Overview

The Glyph::Config class is used (you don’t say!) to store configuration data. Essentially it wraps a Hash of Hashes and provides some useful methods to access keys and subkeys.

Constructor Details

#initialize(options = {}) ⇒ Config

Initializes the configuration with a hash of options:

  • :file (default: nil) - A YAML file to read data from

  • :data (default: {})- The initial contents

  • :resettable (default: false) - Whether the configuration can be reset (cleared) or not

  • :mutable (default: true) - Whether the configuration can be changed or not

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    the configuration options (merged with the the defaults)

#get(setting) ⇒ Object

Returns a configuration setting

Examples:

cfg = Glyph::Config.new
cfg.get "system.quiet"							# true
cfg.get "test.test_value"	# [1,2,3]

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the new value

def get(setting)
	@data.instance_eval "self#{setting.to_s.split(".").map{|key| "[:#{key}]" }.join}" rescue nil
end

#merge(cfg) ⇒ Glyph::Config

Merges configuration data by applying Hash#merge to each sub-hash of data, recursively.

Parameters:

Returns:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    unless cfg is a Glyph::Config

def merge(cfg)
	merge_or_update cfg, :merge
end

#read ⇒ Hash

Reads the contents of a file and stores them as configuration data

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    Configuration data

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError) —

    if self is not linked to a file or if the file does not contain a serialized Hash

	if @file.exist? then 
		contents = yaml_load @file
		raise RuntimeError, "Invalid configuration file '#{@file}'" unless contents.is_a? Hash
		@data = contents
	else
		@data = {}
	end
	@data
end

#reset(hash = {}) ⇒ Hash

Resets all configuration data

Parameters:

  • hash (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    the new configuration data to store

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    Configuration data

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError) —

    unless the configuration is resettable or if no hash is passed

def reset(hash={})
	raise RuntimeError, "Configuration cannot be reset" unless @options[:resettable]
	raise RuntimeError, "Configuration data is not stored in a Hash" unless hash.is_a? Hash
	@data = hash
end

#set(setting, value) ⇒ Object

Updates a configuration setting

Examples:

cfg = Glyph::Config.new
cfg.set "system.quiet", true 								# Sets "system.quiet" => true
cfg.set "test.test_value", "[1,2,3]" # Sets :test => {:test_value => [1,2,3]}
cfg.set "system.quiet", "false" 							# Sets "system.quiet" => false

Parameters:

  • setting (String, Symbol) —

    the setting to update

  • value (Object) —

    the value to store. Where applicable (Array, Hash, Boolean, Nil), attempts to evaluate string values

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the new value

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError) —

    unless the configuration is mutable

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if the setting refers to an invalid namespace
