# Rougail
## Description
Rougail is a free full-featured configuration manager library written in python3.
The configuration is describe in YAML dictionary files.
Those dictionaries are converted into [Tiramisu](https://framagit.org/tiramisu/tiramisu) objects.
Rougail can be incorporated with other technologies and stacks regardless of whether theyre written in Python or not.
## Simple example
Create a directory:
```bash
# mkdir dict
```
## Dictionary
A dictionary is a variables description file.
Create the file `dict/dictionary.yml`:
```yml
---
version: '1.0'
# describe a variable my_first_variable
# and a family with a variable my_second_variable
my_first_variable:
default: my_value
my_family:
my_second_variable:
type: number
mandatory: true
value: 1
```
## Generate variable
### With default value:
Here is a python3 example file:
```python
from rougail import Rougail, RougailConfig
from pprint import pprint
RougailConfig['dictionaries_dir'] = ['dict']
RougailConfig['templates_dir'] = ['tmpl']
RougailConfig['tmp_dir'] = 'tmp'
RougailConfig['destinations_dir'] = 'dest'
rougail = Rougail()
config = rougail.get_config()
pprint(config.value.get(), sort_dicts=False)
```
The result is:
```json
{'rougail.my_first_variable': 'my_value',
'rougail.my_family.my_second_variable': 1}
```
### With modified value
Use [Tiramisu](https://framagit.org/tiramisu/tiramisu) API to change values:
```python
from rougail import Rougail, RougailConfig
from pprint import pprint
RougailConfig['dictionaries_dir'] = ['dict']
RougailConfig['templates_dir'] = ['tmpl']
RougailConfig['tmp_dir'] = 'tmp'
RougailConfig['destinations_dir'] = 'dest'
rougail = Rougail()
config = rougail.get_config()
config.option('rougail.my_first_variable').value.set('modified_value')
config.option('rougail.my_family.my_second_variable').value.set(2)
pprint(config.value.get(), sort_dicts=False)
```
The destination file is generated with new values:
```json
{'rougail.my_first_variable': 'modified_value',
'rougail.my_family.my_second_variable': 2}
```
