Qonfig ·

Powerful configuration Ruby-framework with a support for many commonly used config formats with a multi-functional API, developer-friendly DSL and object-oriented behavior.

Support for: YAML, TOML, JSON, ENV, __END__-instructions;
Fully thread-safe;
Object-oriented behavior (config as an object, inhertance, composition, etc), with an abilities of lazy-instantiation;
Pluggable and extendable multi-functional API;
Developer-friendly DSL :)

# in the past...:

Config. Defined as a class. Used as an instance. Support for inheritance and composition.
Lazy instantiation. Thread-safe. Command-style DSL. Validation layer. **Dot-notation**)
And pretty-print :) Support for **YAML**, **TOML**, **JSON**, **\_\_END\_\_**, **ENV**.
Extremely simple to define. Extremely simple to use. That's all? **Not** :)

Definition and Access

setting(name, value = nil) - define setting with corresponding name and value;
setting(name) { setting(name, value = nil); ... } - define nested settings OR reopen existing nested setting and define some new nested settings;
re_setting(name, value = nil), re_setting(name) { ... } - re-define existing setting (or define new if the original does not exist);
accessing: access via method, access via index-method [], .dig, .slice, .slice_value, .subset;

Configuration

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :testing do
    setting :engine, :rspec
    setting :parallel, true
  end

  setting :geo_api do
    setting :provider, :google_maps
  end

  setting :enable_middlewares, false
end

config = Config.new

configure via proc

config.configure do |conf|
  conf.enable_middlewares = true
  conf.geo_api.provider = :yandex_maps
  conf.testing.engine = :mini_test
end

configure via settings object (by option name)

config.settings.enable_middlewares = false
config.settings.geo_api.provider = :apple_maps
config.settings.testing.engine = :ultra_test

configure via settings object (by setting key)

config.settings[:enable_middlewares] = true
config.settings[:geo_api][:provider] = :rambler_maps
config.settings[:testing][:engine] = :mega_test

instant configuration via proc

config = Config.new do |conf|
  conf.enable_middlewares = false
  conf.geo_api.provider = :amazon_maps
  conf.testing.engine = :crypto_test
end

using a hash

config = Config.new(
  testing: { engine: :mini_test, parallel: false },
  geo_api: { provider: :rambler_maps },
  enable_middlewares: true
)
config.configure(enable_middlewares: false)

using both hash and proc (proc has higher priority)

config = Config.new(enable_middlewares: true) do |conf|
  conf.testing.parallel = true
end

config.configure(geo_api: { provider: nil }) do |conf|
  conf.testing.engine = :rspec
end

Inheritance

class CommonConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :uploader, :fog
end

class ProjectConfig < CommonConfig
  setting :auth_provider, :github
end

project_config = ProjectConfig.new

# inherited setting
project_config.settings.uploader # => :fog

# own setting
project_config.settings.auth_provider # => :github

Composition

class SharedConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :logger, Logger.new
end

class ServerConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :port, 12345
  setting :address, '0.0.0.0'
end

class DatabaseConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :user, 'test'
  setting :password, 'testpaswd'
end

class ProjectConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  compose SharedConfig

  setting :server do
    compose ServerConfig
  end

  setting :db do
    compose DatabaseConfig
  end
end

project_config = ProjectConfig.new

# fields from SharedConfig
project_config.settings.logger # => #<Logger:0x66f57048>

# fields from ServerConfig
project_config.settings.server.port # => 12345
project_config.settings.server.address # => '0.0.0.0'

# fields from DatabaseConfig
project_config.settings.db.user # => 'test'
project_config.settings.db.password # => 'testpaswd'

Hash representation

works via #to_h and #to_hash;
supported options:
- key_transformer: - an optional proc that accepts setting key and makes your custom transformations;
- value_transformer: - an optional proc that accepts setting value and makes your custom transformations;
- dot_style: - (false by default) represent setting keys in dot-notation (transformations are supported too);

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :serializers do
    setting :json do
      setting :engine, :ok
    end

    setting :hash do
      setting :engine, :native
    end
  end

  setting :adapter do
    setting :default, :memory_sync
  end

  setting :logger, Logger.new(STDOUT)
end

Default behavior (without-options)

Config.new.to_h
# =>
{
  "serializers": {
    "json" => { "engine" => :ok },
    "hash" => { "engine" => :native },
  },
  "adapter" => { "default" => :memory_sync },
  "logger" => #<Logger:0x4b0d79fc>
}

With transformations

with key_transformer and/or value_transformer;

key_transformer = -> (key) { "#{key}!!" }
value_transformer = -> (value) { "#{value}??" }

Config.new.to_h(key_transformer: key_transformer, value_transformer: value_transformer)
# =>
{
  "serializers!!": {
    "json!!" => { "engine!!" => "ok??" },
    "hash!!" => { "engine!!" => "native??" },
  },
  "adapter!!" => { "default!!" => "memory_sync??" },
  "logger!!" => "#<Logger:0x00007fcde799f158>??"
}

Dot-style format

transformations are supported too (key_transformer and value_transformer);

Config.new.to_h(dot_style: true)
# =>
{
  "serializers.json.engine" => :ok,
  "serializers.hash.engine" => :native,
  "adapter.default" => :memory_sync,
  "logger" => #<Logger:0x4b0d79fc>,
}

transformer = -> (value) { "$$#{value}$$" }

Config.new.to_h(dot_style: true, key_transformer: transformer, value_transformer: transformer)

