Configuration management for MoaT applications

Configuration management

% start main % start synopsis

This module provides infrastructure for loading, merging, and managing configuration data from multiple sources. It includes:

• Multi-source configuration loading (files, environment, programmatic)
• Hierarchical configuration with automatic merging
• Context-aware configuration access
• Configuration inheritance with $base references
• Lazy loading of module-specific configurations

% end synopsis

% end main

Usage

from moat.lib.config import CFG

# Initial setup (once, at program startup)
CFG(name="myapp")
# loads `/etc/myapp.yaml` (and others)

# Access configuration data
print(CFG.database.host)

Configuration Sources

The CfgStore class combines configuration from multiple sources (in order of precedence):

• Command-line arguments (via mod method)
• Preloaded configuration (passed to constructor)
• Environment variables (in CfgStore.env)
• Explicitly added config files (via add method)
• Default config files (from standard paths)
• Static module configurations (loaded via with_)
