///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Step 1. Define the database trait

// Define a **database trait** listing out all the prototypes
// that are defined in this section of the code (in real applications
// you would have many of these). For each query, we just give the
// name of the accessor method (`input_string`) and link that to a
// query type (`InputString`) that will be defined later.
salsa::query_prototype! {
    trait HelloWorldDatabase: salsa::Database {
        fn input_string(key: ()) -> Arc<String> {
            type InputString;
            storage input;
        }

        fn length(key: ()) -> usize {
            type Length;
        }
    }
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Step 2. Define the queries.

// Define a **function query**. It too has a key and value type, but
// it is defined with a function that -- given the key -- computes the
// value. This function is supplied with a context (an `&impl
// HelloWorldDatabase`) that gives access to other queries. The runtime
// will track which queries you use so that we can incrementally
// update memoized results.
impl<DB: HelloWorldDatabase> salsa::QueryFunction<DB> for Length {
    fn execute(db: &DB, _key: ()) -> usize {
        // Read the input string:
        let input_string = db.input_string(());

        // Return its length:
        input_string.len()
    }
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Step 3. Define the database struct that implements the database trait

// Define the actual database struct. This must contain a salsa
// runtime but can also contain anything else you need.
#[derive(Default)]
struct DatabaseStruct {
    runtime: salsa::runtime::Runtime<DatabaseStruct>,
}

// Tell salsa where to find the runtime in your context.
impl salsa::Database for DatabaseStruct {
    fn salsa_runtime(&self) -> &salsa::runtime::Runtime<DatabaseStruct> {
        &self.runtime
    }
}

// Define the full set of queries that your context needs. This would
// in general combine (and implement) all the database traits in
// your application into one place, allocating storage for all of
// them.
salsa::database_storage! {
    struct DatabaseStorage for DatabaseStruct {
        impl HelloWorldDatabase {
            fn input_string() for InputString;
            fn length() for Length;
        }
    }
}

// This shows how to use a query.
fn main() {
    let db = DatabaseStruct::default();

    println!("Initially, the length is {}.", db.length(()));

    db.query(InputString)
        .set((), Arc::new(format!("Hello, world")));

    println!("Now, the length is {}.", db.length(()));
