wexample-filestate 0.0.3

A tool for managing file states, with configuration files in YAML.

filestate

filestate is a Python package that allows you to manage the state of files and directories using YAML configuration files.

Features

• Apply and Modify Permissions and Ownership: Manage file and directory permissions and ownership individually or recursively.
• Create, Modify, and Delete Directories: Use patterns and regex to create, modify, and delete directories and subdirectories (e.g., ensure each Entity/MyEntity.php file has a corresponding Repository/MyEntityRepository.php).
• Create Files Using Templates and Placeholders: Generate files from templates with dynamic placeholders.

Installation

Install filestate with pip:

pip install wexample-filestate

Usage

Configuration File Example

# example.yaml
children:
  - path: /path/to/file
    owner: user
    group: group
    mode: '0644'
  - path: /path/to/directory
    recursive: true
    mode: '0755'
    create: true

Usage

Here's how you can use filestate in your Python code:

from filestate import FileStateManager

# Initialize the state manager with the root directory
state_manager = FileStateManager('root/directory/')

# Configure the state manager from a YAML configuration file
state_manager.configure_from_file('configuration.yaml')

# Perform a dry run to see what changes would be made
result = state_manager.dry_run()
result.print()

# Check if the configuration can be successfully applied
if state_manager.succeed():
    # Apply the configuration
    state_manager.apply()
else:
    print("Configuration could not be applied successfully.")

Applying and Modifying Permissions

state_manager = FileStateManager('/var/www/')
state_manager.configure({
    'files': [
        {'path': '/var/www/index.html', 'owner': 'www-data', 'group': 'www-data', 'mode': '0644'},
        {'path': '/var/www/css/', 'recursive': True, 'owner': 'www-data', 'group': 'www-data', 'mode': '0755'}
    ]
})
state_manager.apply()

Applying and Modifying Permissions

state_manager = FileStateManager('/project/')
state_manager.configure({
    'directories': [
        {'path': '/project/src/Entity/', 'create': True},
        {'path': '/project/src/Repository/', 'create': True, 'pattern': 'Entity/*Entity.php', 'target': 'Repository/*Repository.php'}
    ]
})
state_manager.apply()
