {-not => 'wlan'}]};
  $query = {type => {-not => [-and => 'ether', 'wlan']}};

  # Wrong, second condition will replace first
  $query = {type => {-not => 'ether', -not => 'wlan'}};

... inside for a list of values of a single attribute.

  # This is wrong
  my $query = [
    -and =>
      {type => 'ether'},
      {running => 'true'}
  ];

  # It will actually results in
  # type = 'ether' OR running = 'true'

C<-and> will be treated as prefix for the first hashref and, since this hash has
only one element, won't affect anything at all.
