Why another validating library?
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Using Rougail in your application or your python libraries can tansform end user consumer defined consistency rules into highly consistent business objects.
|
|
|
|
We then have to say that the handling system used to ensure the variables integrity is another python library, called :term:`Tiramisu`. Rougail is currently strongly affiliated with Tiramisu.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Rougail is currently intended to work in coordination with :term:`Tiramisu` and **is not** intended to be connected with any other consistency handling system.
|
|
|
|
Explained differently, Rougail allows you to easily implement an integration of the powerful tiramisu consistency handling system.
|
|
|
|
What is a consistency handling system ?
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. questions:: Rougail, Tiramisu: What is it all about?
|
|
|
|
**Question**: OK, I have understood that the Rougail library allows me to take advantage of the :xref:`tiramisu` consistency handling library. But what is all this for? What is exactly a consistency handling system? And again, what is this :xref:`Tiramisu library <tiramisu library>` used for?
|
|
|
|
**Answer**: Well, we will explain in details what this :xref:`tiramisu` library is and what Rougail is.
|
|
|
|
In (very) short:
|
|
|
|
- Rougail is the YAML consistency description of a :term:`context`\ 's situation
|
|
- Tiramisu is the consistency engine linter

Tiramisu
|
|
|
|
:xref:`tiramisu` is a consistency handling system that has initially been designed
|
|
in the configuration management scope. Until now,
|
|
this library is generally used to handle configuration options.
|
|
|
|
It manages variables and group of variables. In the Tiramisu scope we call
|
|
it *options* and *option descriptions*.
|
|
|
|
Here is the :xref:`tiramisu documentation <tiramisu>`.
|
|
|
|
In the Rougail scope, we call it :term:`variables <variable>` and :term:`families <family>`.
|
|
In Rougail, the families and variables are located in the :term:`structure files <structure file>`.
