Preliminaries
================
.. objectives:: Objectives
We will learn how to:
- create a Rougail :term:`structure description file <dictionary>`
- 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 <dictionary>`
:ref:`Here is an empty Rougail dictionnary <RougailDictionaryEmptyFile>`
- define a variable and its default value
:ref:`Here is a first Rougail variable in a Rougail dictionnary <RougailDictionaryFirstVariable>`
- define a variable with a description
:ref:`Here is a Rougail variable with a description <RougailDictionaryFirstVariableDescription>`
- define a variable with a description and a default value
:ref:`Here is a Rougail variable with a default value <RougailDictionaryFirstVariableDefault>`
The integrator role
----------------------
.. glossary::
integrator
An integrator in the Rougail logic is the person who writes the :term:`structure files <dictionaries>`\ .
He has the responsibilité 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 <dictionary>`.
.. 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
-------------------------
It is the operator's responsibility to set configuration options values.
So, if :
- there is no default value set in the structure file,
- no value is set in the value file:
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/tag/v1.1_004/firefox/00-proxy.yml
:linenos:
:language: yaml
:caption: The :file:`config/01/config.yaml` rougail dictionnary file, with no default value set.
:name: RougailDictionaryNoDefaultUseCase
In this situation there are no default value set. The rougail CLI will output an error :
.. code-block:: shell
:caption: A rougail Command Line Utility call with the :file:`config/01/config.yaml` rougail dictionnary file
foo@bar:~$ rougail -v 1.1 -m firefox -u file -ff config/01/config.yaml
.. raw:: html
:url: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/commit/v1.1_003/config/01/output_ro.html
Rougail waits for a value to be set, that's why.
.. seealso:: To go further, have a look at the :tiramisu:`mandatory option <glossary.html#term-mandatory-option>` Tiramisu's definition.
Type inférence
-----------------
By default, rougail infers a `string` type.
If the operator sets an option value with the `string` type, like this:
.. extinclude:: https://forge.cloud.silique.fr/stove/rougail-tutorials/raw/commit/v1.1_003/config/05/config.yaml
:linenos:
:language: yaml

**Keywords**
- :term:`structure file <dictionary>`: structure description file
- :term:`variable`: an option's name which has a value
- a variable's description
- a variable's default value
- the :term:`integrator` and :term:`operator` roles
- a mandatory option value
To sum up, we have arrived here