# => "#<Logger:0x00007fcde799f158>??"
{
  "$$serializers.json.engine$$" => "$$ok$$",
  "$$serializers.hash.engine$$" => "$$native$$",
  "$$adapter.default$$" => "$$memory_sync$$",
  "$$logger$$" => "$$#<Logger:0x00007fcde799f158>$$",
}

Smart Mixin

class-level:
- .configuration - settings definitions;
- .configure - configuration;
- .config - config object;
- settings definitions are inheritable;
instance-level:
- #configure - configuration;
- #config - config object;
- #shared_config - class-level config object;

# --- usage ---

class Application
  # make configurable
  include Qonfig::Configurable

  configuration do
    setting :user
    setting :password
  end
end

app = Application.new

# class-level config
Application.config.settings.user # => nil
Application.config.settings.password # => nil

# instance-level config
app.config.settings.user # => nil
app.config.settings.password # => nil

# access to the class level config from an instance
app.shared_config.settings.user # => nil
app.shared_config.settings.password # => nil

# class-level configuration
Application.configure do |conf|
  conf.user = '0exp'
  conf.password = 'test123'
end

# instance-level configuration
app.configure do |conf|
  conf.user = 'admin'
  conf.password = '123test'
end

# class has own config object
Application.config.settings.user # => '0exp'
Application.config.settings.password # => 'test123'

# instance has own config object
app.config.settings.user # => 'admin'
app.config.settings.password # => '123test'

# access to the class level config from an instance
app.shared_config.settings.user # => '0exp'
app.shared_config.settings.password # => 'test123'

# and etc... (all Qonfig-related features)

# --- inheritance ---

class BasicApplication
  # make configurable
  include Qonfig::Configurable

  configuration do
    setting :user
    setting :pswd
  end

  configure do |conf|
    conf.user = 'admin'
    conf.pswd = 'admin'
  end
end

class GeneralApplication < BasicApplication
  # extend inherited definitions
  configuration do
    setting :db do
      setting :adapter
    end
  end

  configure do |conf|
    conf.user = '0exp' # .user inherited from BasicApplication
    conf.pswd = '123test' # .pswd inherited from BasicApplication
    conf.db.adapter = 'pg'
  end
end

BasicApplication.config.to_h
{ 'user' => 'admin', 'pswd' => 'admin' }

GeneralApplication.config.to_h
{ 'user' => '0exp', 'pswd' => '123test', 'db' => { 'adapter' => 'pg' } }

Instantiation without class definition

without inheritance:

config = Qonfig::DataSet.build do
  setting :user, 'D@iVeR'
  setting :password, 'test123'

  def custom_method
    'custom_result'
  end
end

config.is_a?(Qonfig::DataSet) # => true

config.settings.user # => 'D@iVeR'
config.settings.password # => 'test123'
config.custom_method # => 'custom_result'

with inheritance:

class GeneralConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :db_adapter, :postgresql
end

config = Qonfig::DataSet.build(GeneralConfig) do
  setting :web_api, 'api.google.com'
end

config.is_a?(Qonfig::DataSet) # => true

config.settings.db_adapter # => :postgresql
config.settings.web_api # => "api.google.com"

Compacted config

Definition and instantiation
Setting readers and writers

Qonfig::Compacted: represents the compacted config object with setting readers, setting writers and setting predicates only - and no any other useful instance-based functionality:
setting keys are represented as direct instace methods (#settings invokation does not need);
support for index-like access methods ([],[]=);
full support of Qonfig::DataSet definition DSL commands:
- setting, re_setting doc
- validate, add_validator doc
- load_from_self doc, load_from_yaml doc, load_from_json doc, load_from_toml doc;
- expose_self doc, expose_yaml doc, expose_json doc, expose_toml doc
- values_file doc
support for validation of potential setting values .valid_with? documentation;
can be instantiated by:
- by existing config object: Qonfig::DataSet#compacted or Qonfig::Compacted.build_from(config, &configuration);
- from existing Qonfig::DataSet class: Qonfig::DataSet.build_compacted;
- by direct instantiation: Qonfig::Compacted.new(settings_values = {}, &configuration);
- by implicit instance building without explicit class definition Qonfig::Compacted.build(&dsl_commands);
you can define your own instance methods too;

Definition and instantiation

by raw initialization

class Config < Qonfig::Compacted
  setting :api, 'google.com'
  setting :enabled, true
  setting :queue do
    setting :engine, :sidekiq
  end
end

config = Config.new(api: 'yandex.ru') do |conf|
  conf.enabled = false
end

config.api # => 'yandex.ru'
config.enabled # => false
config.queue.engine # => :sidekiq

by existing Qonfig::DataSet class

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :api, 'google.com'
  setting :enabled, true
end

config = Config.build_compacted # builds Qonfig::Compacted instance

config.api # => 'google.com'
config.enabled # => true

by existing Qonfig::DataSet instance

Qonfig::DataSet#compacted
(or) Qonfig::Compacted.build_from(config)

  setting :api, 'google.com'
  setting :enabled, true
end

config = Config.new

compacted_config = config.compacted
# --- or ---
compacted_config = Qonfig::Compacted.build_from(config)

compacted_config.api # => 'google.com'
compacted_config.enabled # => true

instantiation without class definition

config = Qonfig::Compacted.build do
  setting :api, 'google.ru'
  setting :enabled, true
end

config.api # => 'google.ru'
config.enabled # => true

validation API (see full documentation):

