//! Reference system for nested object relationships
//!
//! This module provides the `Ref<T>` type that allows storing references to other
//! `Storable` objects. When a struct contains `Ref<T>`, only the key is stored,
//! and the referenced object is automatically fetched during retrieval.
//!
//! You can access the referenced value via `.get(&db)` which automatically resolves
//! the reference on-demand without requiring mutable access to the parent struct.
//!
//! # Key Features
//!
//! - **Space Efficient**: Only stores keys, not full objects
//! - **Immutable API**: No `&mut` needed - uses interior mutability for lazy loading
//! - **Automatic Resolution**: References are resolved on-demand when you call `.get(&db)`
//! - **Cached**: First call resolves from DB, subsequent calls use cached value
//! - **Type Safe**: Compile-time verification of reference relationships
//! - **Nested Support**: References can contain other references
//! - **Attribute Macro**: Use `#[ngdb("name")]` to automatically generate all boilerplate
//!
//! # Quick Start with NGDB Attribute (Recommended)
//!
//! The easiest way to use references is with the `#[ngdb("name")]` attribute macro:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use ngdb::{Storable, Ref, Database, Result};
//!
//! // Define a User type
//! #[ngdb("users")]
//! struct User {
//! id: u64,
//! name: String,
//! }
//!
//! impl Storable for User {
//! type Key = u64;
//! fn key(&self) -> Self::Key { self.id }
//! }
//!
//! // Define a Post that references a User
//! #[ngdb("posts")]
//! struct Post {
//! id: u64,
//! title: String,
//! author: Ref<User>, // Only stores user_id internally
//! }
//!
//! impl Storable for Post {
//! type Key = u64;
//! fn key(&self) -> Self::Key { self.id }
//! }
//!
//! // The #[ngdb] attribute automatically:
//! // - Adds derives: BorshSerialize, BorshDeserialize, Clone, Debug
//! // - Generates Post::collection_name() -> "posts"
//! // - Generates Post::collection(&db) -> Collection<Post>
//! // - Generates Post::save(&self, db) -> Result<()>
//! // - Implements Referable that resolves all Ref<T> fields
//!
//! // Store objects (no need to manually get collections!)
//! let user = User { id: 1, name: "Alice".to_string() };
//! user.save(&db)?;
//!
//! let post = Post {
//! id: 1,
//! title: "Hello World".to_string(),
//! author: Ref::from_value(user),
//! };
//! post.save(&db)?;
//!
//! // Retrieve post - no mut needed!
//! let posts = Post::collection(&db)?;
//! let post = posts.get(&1)?.unwrap(); // Immutable!
//!
//! // Call .get(&db) to automatically resolve and access the author
//! let author = post.author.get(&db)?; // Works without mut!
//! println!("Author: {}", author.name);
//!
//! // Multiple accesses use cached value - no DB queries
//! let name = post.author.get(&db)?.name;
//! let email = post.author.get(&db)?.email;
//! ```
//!
//! # Nested References
//!
//! References can be nested - a referenced object can itself contain references.
//! The attribute macro automatically handles this:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[ngdb("comments")]
//! struct Comment {
//! id: u64,
//! text: String,
//! author: Ref<User>,
//! post: Ref<Post>, // Post also has a Ref<User>
//! }
//!
//! // The #[ngdb] attribute generates resolve_all() that:
//! // 1. Resolves self.author from "users" collection
//! // 2. Resolves self.post from "posts" collection
//! // 3. Calls post.resolve_all() to resolve nested references
//! ```
//!
//! # Manual Implementation (Advanced)
//!
//! If you need more control, you can manually implement `Referable`:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! impl Referable for Post {
//! fn resolve_all(&self, db: &Database) -> Result<()> {
//! // Manually resolve individual references
//! self.author.resolve(db, User::collection_name())?;
//!
//! // Nested references are also resolved
//! if let Ok(author) = self.author.get(db) {
//! author.resolve_all(db)?;
//! }
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Important Notes
//!
//! - **Circular references are NOT supported**: Don't create cycles (A -> B -> A)
//! - **Serialization**: Only the key is serialized, not the full object
//! - **Caching**: First `.get()` resolves from DB, subsequent calls use cached value
//! - **Performance**: Each reference resolution requires a database lookup (on first access)
//! - **Thread Safety**: Uses `parking_lot::RwLock` (thread-safe), safe to share across threads
//! - **Attribute Macro**: Use `#[ngdb("name")]` to eliminate boilerplate and auto-add derives

/// This trait is automatically implemented by the `#[ngdb]` macro.

/// Implementing this trait allows a type to:
