<?php
/**
 * WP_View_Config_Data class
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @since 7.1.0
 */

/**
 * Holds an entity's view configuration while it is being built.
 *
 * An instance of this class is what `get_entity_view_config_{$kind}_{$name}`
 * filter callbacks receive: a callback changes the configuration by calling
 * methods on the instance and returning it. The configuration has four
 * top-level keys — `default_view`, `default_layouts`, `view_list`, and
 * `form` — and there are three ways to contribute. They form a gradient of how
 * deep the replacement reaches:
 *
 * - The `merge()` method merges partial changes (patches) into what is already
 *   there: `default_view`, `default_layouts`, and the `form` settings by key,
 *   and the `view_list` entries by view `slug` identity. This is what plugins
 *   should use: patches compose with core's configuration and with other
 *   plugins'.
 * - `replace()` applies a patch the same way `merge()` does, with one
 *   difference: a list in the patch replaces the current list wholesale
 *   instead of merging into it by member identity. It shouldn't be the
 *   default choice — a callback that replaces a list stops inheriting core's
 *   future additions to it — but it's useful when a contributor needs to pin
 *   a list to an exact set of members.
 * - `set()` goes one step further: it replaces each top-level key the patch
 *   names wholesale, dropping whatever that key held instead of merging into
 *   it. It's for a callback that owns a key outright and wants to pin it to an
 *   exact shape without the inherited default leaking through a key-by-key
 *   merge.
 *
 * All three touch only the top-level keys the patch names — an omitted key
 * keeps whatever it had, and a top-level `null` value drops the key it names,
 * which resets it to its default. They differ only in how deep the replacement
 * reaches once a key is named: `merge()` and `replace()` merge the value in
 * key by key (an associative array merges member by member, a nested `null`
 * deletes just that leaf, a scalar replaces just that value), while `set()`
 * swaps the whole value. A nested `null` deletes just the leaf it names in
 * every case. A patch value whose shape does not match the current value —
 * an associative array where a list lives, or the reverse — is rejected with
 * a notice rather than merged, and an empty array under `merge()` is a
 * no-op. Each patch also declares the configuration schema
 * version it was written against (currently 1), so a future WordPress release
 * that changes the configuration shape can migrate existing patches forward
 * instead of breaking them.
 *
 * Where those three write values, `remove()` deletes them: it takes a spec of
 * names — a list to delete entries at a level, or a nested map to reach deeper —
 * and prunes just what it names, mirroring the configuration's shape all the way
 * down to individual list members.

		 *
		 * Callbacks receive a WP_View_Config_Data object and change the

		 * version the change was authored against as its second argument,
		 * and returns the object for chaining:
		 *
		 * - `merge( $patch, $version )` merges a partial change into the current
		 *   configuration. It touches only the top-level keys the patch names, and
		 *   merges each named value into the current one by shape: a scalar
		 *   replaces, an associative array merges key by key, and a list merges by
		 *   member identity (`id`, `slug`, or `field`). A `null` value drops the
		 *   key it names, resetting it to its default.
		 * - `replace( $patch, $version )` applies a patch exactly like `merge()`,
		 *   but swaps any list it names wholesale instead of merging that list by
		 *   member identity.
		 * - `set( $patch, $version )` also touches only the keys the patch names,
		 *   but swaps each named value in wholesale, dropping whatever the key held
		 *   before — for a callback that owns those keys outright.
		 * - `remove( $spec, $version )` deletes named properties. The spec mirrors
		 *   the configuration shape: a list of names deletes entries at that level,
		 *   and a nested map recurses to prune from within a named value, down to
		 *   individual list members.
		 *
		 * A change that declares an unsupported schema version is rejected and does
		 * not alter anything. As with any filter, each callback's return value is
		 * passed to the next callback as `$data`, so callbacks must return the
		 * container they received: a callback that returns nothing, or any other
		 * value, hands that result to every callback hooked at a later priority
		 * instead of the container. Since the write methods return the container,
