=head1 NAME
Config::GitLike - git-compatible config file parsing
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This module parses git-style config files, which look like this:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = spang.cc:/srv/git/home.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[another-section "subsection"]
key = test
key = multiple values are OK
emptyvalue =
novalue
Code that uses this config module might look like:
use Config::GitLike;
# just load a specific file
my $data = Config::GitLike->load_file("~/.fooconf");
# or use the object interface to load /etc/config, ~/.config, and
# `pwd`/.config
my $c = Config::GitLike->new(confname => 'config');
$c->get( key => 'section.name' );
# make the return value a Perl true/false value
$c->get( key => 'core.filemode', as => 'bool' );
# replace the old value
$c->set(
key => 'section.name',
value => 'val1',
filename => '/home/user/.config',
);
# make this key have multiple values rather than replacing the
# old value
$c->set(
key => 'section.name',
value => 'val2',
filename => '/home/user/.config',
multiple => 1,
);
# replace all occurrences of the old value for section.name with a new one
$c->set(
key => 'section.name',
value => 'val3',
filename => '/home/user/.config',
multiple => 1,
replace_all => 1,
);
# make sure to reload the config files before reading if you've set
# any variables!
$c->load;
# get only the value of 'section.name' that matches '2'
$c->get( key => 'section.name', filter => '2' );
$c->get_all( key => 'section.name' );
# prefixing a search regexp with a ! negates it
$c->get_regexp( key => '!na' );
$c->rename_section(
from => 'section',
to => 'new-section',
filename => '/home/user/.config'
);
$c->remove_section(
section => 'section',
filename => '/home/user/.config'
);
# unsets all instances of the given key
$c->set( key => 'section.name', filename => '/home/user/.config' );
my %config_vals = $config->dump;
# string representation of config data
my $str = $config->dump;
# prints rather than returning
$config->dump;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module handles interaction with configuration files of the style used
by the version control system Git. It can both parse and modify these
files, as well as create entirely new ones.
You only need to know a few things about the configuration format in order
to use this module. First, a configuration file is made up of key/value
pairs. Every key must be contained in a section. Sections can have
subsections, but they don't have to. For the purposes of setting and
getting configuration variables, we join the section name,
subsection name, and variable name together with dots to get a key
name that looks like "section.subsection.variable". These are the
strings that you'll be passing in to C<key> arguments.
Configuration files inherit from each other. By default, C<Config::GitLike>
loads data from a system-wide configuration file, a per-user
configuration file, and a per-directory configuration file, but by
subclassing and overriding methods you can obtain any combination of
configuration files. By default, configuration files that don't
exist are just skipped.
See
L<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html#_configuration_file>
for details on the syntax of git configuration files. We won't waste pixels
on the nitty gritty here.
While the behavior of a couple of this module's methods differ slightly
from the C<git config> equivalents, this module can read any config file
written by git. The converse is usually true, but only if you don't take
advantage of this module's increased permissiveness when it comes to key
names. (See L<DIFFERENCES FROM GIT-CONFIG> for details.)
This is an object-oriented module using L<Moo|Moo>. All
subroutines are object method calls.
A few methods have parameters that are always used for the same purpose:
=head2 Filenames
All methods that change things in a configuration file require a filename to
write to, via the C<filename> parameter. Since a C<Config::GitLike> object can
be working with multiple config files that inherit from each other, we don't
try to figure out which one to write to automatically and let you specify
instead.
=head2 Casting
All get and set methods can make sure the values they're returning or
setting are valid values of a certain type: C<bool>, C<int>,
C<num>, or C<bool-or-int> (or at least as close as Perl can get
to having these types). Do this by passing one of these types
in via the C<as> parameter. The set method, if told to write
bools, will always write "true" or "false" (not anything else that
C<cast> considers a valid bool).
Methods that are told to cast values will throw exceptions if
the values they're trying to cast aren't valid values of the
given type.
See the L<"cast"> method documentation for more on what is considered valid
for each type.
=head2 Filtering
All get and set methods can filter what values they return via their
C<filter> parameter, which is expected to be a string that is a valid
regex. If you want to filter items OUT instead of IN, you can
prefix your regex with a ! and that will do the trick.
Now, on the the methods!
