Settings forge - the future of configurations

Settings forge is the module that helps you to serialize your configuration files into Python objects.

Installation

pip install settings-forge

If you want to use YAML configuration files, then you are required to install pyyaml.

Usage

• Create a file with the settings. We will use JSON as the example(settings.json):

{
    "username": "PythonOnPapyrus",
    "database": {
        "host": "db_host",
        "port": 12345,
        "password": "mypassword",
        "additional": {
            "ssl": true,
            "sessions": 100
        }
    },
    "uses_passwords": true,
    "version": 1
}

• Create a python file where your will create your settings(settings.py):

from settings_forge import JsonSettings

settings = JsonSettings("settings.json")
print(settings)

• Now, you can use your settings as a normal Python object:

USERNAME = settings.username
DATABASE_HOST = settings.database['host']

Available languages

• JSON
• YAML(you need to install pyyaml)

If you want to add your own languages

All you need to do is import settings_forge.BaseSettings and reassign those functions:

• read_input_file() - open the input file and return it
• parse_input_file() - parse the file data
• dumps() - serialize all the settings to a string
