+module DataMapper
+  # = Properties
+  # Properties for a model are not derived from a database structure, but
+  # instead explicitly declared inside your model class definitions. These
+  # properties then map (or, if using automigrate, generate) fields in your
+  # repository/database.
+  #
+  # If you are coming to DataMapper from another ORM framework, such as
+  # ActiveRecord, this may be a fundamental difference in thinking to you.
+  # However, there are several advantages to defining your properties in your
+  # models:
+  #
+  # * information about your model is centralized in one place: rather than
+  #   having to dig out migrations, xml or other configuration files.
+  # * use of mixins can be applied to model properties: better code reuse
+  # * having information centralized in your models, encourages you and the
+  #   developers on your team to take a model-centric view of development.
+  # * it provides the ability to use Ruby's access control functions.
+  # * and, because DataMapper only cares about properties explicitly defined
+  #   in your models, DataMapper plays well with legacy databases, and shares
+  #   databases easily with other applications.
+  #
+  # == Declaring Properties
+  # Inside your class, you call the property method for each property you want
+  # to add. The only two required arguments are the name and type, everything
+  # else is optional.
+  #
+  #   class Post
+  #     include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #     property :title,   String,  :required => true  # Cannot be null
+  #     property :publish, Boolean, :default => false  # Default value for new records is false
+  #   end
+  #
+  # By default, DataMapper supports the following primitive (Ruby) types
+  # also called core properties:
+  #
+  # * Boolean
+  # * Class (datastore primitive is the same as String. Used for Inheritance)
+  # * Date
+  # * DateTime
+  # * Decimal
+  # * Float
+  # * Integer
+  # * Object (marshalled out during serialization)
+  # * String (default length is 50)
+  # * Text (limit of 65k characters by default)
+  # * Time
+  #
+  # == Limiting Access
+  # Property access control is uses the same terminology Ruby does. Properties
+  # are public by default, but can also be declared private or protected as
+  # needed (via the :accessor option).
+  #
+  #  class Post
+  #   include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #    property :title, String, :accessor => :private    # Both reader and writer are private
+  #    property :body,  Text,   :accessor => :protected  # Both reader and writer are protected
+  #  end
+  #
+  # Access control is also analogous to Ruby attribute readers and writers, and can
+  # be declared using :reader and :writer, in addition to :accessor.
+  #
+  #  class Post
+  #    include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #    property :title, String, :writer => :private    # Only writer is private
+  #    property :tags,  String, :reader => :protected  # Only reader is protected
+  #  end
+  #
+  # == Overriding Accessors
+  # The reader/writer for any property can be overridden in the same manner that Ruby
+  # attr readers/writers can be.  After the property is defined, just add your custom
+  # reader or writer:
+  #
+  #  class Post
+  #    include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #    property :title, String
+  #
+  #    def title=(new_title)
+  #      raise ArgumentError if new_title != 'Lee is l337'
+  #      super(new_title)
+  #    end
+  #  end
+  #
+  # Calling super ensures that any validators defined for the property are kept active.
+  #
+  # == Lazy Loading
+  # By default, some properties are not loaded when an object is fetched in
+  # DataMapper. These lazily loaded properties are fetched on demand when their
+  # accessor is called for the first time (as it is often unnecessary to
+  # instantiate -every- property -every- time an object is loaded).  For
+  # instance, DataMapper::Property::Text fields are lazy loading by default,
+  # although you can over-ride this behavior if you wish:
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #
+  #  class Post
+  #    include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #    property :title, String  # Loads normally
+  #    property :body,  Text    # Is lazily loaded by default
+  #  end
+  #
+  # If you want to over-ride the lazy loading on any field you can set it to a
+  # context or false to disable it with the :lazy option. Contexts allow
+  # multiple lazy properties to be loaded at one time. If you set :lazy to
+  # true, it is placed in the :default context
+  #
+  #  class Post
+  #    include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #    property :title,   String                                    # Loads normally
+  #    property :body,    Text,   :lazy => false                    # The default is now over-ridden
+  #    property :comment, String, :lazy => [ :detailed ]            # Loads in the :detailed context
+  #    property :author,  String, :lazy => [ :summary, :detailed ]  # Loads in :summary & :detailed context
+  #  end
+  #
+  # Delaying the request for lazy-loaded attributes even applies to objects
+  # accessed through associations. In a sense, DataMapper anticipates that
+  # you will likely be iterating over objects in associations and rolls all
+  # of the load commands for lazy-loaded properties into one request from
+  # the database.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #
+  #   Widget.get(1).components
+  #     # loads when the post object is pulled from database, by default
+  #
+  #   Widget.get(1).components.first.body
+  #     # loads the values for the body property on all objects in the
+  #     # association, rather than just this one.
+  #
+  #   Widget.get(1).components.first.comment
+  #     # loads both comment and author for all objects in the association
+  #     # since they are both in the :detailed context
+  #
+  # == Keys
+  # Properties can be declared as primary or natural keys on a table.
+  # You should a property as the primary key of the table:
+  #
+  # Examples:
+  #
+  #  property :id,        Serial                # auto-incrementing key
+  #  property :legacy_pk, String, :key => true  # 'natural' key
+  #
+  # This is roughly equivalent to ActiveRecord's <tt>set_primary_key</tt>,
+  # though non-integer data types may be used, thus DataMapper supports natural
+  # keys. When a property is declared as a natural key, accessing the object
+  # using the indexer syntax <tt>Class[key]</tt> remains valid.
+  #
+  #   User.get(1)
+  #      # when :id is the primary key on the users table
+  #   User.get('bill')
+  #      # when :name is the primary (natural) key on the users table
+  #
+  # == Indices
+  # You can add indices for your properties by using the <tt>:index</tt>
+  # option. If you use <tt>true</tt> as the option value, the index will be
+  # automatically named. If you want to name the index yourself, use a symbol
+  # as the value.
