 say "items: " . $adapter->count->get

=item * get - accepts a list of indices

 $adapter->get(
  items   => [1,2,3],
  on_item => sub { ... }
 )->on_done(sub { warn "all done, full list of items: @{$_[0]}" })

The returned list of items are guaranteed not to be modified further, if you want to store the arrayref directly.

=back

This means we have double-notify on get: a request for (1,2,3,4) needs to fire events for each of 1,2,3,4, and also return the list of all of them on completion (by resolving a Future).

=head2 Modification

=over 4

=item * clear - remove all data

=item * splice - modify by adding/removing items at a given point

=item * modify - changes a single entry

=back

Helper methods provide the following:

=over 4

=item * insert - splice $idx, @data, 0

=item * append - splice $idx + 1, @data, 0

=back

=head2 Events

All events are shared over a common bus for each data source, in the usual fashion - adapters and views can subscribe to the ones they're interested in, and publish events at any time.

The adapter raises these:

=over 4

=item * item_changed - the given item has been modified. by default only applies to elements that were marked as visible.

=item * splice - changes to the array which remove or add elements

=item * move - an existing element moves to a new position (some adapters may not be able to differentiate between this and splice: if in doubt, use splice instead, don't report as a move unless it's guaranteed to be existing items)

 index, length, offset (+/-)

=back

The view raises these:

=over 4

=item * visible - indicates visibility of one or more items. change events will start being sent for these items.

 visible => [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Filters may result in a list with gaps:

 visible => [1,3,4,8,9,10]

Note that "visible" means "the user is able to see this data", so they'd be a single page of data rather than the entire set when no filters are applied. Visibility changes often - scrolling will trigger a visible/hidden pair for example.

Also note that ->get may be called on any element, regardless of visibility - prefetching is one common example here.

=item * hidden - no longer visible.

 hidden => [1,2,4]

=item * selected - this item is now part of an active selection. could be used to block deletes.

 selected => [1,4,5,6]

=item * highlight - mouse over, cursor, etc. 

 highlight => 1

Some views won't raise this - if touch control is involved, for example

=item * activate - some action has been performed.

 activate => [1]
 activate => [1,2,5,6,7,8]

Multi-activate will typically happen when items have been selected rather than just highlighted.

The adapter itself doesn't do much with this.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 insert

Inserts data before the given position.

 $adapter->insert(3, [...])

=cut

sub insert {
	my ($self, $idx, $data) = @_;
	$self->splice($idx, 0, $data)
}

=head2 append

Appends data after the given position.

 $adapter->append(3, [...])

=cut

sub append {
	my ($self, $idx, $data) = @_;
	$self->splice($idx + 1, 0, $data)
}

=head2 push

Appends data to the end of the list.

=cut

sub push {
	my ($self, $data) = @_;
	my $f;
	$f = $self->count->then(sub {
		my $count = shift;
		$self->splice($count, 0, $data)->transform(
			done => sub {
				($count, @_)
			}
		);
	})->on_ready(sub { undef $f });
	$f
}

=head2 unshift

Inserts data at the start of the list.

=cut

sub unshift {
	my ($self, $data) = @_;
	$self->splice(0, 0, $data)
}

=head2 pop

Removes the last element from the list, will resolve with the value.

=cut

sub pop {
	my ($self, $data) = @_;
	my $f;
	$f = $self->count->then(sub {
		$self->splice(shift() - 1, 1)
	})->on_ready(sub { undef $f });
	$f
}

=head2 shift

Removes the first element from the list, will resolve with the value.

=cut

sub shift {
	my ($self, $data) = @_;
	$self->splice(0, 1)
}

=head2 all

Returns all the items. Shortcut for calling
L</count> then L</get>.

=cut

sub all {
	my ($self, %args) = @_;
	my $f;
	$f = $self->count->then(sub {
		my ($count) = @_;
		return Future->wrap([]) unless $count;
		$self->get(
			%args,
			items => [0..$count-1],
		)
	})->on_ready(sub { undef $f });
	$f
}