=head1 MAIN METHODS
There are the methods you're likely to use the most.
=head2 new( confname => 'config', encoding => 'UTF-8' )
Create a new configuration object with the base config name C<confname>.
If you are interested simply in loading one specific file, and not in
automatically loading a global file, a per-user file, and a
per-directory file, see L</load_file>, below.
C<confname> is used to construct the filenames that will be loaded; by
default, these are C</etc/confname> (global configuration file),
C<~/.confname> (user configuration file), and C<<Cwd>/.confname> (directory
configuration file).
You can override these defaults by subclassing C<Config::GitLike> and
overriding the methods C<global_file>, C<user_file>, and C<dir_file>. (See
L<"METHODS YOU MAY WISH TO OVERRIDE"> for details.)
If you wish to enforce only being able to read/write config files that
git can read or write, pass in C<compatible =E<gt> 1> to this
constructor. The default rules for some components of the config
file are more permissive than git's (see L<"DIFFERENCES FROM GIT-CONFIG">).
If you know that your Git config files are encoded with a known
character encoding, pass in C<encoding =E<gt> $encoding> to specify the
name of the encoding. Config::GitLike will then properly serialize and
deserialize the files with that encoding. Note that configutation files
written with C<git config> are usually, but are not required to be, in
UTF-8.
=head2 confname
The configuration filename that you passed in when you created
the C<Config::GitLike> object. You can change it if you want by
passing in a new name (and then reloading via L<"load">).
=head2 load
This method is usually called implicitly on the first L</get>,
L</get_all>, L</get_regex>, or L</dump> call used, and is only necessary
if you want to explicitly reload the data.
Load the global, local, and directory configuration file with the filename
C<confname>(if they exist). Configuration variables loaded later
override those loaded earlier, so variables from the directory
configuration file have the highest precedence.
Pass in an optional path, and it will be passed on to L<"load_dirs"> (which
loads the directory configuration file(s)).
Returns a hash copy of all loaded configuration data stored in the module
after the files have been loaded, or a hashref to this hash in
scalar context.
=head2 config_files
An array reference containing the absolute filenames of all config files
that are currently loaded, in the order they were loaded.
=head2 get
Parameters:
key => 'sect.subsect.key'
as => 'int'
human => 1
filter => '!foo'
Return the config value associated with C<key> cast as an C<as>.
The C<key> option is required (will return undef if unspecified); the
C<as> amd C<human> options are not (see L<cast> for their
meaning). Sections and subsections are specified in the key by
separating them from the key name with a C<.> character. Sections,
subsections, and keys may all be quoted (double or single quotes).
If C<key> doesn't exist in the config, or has no values which match the
filter, undef is returned. Dies with the exception "Multiple values" if
the given key has more than one value associated with it which match the
filter. (Use L<"get_all"> to retrieve multiple values.)
Calls L<"load"> if it hasn't been done already. Note that if you've run any
C<set> calls to the loaded configuration files since the last time they were
loaded, you MUST call L<"load"> again before getting, or the returned
configuration data may not match the configuration variables on-disk.
=head2 get_all
Parameters:
key => 'section.sub'
as => 'int'
human => 1
filter => 'regex'
Like L<"get"> but does not fail if the number of values for the key is not
exactly one.
Returns a list of values (or an arrayref in scalar context).
=head2 get_regexp
Parameters:
key => 'regex'
as => 'bool'
human => 1
filter => 'regex'
Similar to L<"get_all"> but searches for values based on a key regex.
Returns a hash of name/value pairs (or a hashref in scalar context).
=head2 dump
In scalar context, return a string containing all configuration data, sorted in
ASCII order, in the form:
section.key=value
section2.key=value
If called in void context, this string is printed instead.
In list context, returns a hash containing all the configuration data.
=head2 set
Parameters:
key => 'section.name'
value => 'bar'
filename => File::Spec->catfile(qw/home user/, '.'.$config->confname)
filter => 'regex'
as => 'bool'
multiple => 1
replace_all => 1
Set the key C<foo> in the configuration section C<section> to the value C<bar>
in the given filename.
Replace C<key>'s value if C<key> already exists.
To unset a key, pass in C<key> but not C<value>.
Returns true on success.