# custom validators
Qonfig::Compacted.define_validator(:version_check) do |value|
  value.is_a?(Integer) && value < 100
end

class Config < Qonfig::Compacted
  setting :api, 'google.ru'
  setting :enabled, true
  setting :version, 2
  setting :queue { setting :engine, :sidekiq }

  # full support of original validation api
  validate :api, :string, strict: true
  validate :enabled, :boolean, strict: true
  validate :version, :version_check # custom validator
  validate 'queue.#', :symbol
end

# potential values validation
Config.valid_with?(api: :yandex) # => false
Config.valid_with?(enabled: nil) # => false
Config.valid_with?(version: nil) # => false
Config.valid_with?(api: 'yandex.ru', enabled: false, version: 3) # => true

# instance validation
config.api = :yandex # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a type of string)
config.version = nil # => Qonfig::ValidationError (can not be nil)
config.queue.engine = 'sneakers' # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a type of symbol)

Setting readers and writers

class Config < Qonfig::Compcated
  setting :api, 'google.ru'
  setting :enabled, true
  setting :queue do
    setting :engine, :sidekiq
    setting :workers_count, 10
  end
end

config.api # => 'google.ru'
config.enabled # => true
config.queue.engine # => :sidekiq
config.queue.workers_count # => 10

config[:api] # => 'google.ru'
config['enabled'] # => true
config[:queue][:engine] # => :sidekiq

config['api'] = 'yandex.ru'
config['queue.engine'] = :sidekiq
config[:queue][:workers_count] = 5

predicates (see full documentation)

Interaction

Iteration over setting keys (#each_setting, #deep_each_setting)
List of config keys (#keys, #root_keys)
Config reloading (reload config definitions and option values)
Clear options (set to nil)
Frozen state (.freeze_state!, #freeze!, #frozen?)
Settings as Predicates
Setting key existence (#key?/#option?/#setting?)
Run arbitrary code with temporary settings

Iteration over setting keys

#each_setting { |key, value| }
- iterates over the root setting keys;
#deep_each_setting(yield_all: false) { |key, value| }
- iterates over all setting keys (deep inside);
- key object is represented as a string of .-joined setting key names;
- yield_all: means "yield all config objects" (end values and root setting objects those have nested settings) (false by default);

List of config keys

#keys - returns a list of all config keys in dot-notation format;
- all_variants: - get all possible variants of the config's keys sequences (false by default);
- only_root: - get only the root config keys (false by default);
#root_keys - returns a list of root config keys (an alias for #keys(only_root: true));

config.reload!(db: { adapter: 'oracle' }) do |conf|
  conf.enable_api = true # changed instantly
end

config.settings.db.adapter # => 'oracle'
config.settings.logger = # => #<Logger:0x00007ff9>
config.settings.enable_api # => true # value from instant change

Clear options

set all config's settings to nil;
method signature: #clear!;

class Config
  setting :database do
    setting :user
    setting :password
  end

  setting :web_api do
    setting :endpoint
  end
end

config = Config.new do |conf|
  conf.database.user = '0exp'
  conf.database.password = 'test123'

  conf.web_api.endpoint = '/api/'
end

config.settings.database.user # => '0exp'
config.settings.database.password # => 'test123'
config.settings.web_api.endpoint # => '/api'

# clear all options
config.clear!

config.settings.database.user # => nil
config.settings.database.password # => nil
config.settings.web_api.endpoint # => nil

Frozen state

Instance-level

method signature: #freeze!;

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :logger, Logger.new(STDOUT)
  setting :worker, :sidekiq
  setting :db do
    setting :adapter, 'postgresql'
  end
end

config = Config.new
config.freeze!

config.settings.logger = Logger.new(StringIO.new) # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError
config.settings.worker = :que # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError
config.settings.db.adapter = 'mongoid' # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError

config.reload! # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError
config.clear! # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError

Definition-level

DSL-method signature: freeze_state!
indicaes that all your config instances should be frozen;
freeze_state! DSL command is not inherited (your child and composed config classes will not have this declaration);

# --- base class ---
class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :test, true
  freeze_state!
end

config = Config.new
config.frozen? # => true
config.settings.test = false # => Qonfig::FrozenSettingsError

# --- child class ---
class InheritedConfig < Config
end

inherited_config = InheritedConfig.new
config.frozen? # => false
config.settings.test = false # ok :)

Settings as Predicates

predicate form: ? at the end of setting name;
nil and false setting values indicates false;
other setting values indicates true;
setting roots always returns true;

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :database do
    setting :user
    setting :host, 'google.com'

    setting :engine do
      setting :driver, 'postgres'
    end
  end
end

config = Config.new

# predicates
config.settings.database.user? # => false (nil => false)
config.settings.database.host? # => true ('google.com' => true)
config.settings.database.engine.driver? # => true ('postgres' => true)

# setting roots always returns true
config.settings.database? # => true
config.settings.database.engine? # => ture

config.configure do |conf|
  conf.database.user = '0exp'
  conf.database.host = false
  conf.database.engine.driver = true
end

# predicates
config.settings.database.user? # => true ('0exp' => true)
config.settings.database.host? # => false (false => false)
config.settings.database.engine.driver? # => true (true => true)

