A variable with type `domainname` ================================== .. objectives:: Objectives Discover new types of variables. .. prerequisites:: Prerequisites - We assume that Rougail's library is :ref:`installed ` on your computer. - It is possible to retrieve the current state of the various rougail files manipulated in this tutorial step by checking out the corresponding tag of the Rougail-tutorials git repository. Each tag corresponds to a stage of progress in the tutorial. Of course, you can also decide to copy/paste or download the tutorial files contents while following the tutorial steps. If you want to follow this tutorial with the help of the corresponding :tutorial:`Rougail-tutorials git repository `, this workshop page corresponds to the tags :tutorial:`v1.1_030 ` to :tutorial:`v1.1_033 ` in the repository. :: git clone https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials.git git checkout v1.1_030 .. type-along:: let's recap how far we've come We have an `http_proxy` family with an `address` variable .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/firefox/10-manual.yml :language: yaml :caption: An `address` variable in the `http_proxy` family .. manual: # Manual proxy configuration http_proxy: # HTTP Proxy address: description: HTTP address type: domainname :tutorial:`Download this file from the rougail-tutorials git repository ` And we have assigned a type to this variable: .. code-block:: yaml :linenos: :caption: The `address` variable with the `domainname` type assigned address: type: domainname Assigning a type is convenient for reading, but what else does it bring?

                "config/01/config.yml"
    
And we don't really see any change. But if we assign this user data: .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/02/config.yml :language: yaml :caption: A domain name user data setting with an IP address .. --- manual: http_proxy: address: 19.168.230.51 :tutorial:`Download this file from the rougail-tutorials git repository ` that is, with a value that is not a domain name, then when we will launch the rougail CLI we will see a difference: .. raw:: html :url: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/02/cmd_invalid.txt :class: terminal .. rougail -m firefox/ -u yaml -yf config/02/config.yml --cli.invalid_user_datas_error we then have this output: .. raw:: html :url: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/02/output_invalid.html :class: error ..
🛑 ERRORS
    ┗━━ the value "192.168.0.1" is an invalid domain name for 
        "manual.http_proxy.address" (HTTP address), must not be an IP, it will be 
        ignored when loading from the YAML file "config/02/config.yml"
    
We observe that an error has been raised because an IP address is not a domain name. Therefore, a type validation is taking place because we declared the type `domainname`. .. type-along:: A domain name has no space in it Let's have a look at another example of user setting that does not fit the `domainname` type: .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/03/config.yml :language: yaml :caption: An invalid domain name user data setting .. --- manual: http_proxy: address: bla bla :tutorial:`Download this file from the rougail-tutorials git repository ` The value is obviously not a domain name, then when we will launch the rougail CLI: .. raw:: html :url: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/03/cmd_invalid.txt :class: terminal .. rougail -m firefox/ -u yaml -yf config/03/config.yml --cli.invalid_user_datas_error we then have this output: .. raw:: html :url: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_030/config/03/output_invalid.html :class: error ..

.. type-along:: A variable with type's parameters .. questions:: Question OK I agree with the `domainname` type, but what if I want to specify an IP address as a user value for this `address` variable? Because it is therefore simply impossible to do so. Is there a way for my `address` variable to accept an IP address? Well, it is possible to configure the type so that it accepts IP addresses. We need to specify whether our variable accepts to be filled using an IP or a domain name only. This is where the ability to parameterize our variable comes in. .. rubric:: Let's add a type parameter. .. type-along:: For those who follow the tutorial with the help of the git repository Now you need to checkout the `v1.1_031` version:: git checkout v1.1_031 Let's add a type parameter named `allow_ip`: .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_031/firefox/10-manual.yml :language: yaml :caption: The `allow_ip` type parameter set in the :file:`firefox/10-manual.yml` structure file :linenos: .. --- manual: description: Manual proxy configuration http_proxy: description: HTTP Proxy address: description: HTTP address type: domainname params: allow_ip: true The params allow the domain name `address` variable to be set with IPs. .. glossary:: parameter A parameter is a property of a variable that can refine its behavior .. keypoints:: let's review the key points **Keywords** - we can add :term:`parameter`\ s to variables to refine their behavior **Progress** FIXME
