Which design patterns can be applied to the configuration settings problem?

January 24, 2023 by Tarik

I prefer to create an interface for setting query, loading, and saving. By using dependency injection, I can inject this into each component that requires it. This allows flexibility in terms of replacing the configuration strategy, and gives a common base for everything to work from. I prefer this to a single, global “settings loader” … Read more

WCF Configuration without a config file

January 22, 2023 by Tarik

Consuming a web service without a config file is very simple, as I’ve discovered.

Which is the best way to allow configuration options be overridden at the command line in Python?

January 7, 2023 by Tarik

I just discovered you can do this with argparse.ArgumentParser.parse_known_args(). Start by using parse_known_args() to parse a configuration file from the commandline, then read it with ConfigParser and set the defaults, and then parse the rest of the options with parse_args(). This will allow you to have a default value, override that with a configuration file … Read more

At what point does a config file become a programming language?

January 5, 2023 by Tarik

Very interesting questions! I tend to limit my config files to a very simple “key=value” format, because I fully agree with you that config files can very quickly become full-blown programs. For example, anyone who has ever tried to “configure” OpenSER knows the feeling you are talking about: it’s not configuration, it’s (painful) programming. When … Read more

How do you dynamically reload fish config files as you would in bash?

January 1, 2023 by Tarik

Use source ~/.config/fish/config.fish Or, if your fish is older than 2.1 (See fish#310) . ~/.config/fish/config.fish Then it will be sourced again, so depending on what you have in there it will be reloaded. For example appending to a universal variable would add more entries.

Preserve case in ConfigParser?

December 30, 2022 by Tarik

The documentation is confusing. What they mean is this: import ConfigParser, os def get_config(): config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.optionxform=str try: config.read(os.path.expanduser(‘~/.myrc’)) return config except Exception, e: log.error(e) c = get_config() print c.options(‘rules’) I.e. override optionxform, instead of calling it; overriding can be done in a subclass or in the instance. When overriding, set it to a … Read more

One simple but elegant way is to create a config.php file (or whatever you call it) that just returns an array: <?php return array( ‘host’ => ‘localhost’, ‘username’ => ‘root’, ); And then: $configs = include(‘config.php’);