Setting key existence

supports dynamic array-like format and canonical dot-notation format;
returns true if the concrete key is exist;
returns false if the concrete key does not exist;
dynamic array-like format:
- #key?(*key_path) / #option?(*key_path) / #setting?(*key_path);
- *key_path - an array of symbols and strings that represents a path to the concrete setting key;
- (for example, config.key?(:credentials, :user) tries to check that config.settings.credentials.user is exist);
dot-notation format:
- #key?(key) / #option?(key) / #setting?(key);
- key - string in dot-notated format
- (for example: config.key?('credentials.user') tries to check that config.settings.crednetials.user is exist);

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :credentials do
    setting :user, 'D@iVeR'
    setting :password, 'test123'
  end
end

config = Config.new

# --- array-like format ---
config.key?('credentials', 'user') # => true
config.key?('credentials', 'token') # => false (key does not exist)

# --- dot-notation format ---
config.key?('credentials.user') # => true
config.key?('credentials.token') # => false (key does not exist)

config.key?('credentials') # => true
config.key?('que_adapter') # => false (key does not exist)

# aliases
config.setting?('credentials') # => true
config.option?(:credentials, :password) # => true
config.option?('credentials.password') # => true

Run arbitrary code with temporary settings

provides a way to run an arbitrary code with temporarily specified settings;
your arbitrary code can temporary change any setting too - all settings will be returned to the original state;
(it is convenient to run code samples by this way in tests (with substitued configs));
it is fully thread-safe :);

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :queue do
    setting :adapter, :sidekiq
    setting :options, {}
  end
end

config = Config.new

# run a block of code with temporary queue.adapter setting
config.with(queue: { adapter: 'que' }) do
  # your changed settings
  config.settings.queue.adapter # => 'que'

  # you can temporary change settings by your code too
  config.settings.queue.options = { concurrency: 10 }

  # ...your another code...
end

# original settings has not changed :)
config.settings.queue.adapter # => :sidekiq
config.settings.queue.options # => {}

Import settings / Export settings

Import config settings (as instance methods)
Export config settings (as singleton methods)

Sometimes the nesting of configs in your project is quite high, and it makes you write the rather "cumbersome" code (config.settings.web_api.credentials.account.auth_token for example). Frequent access to configs in this way is inconvinient - so developers wraps such code by methods or variables. In order to make developer's life easer Qonfig provides a special Import API simplifies the config importing (gives you .import_settings DSL) and gives an ability to instant config setting export from a config object (gives you #export_settings config's method).

You can use RabbitMQ-like pattern matching in setting key names:

if the setting key name at the current nesting level does not matter - use *;
if both the setting key name and nesting level does not matter - use #
examples:
- db.settings.user - matches to db.settings.user setting;
- db.settings.* - matches to all setting keys inside db.settings group of settings;
- db.*.user - matches to all user setting keys at the first level of db group of settings;
- #.user - matches to all user setting keys;
- service.#.password - matches to all password setting keys at all levels of service group of settings;
- # - matches to ALL setting keys;
- * - matches to all setting keys at the root level;
- and etc;

Import config settings

Qonfig::Imports - a special mixin that provides the convenient DSL to work with config import features (.import_settings method);
.import_settings - DSL method for importing configuration settings (from a config instance) as instance methods of a class;
(IMPORTANT) import_settings imports config settings as access methods to config's settings (creates attr_readers for your config);
generated methods can be used as predicates (with trailing ? symbol);
you can generate attr_accessors by specifying accessor: true option (be careful: you can get Qonfig::AmbiguousSettingValueError when you try to assign a value to config option which have nested settings);
signature: .import_settings(config_object, *setting_keys, mappings: {}, prefix: '', raw: false)
- config_object - an instance of Qonfig::DataSet whose config settings should be imported;
- *setting_keys - an array of dot-notaed config's setting keys that should be imported (dot-notaed key is a key that describes each part of nested setting key as a string separated by dot-symbol);
  - last part of dot-notated key will become a name of the setting access instance method;
- mappings: - a map of keys that describes custom method names for each imported setting;
- prefix: - prexifies setting access method name with custom prefix;
- raw: - use nested settings as objects or hashify them (false by default (means "hashify nested settings"));
- accessor: - generate attr_accessor for imported config settigns (false by default (means "generate attr_readers only"));

Suppose we have a config with deeply nested keys:

# NOTE: (Qonfig::DataSet.build creates a class and instantly instantiates it)
AppConfig = Qonfig::DataSet.build do
  setting :web_api do
    setting :credentials do
      setting :account do
        setting :login, 'DaiveR'
        setting :auth_token, 'IAdkoa0@()1239uA'
      end
    end
  end

  setting :graphql_api, false
end

Let's see what we can to do :)

Import a set of setting keys (simple dot-noated key list)
Import with custom method names (mappings)
Prexify method name
Import nested settings as raw Qonfig::Settings objects
Import with pattern-matching
Support for predicate-like methods

Import a set of setting keys (simple dot-noated key list)

last part of dot-notated key will become a name of the setting access instance method;

class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig,
    'web_api.credentials.account.login',
    'web_api.credentials.account'
  )
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.login # => "D@iVeR"
service.account # => { "login" => "D@iVeR", "auth_token" => IAdkoa0@()1239uA" }

