"""
Configuration schemas can be used to group configuration values
together.  These schemas can be instantiated at import time, and values can
be retrieved from them by accessing the attributes of the schema object.
Each field on the schema turns into an accessor for a configuration value.
These accessors will cache the return value of the validator that they use, so
expensive operations are not repeated.

Example
-------

.. code-block:: python

    from staticconf import schema

    class MyClassSchema(object):
        __metaclass__ = schema.SchemaMeta

        # Namespace to retrieve configuration values from
        namespace = 'my_package'

        # (optional) Config path to prepend to all config keys in this schema
        config_path = 'my_class.foo'

        # Attributes accept the same values as a getter (default, help, etc)
        ratio = schema.float(default=0.2) # configured at my_class.foo.ratio

        # You can optionally specify a different name from the attribute name
        max_threshold = schema.int(config_key='max') # configued at my_class.foo.max


You can also create your schema objects by subclassing Schema

.. code-block:: python

    from staticconf import schema

    class MyClassSchema(schema.Schema):
        ...


Access the values from a schema by instantiating the schema class.

.. code-block:: python

    config = MyClassSchema()
    print config.ratio


Arguments
---------

Schema accessors accept the following kwargs:

config_key
    string configuration key
default
    if no ``default`` is given, the key must be present in the configuration.
    Raises :class:`staticconf.errors.ConfigurationError` on missing key.
help
    a help string describing the purpose of the config value. See
    :func:`staticconf.config.view_help`.



Custom schema types
-------------------

You can also create your own custom types using :func:`build_value_type`.

.. code-block:: python

    from staticconf import schema

    def validator(value):
        try:
            return do_some_casting(value)
        except Exception:
            raise ConfigurationError("%s can't be validated as a foo" % value)

    foo_type = schema.build_value_type(validator)


    class MySchema(object):
        __metaclass__ = schema.SchemaMeta

        something = foo_type(default=...)
