Config Manager

tbi-config-manager (0.0.5)

A flexible configuration management library for Python with multiple provider support (Environment, GCP Secret Manager, etc.) and easy extensibility.

Features

• Multiple Provider Support

  • Built-in Environment Variables (.env) support
  • Built-in GCP Secret Manager integration
  • Configurable provider priority
  • Easy to extend with custom providers

• Type Safety & Flexibility

  • Strong typing support
  • Optional value handling
  • Default value support
  • Attribute-style access

• Developer Friendly

  • Simple API
  • Clear error messages
  • Comprehensive logging
  • Easy to test

Installation

$ pip install tbi-config-manager

Prerequisites

• Python >=3.8
• GCP credentials (optional, GCP project Service Account, for Secret Manager support)

How to Use

Basic usage example:

from config_manager import ConfigManager, Provider

# Default to environment variables only
config = ConfigManager()
value = config.get("DATABASE_URL")

# With specific .env file
config = ConfigManager(env_file=".env.dev")

# ENV has higher priority than GCP.
config = ConfigManager(
    providers=[Provider.ENV, Provider.GCP],  
    project_id="your-project-id",
    credentials_path="path/to/credentials.json",
    secret_prefix="APP_"
)

# GCP has higher priority than ENV.
config = ConfigManager(
    providers=[Provider.GCP, Provider.ENV]  
    ...
)

# Only use GCP Secret Manager
config = ConfigManager(
    providers=[Provider.GCP]  
    ...
)

DATABASE_URL = config.get("DATABASE_URL")
...

In your config.py:

from config_manager import ConfigManager, Provider

config = ConfigManager(
    providers=[Provider.ENV, Provider.GCP],  
    project_id="config-manager",
    credentials_path="path/to/credentials.json",
    secret_prefix="PROD_"
)

# Access configs as attributes
DATABASE_URL = config.get("DATABASE_URL")
API_KEY = config.get("API_KEY")
ENV = config.get("ENV", default="dev")
PROVIDER = config.get("PROVIDER", "GCP") # Optional parameter with default

How to Contribute

Setup

git clone https://github.com/TaiwanBigdata/config-manager.git
cd readgen
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
pip install -e .

Implementing Custom Providers

The config-manager library is designed for extensibility. Here's how to implement your own configuration provider:

1. Add New Provider Type

Add your provider type to the enum src/config_manager/typing.py

from enum import Enum

class Provider(Enum):
    """Available configuration provider types"""
    ENV = "env"      # Environment variables
    GCP = "gcp"      # Google Cloud Secret Manager
    REDIS = "redis"  # Your new provider

2. Implement Provider Class

Create your provider implementation under providers directory src/config_manager/providers/redis.py

from config_manager import ConfigProvider
from typing import Optional

# Inherit from the base abstract class ConfigProvider
class RedisProvider(ConfigProvider):
    def __init__(self, redis_url: str, prefix: str = ""):
        self.redis_url = redis_url
        self.prefix = prefix
        self._client = redis.Redis.from_url(redis_url)
    
    # Required interface implementations
    def get(self, key: str) -> Optional[str]: ...
    def has(self, key: str) -> bool: ...
    def reload(self) -> None: ...
    @property
    def name(self) -> str: ...

3. Register Provider

Register your provider in factory src/config_manager/providers/factory.py

class ProviderFactory:
    ...

# Register providers here
ProviderFactory.register(Provider.ENV, EnvProvider)
ProviderFactory.register(Provider.GCP, GCPProvider)

4. Export Provider

Export your provider in the module level src/config_manager/providers/__init__.py

from .redis import RedisProvider

__all__ = [
    ...
    "RedisProvider",
]

Export your provider in the package level src/config_manager/__init__.py

from .providers import ProviderFactory, EnvProvider, GCPProvider, RedisProvider

__all__ = [
    ...
    "RedisProvider",
]

Examples of Potential Custom Providers

• AWS Secrets Manager
• Azure Key Vault
• HashiCorp Vault
• Redis
• MongoDB
• Local JSON/YAML files
• Remote HTTP endpoints

Each provider needs to implement the ConfigProvider interface and handle:

• Configuration retrieval
• Key existence checking
• Reloading mechanism
• Error handling

Dependencies
