module TicketMaster::Provider
  module Base
    # The comment class
    #
    # This will probably one of the most troublesome parts of creating a provider for ticketmaster
    # since there are so many different ways comments are handled by different APIs.
    # Keep in mind that if you do need to change/overwrite the methods, you will most likely
    # only need to overwrite #find_by_id, #find_by_attributes, #search, and possibly #initialize
    # as long as their parameters conform to what the find method expects.
    #
    # Here are the expected attributes:
    #
    # * author
    # * body
    # * id
    # * created_at
    # * updated_at
    # * ticket_id
    # * project_id
    class Comment < Hashie::Mash
      include TicketMaster::Provider::Common
      include TicketMaster::Provider::Helper
      extend TicketMaster::Provider::Helper
      attr_accessor :system, :system_data
      API = nil # Replace with your comment's API's Class

      # Find comment
      # You can also retrieve an array of all comments by not specifying any query.
      #
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>) or find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, :all) - Returns an array of all comments
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, ##) - Returns a comment based on that id or some other primary (unique) attribute
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, [#, #, #]) - Returns many comments with these ids
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, :first, :name => 'Project name') - Returns the first comment based on the comment's attribute(s)
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, :last, :name => 'Some project') - Returns the last comment based on the comment's attribute(s)
      # * find(<project_id>, <ticket_id>, :all, :name => 'Test Project') - Returns all comments based on the given attribute(s)