Import with custom method names (mappings)

mappings: defines a map of keys that describes custom method names for each imported setting;

class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig, mappings: {
    account_data: 'web_api.credentials.account', # NOTE: name access method with "account_data"
    secret_token: 'web_api.credentials.account.auth_token' # NOTE: name access method with "secret_token"
  })
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.account_data # => { "login" => "D@iVeR", "auth_token" => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA" }
service.auth_token # => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA"

Prexify method name

prefix: - prexifies setting access method name with custom prefix;

class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig,
    'web_api.credentials.account',
    mappings: { secret_token: 'web_api.credentials.account.auth_token' },
    prefix: 'config_'
  )
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.config_account # => { login" => "D@iVeR", "auth_token" => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA" }
service.config_secret_token # => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA"

Support for predicate-like methods

generated methods can be used as predicates (with trailing ? symbol);

class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig,
    'web_api.credentials.account',
    mappings: { secret_token: 'web_api.credentials.account.auth_token' },
  )
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.account? # => true
service.secret_token? # => true

Import nested settings as raw Qonfig::Settings objects

raw: false is used by default (hashify nested settings)

# NOTE: import nested settings as raw objects (raw: true)
class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig, 'web_api.credentials', raw: true)
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.credentials # => <Qonfig::Settings:0x00007ff8>
service.credentials.account.login # => "D@iVeR"
service.credentials.account.auth_token # => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA"

# NOTE: import nested settings as converted-to-hash objects (raw: false) (default behavior)
class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  import_settings(AppConfig, 'web_api.credentials', raw: false)
end

service = ServiceObject.new

service.credentials # => { "account" => { "login" => "D@iVeR", "auth_token" => "IAdkoa0@()1239uA"} }

Import with pattern-matching

import root keys only: import_settings(config_object, '*');
import all keys: import_settings(config_object, '#');
import the subset of keys: import_settings(config_object, 'group.*.group.#') (pattern-mathcing usage);

class ServiceObject
  include Qonfig::Imports

  # import all settings from web_api.credentials subset
  import_settings(AppConfig, 'web_api.credentials.#')
  # generated instance methods:
  #   => service.account
  #   => service.login
  #   => service.auth_token

  # import only the root keys from web_api.credentials.account subset
  import_settings(AppConfig, 'web_api.credentials.account.*')
  # generated instance methods:
  #   => service.login
  #   => service.auth_token

  # import only the root keys
  import_settings(AppConfig, '*')
  # generated instance methods:
  #   => service.web_api
  #   => service.graphql_api

  # import ALL keys
  import_settings(AppConfig, '#')
  # generated instance methods:
  #   => service.web_api
  #   => service.credentials
  #   => service.account
  #   => service.login
  #   => service.auth_token
  #   => service.graphql_api
end

Export config settings

works in .import_settings manner doc (see examples and documentation above :))
all config objects can export their settings to an arbitrary object as singleton methods;
(IMPORTANT) export_settings exports config settings as access methods to config's settings (creates attr_readers for your config);
generated methods can be used as predicates (with trailing ? symbol);
you can generate attr_accessors by specifying accessor: true option (be careful: you can get Qonfig::AmbiguousSettingValueError when you try to assign a value to config option which have nested settings);
signature: #export_settings(exportable_object, *setting_keys, mappings: {}, prefix: '', raw: false):
- exportable_object - an arbitrary object for exporting;
- *setting_keys - an array of dot-notaed config's setting keys that should be exported (dot-notaed key is a key that describes each part of nested setting key as a string separated by dot-symbol);
  - last part of dot-notated key will become a name of the setting access instance method;
- mappings: - a map of keys that describes custom method names for each exported setting;

Validation

Introduction
Key Search Pattern
Proc-based validation
Method-based validation
Predefined validations
Custom predefined validators
Validation of potential setting values

Introduction

Qonfig provides a lightweight DSL for defining validations and works in all cases when setting values are initialized or mutated. Settings are validated as keys (matched with a specific string pattern). You can validate both a set of keys and each key separately. If you want to check the config object completely you can define a custom validation.

Features:

validation is invoked on any mutation of any setting:
- during dataset instantiation;
- when assigning new values;
- when calling #reload!;
- when calling #clear!;
provides strict and non-strict behavior (strict: true and strict: false respectively):
- strict: false ignores validations for settings with nil (allows nil value);
- strict: true does not ignores validations for settings with nil;
- strict: false is used by default;
provides a special key search pattern for matching setting key names;
you can validate potential setting values without any assignment (documentation)
uses the key search pattern for definging what the setting key should be validated;
you can define your own custom validation logic and validate dataset instance completely;
validation logic should return truthy or falsy value;

supprots two validation techniques (proc-based (documentation) and dataset-method-based (documentation)):

proc-based (setting validation) (documentation)

  validate('db.user', strict: true) do |value|
    value.is_a?(String)
  end

proc-based (dataset validation) (doc)

  validate(strict: false) do
    settings.user == User[1]
  end

dataset-method-based (setting validation) (documentation)

  validate 'db.user', by: :check_user, strict: true

  def check_user(value)
    value.is_a?(String)
  end

dataset-method-based (dataset validation) (documentation)

  validate by: :check_config, strict: false

  def check_config
    settings.user == User[1]
  end

provides a set of standard validations (documentation):
- DSL: validate 'key.pattern', :predefned_validator;
- supports strict behavior;
you can define your own predefined validators (class-related and global-related) (documentation);

