Configula

Creates a single configuration by merging settings defined in: 1. in environment variables 2. in toml file

Values provided in environment variables have priority over values from toml configuration file.

By default all environment variables are prefixed with 'PAPERMERGE'. By default __ (two underscores) is used as delimiter in environment variables names. For example, given following toml file:

[main]
secret_key = 1234
[ocr]
default_language = 'deu'

corespondent environment variables names are PAPERMERGE__MAIN__SECRET_KEY and PAPERMERGE__OCR__DEFAULT_LANGUAGE - notice two underscores separate section name from prefix and variable name. Environment variable name format is (all in uppercase):

 <prefix><delimiter><section_name><delimiter><variable_name>

Although in toml files you can place variable names outside sections, in Papermerge all variables must be placed in sections.

By default Configula looks up for following toml file:

• /etc/papermerge/papermerge.toml
• /etc/papermerge.toml
• papermerge.toml

If you have custom location (or custom file name), use PAPERMERGE__CONFIG (notice double underscores) environment variable to point to it:

PAPERMERGE__CONFIG=/app/config/pm.toml

Installation

$ poetry add configula

Usage

from configula import Configula

config = Configula()

default_language = config.get('ocr', 'default_language')
secret_key = config.get('main', 'secret_key')

Where papermerge.toml has the following content:

[main]
secret_key = 5432

[ocr]
default_language = 'deu'

Default language can be overwritten by environment variable PAPERMERGE__OCR__DEFAULT_LANGUAGE and secret_key can overwritten by environment variable PAPERMERGE__MAIN__SECRET_KEY

If you want to read variable from a section use configula.get(section, var_name, default_value) method.