If you need to have a . character in your variable name, you can surround the
name with quotes (single or double): C<key => 'section."foo.bar.com"'>
Don't do this unless you really have to.
=head3 multiple values
By default, set will replace the old value rather than giving a key multiple
values. To override this, pass in C<multiple =E<gt> 1>. If you want to replace
all instances of a multiple-valued key with a new value, you need to pass
in C<replace_all =E<gt> 1> as well.
=head2 group_set( $filename, $array_ref )
Same as L<"set">, but set a group of variables at the same time without
writing to disk separately for each.
C<$array_ref> contains a list of hash references which are essentially hashes
of arguments to C<set>, excluding the C<$filename> argument since that is
specified separately and the same file is used for all variables to be set at
once.
=head2 rename_section
Parameters:
from => 'name.subname'
to => 'new.subname'
filename => '/file/to/edit'
Rename the section existing in C<filename> given by C<from> to the section
given by C<to>.
Throws an exception C<No such section> if the section in C<from> doesn't exist
in C<filename>.
If no value is given for C<to>, the section is removed instead of renamed.
Returns true on success, false if C<filename> didn't exist and thus
the rename did nothing.
=head2 remove_section
Parameters:
section => 'section.subsection'
filename => '/file/to/edit'
Just a convenience wrapper around L<"rename_section"> for readability's sake.
Removes the given section (which you can do by renaming to nothing as well).
=head2 add_comment
Parameters:
comment => "Begin editing here\n and then stop",
filename => '/file/to/edit'
indented => 1,
semicolon => 0,
Add a comment to the specified configuration file. The C<comment> and
C<filename> parameters are required. Comments will be added to the file with
C<# > at the begnning of each line of the comment. Pass a true value to
C<semicolon> if you'd rather they start with C<; >. If your comments are
indented with leading white space, and you want that white space to appear in
front of the comment character, rather than after, pass a true value to
C<indented>.
=head2 cascade( $bool )
Gets or sets if only the B<deepest> configuration file in a directory
tree is loaded, or if all of them are loaded, shallowest to deepest.
Alternately, C<cascade =E<gt> 1> can be passed to C<new>.
=head2 origins
Returns a hash mapping each config key with the file it was loaded from.
=head1 METHODS YOU MAY WISH TO OVERRIDE
If your application's configuration layout is different from the default, e.g.
if its home directory config files are in a directory within the home
directory (like C<~/.git/config>) instead of just dot-prefixed, override these
methods to return the right directory names. For fancier things like altering
precedence, you'll need to override L<"load"> as well.
=head2 dir_file
Return a string containing the path to a configuration file with the
name C<confname> in a directory. The directory isn't specified here.
=head2 global_file
Return the string C</etc/confname>, the absolute name of the system-wide
configuration file with name C<confname>.
=head2 user_file
Return a string containing the path to a configuration file
in the current user's home directory with filename C<confname>.
=head2 load_dirs
Parameters:
'/path/to/look/in/'
Load the configuration file with the filename L<"dir_file"> in the current
working directory into the memory or, if there is no config matching
C<dir_file> in the current working directory, walk up the directory tree until
one is found. (No error is thrown if none is found.) If an optional path
is passed in, that directory will be used as the base directory instead
of the working directory.
You'll want to use L<"load_file"> to load config files from your overridden
version of this subroutine.
Returns nothing of note.
=head1 OTHER METHODS
These are mostly used internally in other methods, but could be useful anyway.
=head2 load_global
If a global configuration file with the absolute name given by
L<"global_file"> exists, load its configuration variables into memory.
Returns the current contents of all the loaded configuration variables
after the file has been loaded, or undef if no global config file is found.
=head2 load_user
If a configuration file with the absolute name given by
L<"user_file"> exists, load its config variables into memory.
Returns the current contents of all the loaded configuration variables
after the file has been loaded, or undef if no user config file is found.
=head2 load_file( $filename )
Takes a string containing the path to a file, opens it if it exists, loads its
config variables into memory, and returns the currently loaded config
variables (a hashref).
This method can also be called as a class method, which will die if the
file cannot be read. If called as an instance method, returns undef on
failure.
=head2 parse_content
Parameters:
content => 'str'
callback => sub {}
error => sub {}
Parses the given content and runs callbacks as it finds valid information.