Key search pattern

Key search pattern works according to the following rules:

works in RabbitMQ-like key pattern ruleses;
has a string format;
nested configs are defined by a set of keys separated by .-symbol;
if the setting key name at the current nesting level does not matter - use *;
if both the setting key name and nesting level does not matter - use #
examples:
- db.settings.user - matches to db.settings.user setting;
- db.settings.* - matches to all setting keys inside db.settings group of settings;
- db.*.user - matches to all user setting keys at the first level of db group of settings;
- #.user - matches to all user setting keys;
- service.#.password - matches to all password setting keys at all levels of service group of settings;
- # - matches to ALL setting keys;
- * - matches to all setting keys at the root level;
- and etc;

Proc-based validation

your proc should return truthy value or falsy value;
nil values are ignored by default;
set strict: true to disable nil ignorance (strict: false is used by default);
how to validate setting keys:
- define proc with attribute: validate 'your.setting.path' do |value|; end
- proc will receive setting value;
how to validate dataset instance:
- define proc without setting key pattern: validate do; end;

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :db do
    setting :user, 'D@iVeR'
    setting :password, 'test123'
  end

  setting :service do
    setting :address, 'google.ru'
    setting :protocol, 'https'

    setting :creds do
      seting :admin, 'D@iVeR'
    end
  end

  setting :enabled, false
  setting :token, '1a2a3a', strict: true

  # validates:
  #   - db.password
  validate 'db.password' do |value|
    value.is_a?(String)
  end

  # validates:
  #   - service.address
  #   - service.protocol
  #   - service.creds.user
  validate 'service.#' do |value|
    value.is_a?(String)
  end

  # validates:
  #   - dataset instance
  validate do # NOTE: no setting key pattern
    settings.enabled == false
  end

  # do not ignore `nil` (strict: true)
  validate(:token, strict: true) do
    value.is_a?(String)
  end
end

config = Config.new
config.settings.db.password = 123 # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a string)
config.settings.service.address = 123 # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a string)
config.settings.service.protocol = :http # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a string)
config.settings.service.creds.admin = :billikota # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a string)
config.settings.enabled = true # => Qonfig::ValidationError (isnt `true`)

config.settings.db.password = nil # ok, nil is ignored (non-strict behavior)
config.settings.token = nil # => Qonfig::ValidationError (nil is not ignored, strict behavior) (should be a type of string)

Method-based validation

method should return truthy value or falsy value;
nil values are ignored by default;
set strict: true to disable nil ignorance (strict: false is used by default);
how to validate setting keys:
- define validation: validate 'db.*.user', by: :your_custom_method;
- define your method with attribute: def your_custom_method(setting_value); end
how to validate config instance
- define validation: validate by: :your_custom_method
- define your method without attributes: def your_custom_method; end

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :services do
    setting :counts do
      setting :google, 2
      setting :rambler, 3
    end

    setting :minimals do
      setting :google, 1
      setting :rambler, 0
    end
  end

  setting :enabled, true
  setting :timeout, 12345, strict: true

  # validates:
  #   - services.counts.google
  #   - services.counts.rambler
  #   - services.minimals.google
  #   - services.minimals.rambler
  validate 'services.#', by: :check_presence

  # validates:
  #   - dataset instance
  validate by: :check_state # NOTE: no setting key pattern

  # do not ignore `nil` (strict: true)
  validate :timeout, strict: true, by: :check_timeout

  def check_presence(value)
    value.is_a?(Numeric) && value > 0
  end

  def check_state
    settings.enabled.is_a?(TrueClass) || settings.enabled.is_a?(FalseClass)
  end

  def check_timeout(value)
    value.is_a?(Numeric)
  end
end

config = Config.new

config.settings.counts.google = 0 # => Qonfig::ValidationError (< 0)
config.settings.minimals.google = -1 # => Qonfig::ValidationError (< 0)
config.settings.minimals.rambler = 'no' # => Qonfig::ValidationError (should be a numeric)

config.settings.counts.rambler = nil # ok, nil is ignored (default non-strict behavior)
config.settings.enabled = nil # ok, nil is ignored (default non-strict behavior)
config.settings.timeout = nil # => Qonfig::ValidationError (nil is not ignored, strict behavior) (should be a type of numeric)

Predefined validations

DSL: validate 'key.pattern', :predefned_validator
nil values are ignored by default;
set strict: true to disable nil ignorance (strict: false is used by default);
predefined validators:
- :not_nil
- :integer
- :float
- :numeric
- :big_decimal
- :array
- :hash
- :string
- :symbol
- :text (string or symbol)
- :boolean
- :class
- :module
- :proc

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :user, 'empty'
  setting :password, 'empty'

  setting :service do
    setting :provider, :empty
    setting :protocol, :empty
    setting :on_fail, -> { puts 'atata!' }
  end

  setting :ignorance, false

  validate 'user', :string
  validate 'password', :string
  validate 'service.provider', :text
  validate 'service.protocol', :text
  validate 'service.on_fail', :proc
  validate 'ignorance', :not_nil
end

config = Config.new do |conf|
  conf.user = 'D@iVeR'
  conf.password = 'test123'
  conf.service.provider = :google
  conf.service.protocol = :https
end # NOTE: all right :)

config.settings.ignorance = nil # => Qonfig::ValidationError (cant be nil)

Custom predefined validators

DSL: .define_validator(name, &validation) { |value| ... } - create your own predefined validator;
class-level: define validators related only to the concrete config class;
global-level: define validators related to all config classes (Qonfig::DataSet.define_validator);
you can re-define any global and inherited validator (at class level);
you can re-define any already registered global validator on Qonfig::DataSet (at global-level);

