Extend Manyconfig¶
Adding a file format¶
You can easily add support for a file format by adding a parser to Manyconfig.
Suppose you have a format with key/value pairs separated by an equal sign. This is how you would add support for your format:
from manyconfig import format_parsers
@format_parsers.add("key=value")
def parse(file_object):
config = {}
for line in file_object:
key, value = line.split("=")
config[key] = value
return config
metaconfig = FileMetaConfig("key=value", "config")
You need to add the format parser before instanciating the FileMetaConfig.
Extend MetaConfig¶
To extend the MetaConfig
class, you need to
override the _load()
method. It should
return a dictionnary.
You can also override the __init__ method to capture arguments during instanciation, but please forward keyword-arguments to super.
