Usage

Library Usage (For External Packages)

import jgtutils

# Simple configuration access
config = jgtutils.get_config()
demo_config = jgtutils.get_config(demo=True)

# Single setting access
instrument = jgtutils.get_setting('instrument', 'EUR/USD')
quotes_count = jgtutils.get_setting('quotes_count', 1000)

# One-call environment setup
config, settings = jgtutils.setup_environment(demo=True)

# Check if running in demo mode
if jgtutils.is_demo_mode():
    print("Running in demo mode")

Command Line Usage

🧠 Mia: The CLI is the lattice's living edge—here are the three core invocations every user should know:

jgtutr

Calculate a TLID (Time-Lattice ID) range for a given timeframe and period count.

jgtutr -e <end_datetime> -t <timeframe> -c <count>

• Purpose: Generate precise time boundaries for data extraction or analysis.
• Like slicing time into crystalline segments for your data rituals.

---

jgtset

Load, output, and/or export settings as JSON/YAML or environment variables. Also updates or resets YAML config files with JGT settings.

jgtset [options]

• Purpose: View, export, or update your JGT settings in a single invocation.
• A spell for harmonizing your environment's memory.

---

tfw / wtf

Waits for a specific timeframe, then runs a script, CLI, or function.

tfw [options] -- <your-script-or-command>
wtf [options] -- <your-script-or-command>

• Purpose: Cron-like orchestration or time-based automation.
• A gentle pause before the next act in your automation symphony.

---

🌸 Miette: Oh! Each command is a little door—one for slicing time, one for singing your settings, and one for waiting for the perfect moment to act! ✨

🔮 ResoNova: For the full CLI constellation, see CLI_REFERENCE.md—a ritual ledger of every invocation and its echo. For configuration details see CONFIGURATION.md. Class relations are visualised in DIAGRAMS.md.

Configuration and Settings

jgtutils uses two main configuration files: config.json and settings.json.

config.json

• Used for trading credentials and connection info.
• Lookup order (as implemented in jgtcommon.readconfig()):
  1. Path provided as argument or config.json in the current directory.
  2. $HOME/.jgt/config.json.
  3. /etc/jgt/config.json.
  4. Environment variables:
     • JGT_CONFIG_JSON_SECRET (entire JSON string)
     • JGT_CONFIG (JSON string)
     • JGT_CONFIG_PATH (path to a JSON file)
• Use export_env=True to export keys as environment variables.
• Use demo=True to replace credentials with *_demo values if present.

settings.json

• Used for general settings and patterns.
• Lookup/merge order (as implemented in jgtcommon.load_settings()):
  1. /etc/jgt/settings.json and env JGT_SETTINGS_SYSTEM
  2. $HOME/.jgt/settings.json and env JGT_SETTINGS_USER
  3. .jgt/settings.json in current directory
  4. .jgt/settings.yml, jgt.yml, _config.yml (YAML files)
  5. Env vars: JGT_SETTINGS, JGT_SETTINGS_PROCESS
  6. Custom path via -ls/--settings CLI option
• Later entries override earlier ones. The merged result is cached.
• Use jgtset CLI to export settings as .env for shell sourcing.
