//! FromRow trait for mapping database rows to Rust structs

use crate::error::Result;
use crate::value::Value;

/// A database row that can be queried by column name.
///
/// This trait abstracts over different database row implementations,
/// allowing the same `FromRow` implementations to work with different
/// database backends.
pub trait Row {
    /// Get a value from the row by column name as a dynamic Value.
    ///
    /// Returns an error if the column doesn't exist.
    fn get_value(&self, column: &str) -> Result<Value>;
}

/// Extension trait for typed access to row values.
pub trait RowExt: Row {
    /// Get a typed value from the row by column name.
    fn get<T: crate::FromValue>(&self, column: &str) -> Result<T> {
        let value = self.get_value(column)?;
        T::from_value(value)
    }
}

// Implement RowExt for all Row types
impl<R: Row> RowExt for R {}

/// Trait for types that can be constructed from a database row.
///
/// This trait is typically implemented via the `#[derive(FromRow)]` macro,
/// which generates the implementation automatically based on struct fields.
///
/// # Manual Implementation
