configuration parser.
### installation
```sh
$ pip install kaptan
```
or add kaptan directory to the your path.
### usage ###
**supported handlers**
- dict
- json
- yaml
- .ini
- python file
**default (dict) handler**
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan()
config.import_config({
'environment': 'DEV',
'redis_uri': 'redis://localhost:6379/0',
'debug': False,
'pagination': {
'per_page': 10,
'limit': 20,
}
})
print config.get("pagination.limit")
# output: 20
```
**json handler**
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan(handler="json")
config.import_config('{"everything": 42}')
print config.get("everything")
# output: 42
```
**yaml handler**
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan()
config.import_config("""
product:
price:
value: 12.65
currency_list:
- TL
- EURO
""")
print config.get("product.price.currency_list.0")
# output: TL
```
or you can get from directly from the filename:
```py
config.import_config("configuration.yaml")
```
**.ini handler**
config.ini
```ini
[development]
database_uri = mysql://root:123456@localhost/posts
[production]
database_uri = mysql://poor_user:poor_password@localhost/poor_posts
```
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan(handler="ini")
config.import_config('config.ini')
print config.get("production.database_uri")
# output: mysql://poor_user:poor_password@localhost/poor_posts
```
**file handler**
config.py
```py
DATABASE = 'mysql://root:123456@localhost/posts'
DEBUG = False
PAGINATION = {
'per_page': 10,
'limit': 20,
}
```
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan(handler="file")
config.import_config('config')
print config.get("DEBUG")
# output: False
```
## exporting configuration
```py
config = kaptan.Kaptan(handler="file")
config.import_config({
'environment': 'DEV',
'redis_uri': 'redis://localhost:6379/0',
'debug': False,
'pagination': {
'per_page': 10,
'limit': 20,
}
})
```
```py
print config.export("yaml")
```
**output**:
```yaml
debug: false
environment: DEV
pagination: {limit: 20, per_page: 10}
redis_uri: redis://localhost:6379/0
```
```py
print config.export("json")
```
output unindented json. ``.export`` accepts kwargs which pass into
[json.dumps](http://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html#json.dump).
```py
print config.export("json", indent=4)
```
**output**:
```json
{
"environment": "DEV",
"debug": false,
"pagination": {
"per_page": 10,
"limit": 20
},
"redis_uri": "redis://localhost:6379/0"
}
```
``config.export('yaml')`` also supports the [kwargs for pyyaml](http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAMLDocumentation#Dumper).
New in Version 0.5.7: ``config.export('yaml', safe=True)`` will use ``.safe_dump``.
## cli
exporting (defaults to json)
```sh
$ echo "environment: DEV" > config.yaml
$ kaptan config.yaml --export json > config.json
$ cat config.json
{"environment": "DEV"}
```
getting a value
```sh
$ kaptan config.yaml --key environment
DEV
```
specifying the handler
```sh
$ mv config.yaml config.settings
$ kaptan config.settings:yaml --export json
{"environment": "DEV"}
```
config from stdin
```sh
$ echo '{"source": "stdin"}' | kaptan -
{"source": "stdin"}
$ echo 'source: stdin' | kaptan -:yaml
{"source": "stdin"}
```
merging configs
```sh
$ echo "environment: PROD" > config.settings
$ echo '{"source": "stdin"}' | kaptan - config.json config.settings:yaml
{"environment": "PROD", "source": "stdin"}
```
setting default handler
```sh
$ echo "source: stdin" | kaptan --handler yaml - config.settings
{"environment": "PROD", "source": "stdin"}
```
writing json with yaml
```sh
$ kaptan -:yaml -e json
<type yaml here>
<Ctrl + D>
<get json here>
```
## running tests
With `py.test`:
```sh
$ py.test tests.py
```
or just:
```sh
$ python -m unittest discover -v
```