Define your own class-level validator

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  # NOTE: definition
  define_validator(:user_type) { |value| value.is_a?(User) }

  setting :admin # some key

  # NOTE: usage
  validate :admin, :user_type
end

Define new global validator

Qonfig::DataSet.define_validator(:secured_value) do |value|
  value == '***'
end

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :password
  validate :password, :secured_value
end

Re-definition of existing validators in child classes

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  # NOTE: redefine existing :text validator only in Config class
  define_validator(:text) { |value| value.is_a?(String) }

  # NOTE: some custom validator that can be redefined in child classes
  define_validator(:user) { |value| value.is_a?(User) }
end

class SubConfig < Qonfig
  define_validator(:user) { |value| value.is_a?(AdminUser) } # NOTE: redefine inherited :user validator
end

Re-definition of existing global validators

# NOTE: redefine already existing :numeric validator
Qonfig::DataSet.define_validator(:numeric) do |value|
  value.is_a?(Numeric) || (value.is_a?(String) && value.match?(/\A\d+\.*\d+\z/))
end

Validation of potential setting values

(instance-level) #valid_with?(setting_values = {}, &configuration) - check that current config instalce will be valid with passed configurations;
(class-level) .valid_with?(setting_values = {}, &configuration) - check that potential config instancess will be valid with passed configurations;
makes no assignments;

#valid_with? (instance-level)

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :enabled, false
  setting :queue do
    setting :adapter, 'sidekiq'
  end

  validate :enabled, :boolean
  validate 'queue.adapter', :string
end

config = Config.new

config.valid_with?(enabled: true, queue: { adapter: 'que' }) # => true
config.valid_with?(enabled: 123) # => false (should be a type of boolean)
config.valid_with?(enabled: true, queue: { adapter: Sidekiq }) # => false (queue.adapter should be a type of string)

# do-config notation is supported too
config.valid_with?(enabled: true) do |conf|
  conf.queue.adapter = :sidekiq
end
# => false (queue.adapter should be a type of string)

.valid_with? (class-level)

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :enabled, false
  setting :queue do
    setting :adapter, 'sidekiq'
  end

  validate :enabled, :boolean
  validate 'queue.adapter', :string
end

Config.valid_with?(enabled: true, queue: { adapter: 'que' }) # => true
Config.valid_with?(enabled: 123) # => false (should be a type of boolean)
Config.valid_with?(enabled: true, queue: { adapter: Sidekiq }) # => false (queue.adapter should be a type of string)

# do-config notation is supported too
Config.valid_with?(enabled: true) do |config|
  config.queue.adapter = :sidekiq
end
# => false (queue.adapter should be a type of string)

Work with files

Setting keys definition
- Load from YAML file

Load from YAML file

supports ERB;
:strict mode (fail behaviour when the required yaml file doesnt exist):
- true (by default) - causes Qonfig::FileNotFoundError;
- false - do nothing, ignore current command;
:replace_on_merge - whether the setting should be replaced on the key conflict, otherwise, it will be deep merged (default);

Expose YAML

load configurations from YAML file in Rails-like manner (with environments);
works in load_from_yaml manner;
via: - how an environment will be determined:
- :file_name
  - load configuration from YAML file that have an :env part in it's name;
- :env_key
  - load configuration from YAML file;
  - concrete configuration should be defined in the root key with :env name;
env: - your environment name (must be a type of String, Symbol or Numeric);
strict: - requires the existence of the file and/or key with the name of the used environment:
- true:
  - file should exist;
  - root key with :env name should exist (if via: :env_key is used);
  - raises Qonfig::ExposeError if file does not contain the required env key (if via: :env key is used);
  - raises Qonfig::FileNotFoundError if the required file does not exist;
- false:
  - file is not required;
  - root key with :env name is not required (if via: :env_key is used);
:replace_on_merge - whether the setting should be replaced on the key conflict, otherwise, it will be deep merged (default);

Environment is defined as a root key of YAML file

Default setting values file

defines a file that should be used for setting values initialization for your config object;
.values_file(file_path, format: :dynamic, strict: false, expose: nil)
- file_path - full file path or :self (:self menas "load setting values from END data");
- :format - defines the format of file (:dynamic means "try to automatically infer the file format") (:dynamic by default);
  - supports :yaml, :json, :toml (via Qonfig.plugin(:toml)), :dynamic (automatic format detection);
- :strict - rerquires that file (or END-data) should exist (false by default);
- :expose - what the environment-based subset of keys should be used (nil means "do not use any subset of keys") (nil by default);
extra keys that does not exist in your config will cause an exception Qonfig::SettingNotFound respectively;
initial values will be rewritten by values defined in your file;

Load setting values from file manually (by instance)

prvoides an ability to load predefined setting values from a file;
works in instance-based #load_from_yaml / #load_from_json / #load_from_self manner;
signature: #load_from_file(file_path, format: :dynamic, strict: true, expose: nil, &configurations):
- file_path - full file path or :self (:self means "load setting values from END data");
- :format - defines the format of file (:dynamic means "try to automatically infer the file format") (:dynamic by default);
  - supports :yaml, :json, :toml (via Qonfig.plugin(:toml)), :dynamic (automatic format detection);
- :strict - rerquires that file (or END-data) should exist (true by default);
- :expose - what the environment-based subset of keys should be used (nil means "do not use any subset of keys") (nil by default);
- &configurations - do |config| ability :)
see examples for instance-based #load_from_yaml (doc) / #load_from_json (doc) / #load_from_self (doc);

