module TicketMaster::Provider
  module Base
    # This is the base Project class for providers
    #
    # Providers should inherit this class and redefine the methods
    # 
    # Each provider should have their own @system defined.
    # For example, ticketmaster-unfuddle's @system is :unfuddle and ticketmaster-lighthouse's
    # @system is :lighthouse.
    #
    # Methods that must be implemented by the provider
    #
    # * self.find_by_id
    # * self.find_by_attributes
    #
    # Methods that might need to be implemented by the provider
    # * tickets
    # * ticket
    # * initialize
    # * update
    # * destroy
    # * self.create
    #
    # Methods that would probably be okay if the provider left it alone:
    #
    # * self.find - although you can define your own to optimize it a bit
    # * update!
    #
    # A provider should define as many attributes as feasibly possible. The list below are 
    # some guidelines as to what attributes are necessary, if your provider's api does not
    # implement them, point it to an attribute that is close to it. (for example, a name
    # can point to title. Remember to alias it in your class!)
    # 
    # * id
    # * name
    # * created_at
    # * updated_at
    # * description