+  #
+  #   property :last_name,  String, :index => true
+  #   property :first_name, String, :index => :name
+  #
+  # You can create multi-column composite indices by using the same symbol in
+  # all the columns belonging to the index. The columns will appear in the
+  # index in the order they are declared.
+  #
+  #   property :last_name,  String, :index => :name
+  #   property :first_name, String, :index => :name
+  #      # => index on (last_name, first_name)
+  #
+  # If you want to make the indices unique, use <tt>:unique_index</tt> instead
+  # of <tt>:index</tt>
+  #
+  # == Inferred Validations
+  # If you require the dm-validations plugin, auto-validations will
+  # automatically be mixed-in in to your model classes: validation rules that
+  # are inferred when properties are declared with specific column restrictions.
+  #
+  #   class Post
+  #     include DataMapper::Resource
+  #
+  #     property :title, String, :length => 250, :min => 0, :max => 250
+  #     # => infers 'validates_length :title'
+  #
+  #     property :title, String, :required => true
+  #     # => infers 'validates_present :title'
+  #
+  #     property :email, String, :format => :email_address
+  #     # => infers 'validates_format :email, :with => :email_address'
+  #
+  #     property :title, String, :length => 255, :required => true
+  #     # => infers both 'validates_length' as well as 'validates_present'
+  #     #    better: property :title, String, :length => 1..255
+  #   end
+  #
+  # This functionality is available with the dm-validations gem. For more information
+  # about validations, check the documentation for dm-validations.
+  #
+  # == Default Values
+  # To set a default for a property, use the <tt>:default</tt> key. The
+  # property will be set to the value associated with that key the first time
+  # it is accessed, or when the resource is saved if it hasn't been set with
+  # another value already. This value can be a static value, such as 'hello'
+  # but it can also be a proc that will be evaluated when the property is read
+  # before its value has been set. The property is set to the return of the
+  # proc. The proc is passed two values, the resource the property is being set
+  # for and the property itself.
+  #
+  #   property :display_name, String, :default => lambda { |resource, property| resource.login }
+  #
+  # Word of warning.  Don't try to read the value of the property you're setting
+  # the default for in the proc.  An infinite loop will ensue.
+  #
+  # == Embedded Values (not implemented yet)
+  # As an alternative to extraneous has_one relationships, consider using an
+  # EmbeddedValue.
+  #
+  # == Property options reference
+  #
+  #  :accessor            if false, neither reader nor writer methods are
+  #                       created for this property
+  #
+  #  :reader              if false, reader method is not created for this property
+  #
+  #  :writer              if false, writer method is not created for this property
+  #
+  #  :lazy                if true, property value is only loaded when on first read
+  #                       if false, property value is always loaded
+  #                       if a symbol, property value is loaded with other properties
+  #                       in the same group
+  #
+  #  :default             default value of this property
+  #
+  #  :allow_nil           if true, property may have a nil value on save
+  #
+  #  :key                 name of the key associated with this property.
+  #
+  #  :field               field in the data-store which the property corresponds to
+  #
+  #  :length              string field length
+  #
+  #  :format              format for autovalidation. Use with dm-validations plugin.
+  #
+  #  :index               if true, index is created for the property. If a Symbol, index
+  #                       is named after Symbol value instead of being based on property name.
+  #
+  #  :unique_index        true specifies that index on this property should be unique
+  #
+  #  :auto_validation     if true, automatic validation is performed on the property
+  #
+  #  :validates           validation context. Use together with dm-validations.
+  #
+  #  :unique              if true, property column is unique. Properties of type Serial
+  #                       are unique by default.
+  #
+  #  :precision           Indicates the number of significant digits. Usually only makes sense
+  #                       for float type properties. Must be >= scale option value. Default is 10.
+  #
+  #  :scale               The number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point.
+  #                       Only makes sense for float type properties. Must be > 0.
+  #                       Default is nil for Float type and 10 for BigDecimal
+  #
+  # == Overriding default Property options
+  #
+  # There is the ability to reconfigure a Property and it's subclasses by explicitly
+  # setting a value in the Property, eg:
+  #
+  #   # set all String properties to have a default length of 255
+  #   DataMapper::Property::String.length(255)
+  #
+  #   # set all Boolean properties to not allow nil (force true or false)
+  #   DataMapper::Property::Boolean.allow_nil(false)
+  #
+  #   # set all properties to be required by default
+  #   DataMapper::Property.required(true)
+  #
+  #   # turn off auto-validation for all properties by default
+  #   DataMapper::Property.auto_validation(false)
+  #
+  #   # set all mutator methods to be private by default
+  #   DataMapper::Property.writer(:private)
+  #
+  # Please note that this has no effect when a subclass has explicitly
+  # defined it's own option. For example, setting the String length to
+  # 255 will not affect the Text property even though it inherits from
+  # String, because it sets it's own default length to 65535.
+  #
+  # == Misc. Notes
+  # * Properties declared as strings will default to a length of 50, rather than
+  #   255 (typical max varchar column size).  To overload the default, pass
+  #   <tt>:length => 255</tt> or <tt>:length => 0..255</tt>.  Since DataMapper
+  #   does not introspect for properties, this means that legacy database tables
+  #   may need their <tt>String</tt> columns defined with a <tt>:length</tt> so
+  #   that DM does not apply an un-needed length validation, or allow overflow.
+  # * You may declare a Property with the data-type of <tt>Class</tt>.
+  #   see SingleTableInheritance for more on how to use <tt>Class</tt> columns.
