This library supports Python version 3.7+.
To check library main features you can check Hierarchical Conf's Documentation, which is hosted by Read the Docs.
How to use
Short
An example of how to use the library getting configurations:
from hierarchical_conf.hierarchical_conf import HierarchicalConf
hierarchical_conf = HierarchicalConf(searched_paths=[PROJECT_ROOT])
my_config = hierarchical_conf.get_config("my_config_key")
Long
This tool retrieve the configurations from (YAML) files according to the current environment and files precedence.
It receives a list of paths and searches each one for environment configuration files in an orderly
fashion, loading them when found and overwriting duplicated configuration keys by the value of the key
available in the file loaded at last.
The YAML configuration files are expected to be named with prefixes based on the working environment,
retrieved by the value of a pre-existent operational system environment's variable named ENVIRONMENT
.
E.g.: Given the respective environments dev
and production
configuration files below:
dev_conf.yml:
foo: bar_dev
foo2: bar_dev2
production_conf.yml:
foo: bar_prod
foo2: bar_prod2
and given we are at development environment (ENVIRONMENT=dev
), the following code will load the
configuration file from the development environment file (/my_path/dev_conf.yml
).
hconf = HierarchicalConf(conf_files_paths=['/my_path/'])
foo_conf = hconf.get_config("foo")
print(foo_conf)
# prints: bar_dev
Given ENVIRONMENT=production
, the code above will load the configuration file from
the production environment file (/my_path/production_conf.yml
) and print: bar_prod
.