Save to JSON file

#save_to_json - represents config object as a json structure and saves it to a file:
- uses native ::JSON.generate under the hood;
- writes new file (or rewrites existing file);
- attributes:
  - :path - (required) - file path;
  - :options - (optional) - native ::JSON.generate options (from stdlib):
    - :indent - " " by default;
    - :space - " " by default/
    - :object_nl - "\n" by default;
  - &value_preprocessor - (optional) - value pre-processor;

Without value preprocessing (standard usage)

class AppConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :server do
    setting :address, 'localhost'
    setting :port, 12_345
  end

  setting :enabled, true
end

config = AppConfig.new

# NOTE: save to json file
config.save_to_json(path: 'config.json')

{
 "sentry": {
  "address": "localhost",
  "port": 12345
 },
 "enabled": true
}

With value preprocessing and custom options

class AppConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :server do
    setting :address, 'localhost'
    setting :port, 12_345
  end

  setting :enabled, true
  setting :dynamic, -> { 1 + 2 }
end

config = AppConfig.new

# NOTE: save to json file with custom options (no spaces / no new line / no indent; call procs)
config.save_to_json(path: 'config.json', options: { indent: '', space: '', object_nl: '' }) do |value|
  value.is_a?(Proc) ? value.call : value
end

// no spaces / no new line / no indent / calculated "dynamic" setting key
{"sentry":{"address":"localhost","port":12345},"enabled":true,"dynamic":3}

Save to YAML file

#save_to_yaml - represents config object as a yaml structure and saves it to a file:
- uses native ::Psych.dump under the hood;
- writes new file (or rewrites existing file);
- attributes:
  - :path - (required) - file path;
  - :options - (optional) - native ::Psych.dump options (from stdlib):
    - :indentation - 2 by default;
    - :line_width - -1 by default;
    - :canonical - false by default;
    - :header - false by default;
    - :symbolize_keys - (non-native option) - false by default;
  - &value_preprocessor - (optional) - value pre-processor;

Without value preprocessing (standard usage)

class AppConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :server do
    setting :address, 'localhost'
    setting :port, 12_345
  end

  setting :enabled, true
end

config = AppConfig.new

# NOTE: save to yaml file
config.save_to_yaml(path: 'config.yml')

---
server:
  address: localhost
  port: 12345
enabled: true

With value preprocessing and custom options

class AppConfig < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :server do
    setting :address, 'localhost'
    setting :port, 12_345
  end

  setting :enabled, true
  setting :dynamic, -> { 5 + 5 }
end

config = AppConfig.new

# NOTE: save to yaml file with custom options (add yaml version header; call procs)
config.save_to_yaml(path: 'config.yml', options: { header: true }) do |value|
  value.is_a?(Proc) ? value.call : value
end

# yaml version header / calculated "dynamic" setting key
%YAML 1.1
---
server:
  address: localhost
  port: 12345
enabled: true
dynamic: 10

Usage

show available plugins:

Qonfig.plugins # => ["pretty_print", "toml", ..., ...]

load specific plugin:

Qonfig.plugin(:pretty_print) # or Qonfig.plugin('pretty_print')
# -- or --
Qonfig.enable(:pretty_print) # or Qonfig.enable('pretty_print')
# -- or --

Plugins: toml

Qonfig.plugin(:toml)
adds support for toml format (specification);
depends on toml-rb gem (link) (tested on >= 2.0);
supports TOML 0.5.0 format (dependency lock) (toml-rb >= 2.0);
provides .load_from_toml (works in .load_from_yaml manner (doc));
provides .expose_toml (works in .expose_yaml manner (doc));
provides #save_to_toml (works in #save_to_yaml manner (doc)) (toml-rb has no native options);
provides format: :toml for .values_file (doc);
provides #load_from_toml (work in #load_from_yaml manner (doc));

# 1) require external dependency
require 'toml-rb'

# 2) enable plugin
Qonfig.plugin(:toml)

# 3) use toml :)

Plugins: pretty_print

Qonfig.plugin(:pretty_print)
gives you really comfortable and beautiful console output;
represents all setting keys in dot-notation format;

Example:

class Config < Qonfig::DataSet
  setting :api do
    setting :domain, 'google.ru'
    setting :creds do
      setting :account, 'D@iVeR'
      setting :password, 'test123'
    end
  end

  setting :log_requests, true
  setting :use_proxy, true
end

config = Config.new

Roadmap

General:
- documentation rework;
Major:
- support for Rails-like secrets;
- support for persistent data storages (we want to store configs in multiple databases and files);
- rails plugin;
- support for pattern matching;
- support for type checking (via rbs, typeprof, steep);
- console utilities;
Minor:
- An ability to flag Qonfig::Configurable's config object as compacted (Qonfig::Compacted);
- Instance-based behavior for Vault plugin, also use instance of Vault client instead of Singleton;
- External validation class with an importing api for better custom validations;
- Setting value changement trace (in anyway_config manner);
- Instantiation and reloading callbacks;
- File geneartors (.rb-files with a pre-filled code (and (maybe) with a pre-generated yaml/json/etc files));
- Setting value changement subscriptions and callbacks;
