In this section we will learn:
- what is a *property*
- the `disabled` property
- what a *property* is
- what the `disabled` property is
What is a disabled variable or family is, and why it is interesting to do that.
.. prerequisites:: Reminders
- We have three variables: :confval:`proxy_mode`, :confval:`address` and :confval:`port`
- We have three variables: :confval:`proxy_mode`, :confval:`address` and :confval:`port` placed in the `http_proxy` subfamily.
.. type-along:: The disabled property
.. glossary::
property
A property is a state (disabled, frozen, read_write, read_only, hidden ...)
of a family, a subfamily or a variable. These properties may vary
depending on the context.
A disabled family
-----------------------
Let's come back to our use case, we have a choice to make between five options
to make a choice in order to set the proxy mode:
.. image:: images/firefox_01.png
The five choices are:
- No proxy
- Auto-detect proxy settings for this network
- Use system proxy settings
- Manual proxy configuration
- Automatic proxy configuration URL
If the `Manual proxy configuration` is not selected, we don't need to set
the :confval:`address` and :confval:`port` variables, there is no point
in setting them. It's not just that: if we fill them in, there might be a problem in the overall integrity of the configuration. We shall fill and use in these variables
only in the `Manual proxy configuration` context. Otherwise, we need to disable them.
.. important:: We need to have the ability to **disable** variables that are not used
in a given context.
If we don't choose the manual mode, we need to **disable** these variables.
They are not used anymore.
Note that we've placed theses variables in the `http_proxy`
subfamily. We can then disable the whole `http_proxy` subfamily in order to
disable the variables that are placed in it.

manual:
description: Manual proxy configuration
disabled: true
http_proxy:
description: HTTP Proxy
address:
description: HTTP address
type: domainname
params:
allow_ip: true
port:
description: HTTP Port
type: port
default: 8080
We can see here the `disabled: true` parameter set in the `manual` family.
---
manual:
description: Manual proxy configuration
disabled: true
.. attention:: We will intentionally create an inconsistency here in order to
explore the `disabled` property's behavior.
Let's decide to make an inconsistency in the configuration: we are going to
select **the manual mode** as its variables are disabled.
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_027/config/03/config.yaml

:caption: The manual setting in the :file:`config/03/config.yaml` user datas file

proxy_mode: Manual proxy configuration
manual:
http_proxy:
address: example.net
Now let's validate the consitency of the configuration:
.. code-block:: text
:class: terminal
rougail -v 1.1 -m firefox/ -u file -ff config/03/config.yaml
As expected, we encounter an error:

.. keypoints:: Key points progress
**Keywords**
- the :term:`property` concept
- the `disabled` property
- disabled variable or family
- raising a configuration's consistency error
**Progress**
- we have a :term:`family` named `manual` and a sub family named `http_proxy`
- And we have now two variables: :confval:`proxy_mode` and :confval:`address`.
- We have disabled the `http_proxy` sub family.
