Dataconf

Simple dataclasses configuration management for Python with hocon/json/yaml/properties/env-vars/dict/cli support.

Getting started

Requires at least Python 3.9.

# pypi
pip install dataconf
poetry add dataconf

# remote master
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/zifeo/dataconf.git
poetry add git+https://github.com/zifeo/dataconf.git

# local repo/dev
poetry install
pre-commit install

API

import dataconf

conf = dataconf.string('{ name: Test }', Config)
conf = dataconf.string('name:\n\tvalue: Test', Config, loader=dataconf.YAML)  # dataconf.HOCON by default
conf = dataconf.env('PREFIX_', Config)
conf = dataconf.dict({'name': 'Test'}, Config)
conf = dataconf.url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zifeo/dataconf/master/confs/test.hocon', Config)  # hocon, json, yaml, properties
conf = dataconf.file('confs/test.hocon', Config)  # hocon, json, yaml, properties
conf = dataconf.cli(sys.argv, Config)

# Aggregation
conf = dataconf.multi.string(...).env(...).url(...).file(...).dict(...).cli(...).on(Config)

# Same api as Python json/yaml packages (e.g. `load`, `loads`, `dump`, `dumps`)
conf = dataconf.load('confs/test.hocon', Config)  # hocon, json, yaml, properties
conf = dataconf.load('confs/test.yaml', Config, loader=dataconf.YAML)  # dataconf.HOCON by default
dataconf.dump('confs/test.hocon', conf, out='hocon')
dataconf.dump('confs/test.json', conf, out='json')
dataconf.dump('confs/test.yaml', conf, out='yaml')
dataconf.dump('confs/test.properties', conf, out='properties')

Parse env vars

PREFIX_VAR=a
PREFIX_VAR_NAME=b
PREFIX_TEST__NAME=c
PREFIX_LS_0=d
PREFIX_LS_1=e
PREFIX_LSLS_0_0=f
PREFIX_LSOB_0__NAME=g
PREFIX_NESTED_="{ name: Test }"
PREFIX_SUB_="{ value: ${PREFIX_VAR} }"

is equivalent to

{
    var = a
    var_name = b
    test {
        name = c
    }
    ls = [
        d
        e
    ]
    lsls = [
        [
            f
        ]
    ]
    lsob = [
        {
            name = g
        }
    ]
    nested {
        # parse nested config by suffixing env var with `_`
        name: Test
    }
    sub {
        # will have value "a" at parsing, useful for aliases
        value = ${PREFIX_VAR}
    }
}

Note that when using .env source, the strict mode is disabled and value might be casted.

Parse CLI arguments

Same as env vars parse (dashes are converted to underscore, e.g. TEST_A → --test-a).

CLI usage

Can be used for validation or converting between supported file formats (-o).

dataconf -c confs/test.hocon -m tests.configs -d TestConf -o hocon
# dataconf.exceptions.TypeConfigException: expected type <class 'datetime.timedelta'> at .duration, got <class 'int'>
