Preliminaries ================ .. objectives:: Objectives We will learn how to: - create a Rougail :term:`structure description file ` - define a Rougail format version - define a Rougail :term:`variable` and set its :term:`value` .. type-along:: Reminders We already learned in other workshops how to: - define a Rougail :term:`structure description file ` :ref:`Here is an empty Rougail dictionnary ` - define a variable and its default value :ref:`Here is a first Rougail variable in a Rougail dictionnary ` - define a variable with a description :ref:`Here is a Rougail variable with a description ` - define a variable with a description and a default value :ref:`Here is a Rougail variable with a default value ` The integrator role ---------------------- .. glossary:: integrator An integrator in the Rougail logic is the person who writes the :term:`structure files `\ . He has the responsibilitรฉ of the integration process, that is, defines the variables and the relationship between them, the variables that are allowed (or not) to be set, and so on. His responsabilites are the **structuration** and the **consistency** of the variables. .. image:: images/integrator.png .. important:: Note that there is a strong consistency, it means that the validation is done across the entire structure, not only with a schema (type) validation system. The operator role --------------------- .. glossary:: operator An operator ih the Rougail logic is the person who gives :term:`value`\ s to the pre-defined variables, his responsabilities are to set variable values correctly. The user :term:`value`\ s, that is the values that have been set by the operator, are validated by the :term:`structure file `. .. image:: images/operator.png The operator can use the Rougail CLI interface: .. image:: images/QuestionaryChoice.png .. index:: Rougail CLI The Rougail CLI can output a rather complete view of the dataset: .. image:: images/UserDataOutput.png Values are mandatory ------------------------- .. important:: It is the operator's responsibility to set configuration options values.

Typing a variable ----------------- If the `type` attribute is not set, rougail infers a `string` type for the `proxy_mode` configuration option variable type as defined in the structure file. If the operator sets an option value for example with the `number` type, like this: .. code-block:: yaml --- example_var: description: Configure Proxy Access to the Internet type: number Then rougail will expect a `int` or a `float` as a value for the `example_var` variable.

    Variables:
    โ”—โ”โ” ๐Ÿ““ proxy_mode: No proxy
The `proxy_mode` variable here, implicitely requires a value. It is a :term:`mandatory` variable. It shall have a value, but what if the user *does not* specify any value? There is a possibility of setting a default value, wich is set as `No proxy` by default. Container type ----------------- We say that the `proxy_mode` variable is *constrained* (by the `choice` type). We have the list of the possible (authorized) values: - `No proxy` - `Auto-detect proxy settings for this network` - `Use system proxy settings` - `Manual proxy configuration` - `Automatic proxy configuration URL` .. glossary:: choice type The `proxy_mode` setting is "choice" (`type: choice`) means that there is a list of available values that can be selected. .. note:: Indeed, in the Firefox configuration, it is possible to define several configuration modes, from no proxy at all (`no proxy`) to a kind of automatic configuration mode from a file (`set up proxy configuration from a file`). .. keypoints:: Key points progress **Keywords** - :term:`structure file `: structure description file - :term:`variable`: an option's name which has a value - a variable's description - a variable's type - a variable's default value - the :term:`integrator` and :term:`operator` roles - a mandatory value - a choice type To sum up, we have arrived at this point in writing the structure file: **Structure description file** .. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_013/firefox/00-proxy.yml :linenos: :language: yaml :caption: A rougail dictionnary file with a variable named `proxy_mode`, with a default value. .. .. raw:: text --- proxy_mode: description: Configure Proxy Access to the Internet type: choice choices: - No proxy - Auto-detect proxy settings for this network - Use system proxy settings - Manual proxy configuration - Automatic proxy configuration URL default: No proxy
