Imagine: an ORM for config
This library lets you declare your config in a way you might know from popular ORM's.
You get
- expressive configuration declaration
- popular fileformats (json, yml?)
- command line options
- env configuration variables
import cnfrm
class MyConf(cnfrm.Config):
name = cnfrm.Field("no name")
size = cnfrm.IntegerField(required=False)
path = cnfrm.DirectoryField(required=False)
email = cnfrm.EmailField(required=False)
filename = cnfrm.FileField()
# create a config instance
config = MyConf()
# start reading things, the later overwrites the former
config.read_env()
config.read_json("~/myconf.json", quiet=True)
config.read_args()
# check if the configuration is complete
config.validate()
# write config to file:
config.write_json("~/myconf.json")