Returns undef on success and C<error($content)> (the original content) on
failure.
C<callback> is called like:
callback(section => $str, offset => $num, length => $num, name => $str, value => $str)
C<name> and C<value> may be omitted if the callback is not being called on a
key/value pair, or if it is being called on a key with no value.
C<error> is called like:
error( content => $content, offset => $offset )
Where C<offset> is the point in the content where the parse error occurred.
If you need to use this method, you might be interested in L<"error_callback">
as well.
=head2 error_callback
Parameters:
content => 'str'
offset => 45
filename => '/foo/bar/.baz'
Made especially for passing to L<"parse_content">, passed through the
C<error> parameter like this:
error => sub {
error_callback( @_, filename => '/file/you/were/parsing' )
}
It's used internally wherever L<"parse_content"> is used and will throw
an exception with a useful message detailing the line number, position on
the line, and contents of the bad line; if you find the need to use
L<"parse_content"> elsewhere, you may find it useful as well.
=head2 set_multiple( $name )
Mark the key string C<$name> as containing multiple values.
Returns nothing.
=head2 is_multiple( $name )
Return a true value if the key string C<$name> contains multiple values; false
otherwise.
=head2 define
Parameters:
section => 'str'
name => 'str'
value => 'str'
Given a section, a key name, and a value¸ store this information
in memory in the config object.
Returns the value that was just defined on success, or undef
if no name and section were given and thus the key cannot be defined.
=head2 cast
Parameters:
value => 'foo'
as => 'int'
human => 1
Return C<value> cast into the type specified by C<as>.
Valid values for C<as> are C<bool>, C<int>, C<num>, or C<bool-or-num>. For
C<bool>, C<true>, C<yes>, C<on>, C<1>, and undef are translated into a true
value (for Perl); anything else is false. Specifying a true value for the
C<human> argument will get you a human-readable 'true' or 'false' rather than a
value that plays along with Perl's definition of truthiness (0 or 1).
For C<int>s and C<num>s, if C<value> ends in C<k>, C<m>, or C<g>, it will be
multiplied by 1024, 1048576, and 1073741824, respectively, before being
returned. C<int>s are truncated after being multiplied, if they have
a decimal portion.
C<bool-or-int>, as you might have guessed, gives you either
a bool or an int depending on which one applies.
If C<as> is unspecified, C<value> is returned unchanged.
=head2 format_section
Parameters:
section => 'section.subsection'
base => 1
Return a string containing the section/subsection header, formatted
as it should appear in a config file. If C<bare> is true, the returned
value is not followed be a newline.
=head2 format_definition
Parameters:
key => 'str'
value => 'str'
bare => 1
Return a string containing the key/value pair as they should be printed in the
config file. If C<bare> is true, the returned value is not tab-indented nor
followed by a newline.
=head2 canonical_case( $name )
Given a full key name, returns the canonical name of the key; this is
the key with the section and name lower-cased; the subsection is left
as-is.
=head2 original_key( $name )
Given a full key name, returns the key as it was last loaded from the
file, retaining what ever upper/lower case was used. Note that for
multiple-valued keys, this returns an array reference of key names, as
each definition may have been provided in a different choice of case.
=head1 DIFFERENCES FROM GIT-CONFIG
This module does the following things differently from git-config:
We are much more permissive about valid key names and section names.
For variables, instead of limiting variable names to alphanumeric characters
and -, we allow any characters except for = and newlines, including spaces as
long as they are not leading or trailing, and . as long as the key name is
quoted. For sections, any characters but whitespace, [], and " are allowed.
You can enforce reading/writing only git-compatible variable names and section
headers by passing C<compatible =E<gt> 1> to the constructor.
When replacing variable values and renaming sections, we merely use
a substring replacement rather than writing out new lines formatted in the
default manner for new lines. Git's replacement/renaming (as of
1.6.3.2) is currently buggy and loses trailing comments and variables
that are defined on the same line as a section being renamed. Our
method preserves original formatting and surrounding information.
We also allow the 'num' type for casting, since in many cases we
might want to be more lenient on numbers.
We truncate decimal numbers that are cast to C<int>s, whereas
Git just rejects them.
We don't support NUL-terminating output (the --null flag to
git-config). Who needs it?
