# Rougail
## Description
Rougail is a free full-featured configuration manager library written in python3.
The configuration is describe in YAML ou XML dictionary files.
Those dictionaries are converted into [Tiramisu](https://framagit.org/tiramisu/tiramisu) objects and can generates configuration files with template written in [Cheetah](https://cheetahtemplate.org/) or [Jinja](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/).
Rougail can be incorporated with other technologies and stacks regardless of whether theyre written in Python or not.
## Simple example
Create directories:
```bash
# mkdir dict tmpl tmp dest
```
### Dictionary
A dictionary is a services and a variables description file.
Create the file `dict/dictionary.yml`:
```yml
version: '0.10'
# describe a first service with a single file
services:
- service:
- name: my_service
file:
- engine: jinja2
text: /etc/filename
# describe a variable my_first_variable
# and a family with a variable my_second_variable
variables:
- variable:
name: my_first_variable
value:
- text: my_value
- family:
name: my_family
variables:
- variable:
name: my_second_variable
type: number
mandatory: true
value:
- text: 1
```
### Template
Create a [Jinja](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/) template `tmpl/filename`:
```
My first value: {{ my_first_variable }}
My second value: {{ my_second_variable }}
```
### Generate template
#### With default value:
Here is a python3 example file:
```python
from rougail import Rougail, RougailConfig
from asyncio import run
async def main():
RougailConfig['dictionaries_dir'] = ['dict']
RougailConfig['templates_dir'] = ['tmpl']
RougailConfig['tmp_dir'] = 'tmp'
RougailConfig['destinations_dir'] = 'dest'
rougail = Rougail()
await rougail.template()
run(main())
```
The destination file is generated:
```bash
# cat dest/etc/filename
My first value: my_value
My second value: 1
```
#### With modified value
Remove old generated file:
```bash
# rm -f dest/etc/filename
```
Use [Tiramisu](https://framagit.org/tiramisu/tiramisu) API to change values:
```python
from rougail import Rougail, RougailConfig
from asyncio import run
async def main():
RougailConfig['dictionaries_dir'] = ['dict']
RougailConfig['templates_dir'] = ['tmpl']
RougailConfig['tmp_dir'] = 'tmp'
RougailConfig['destinations_dir'] = 'dest'
rougail = Rougail()
config = await rougail.get_config()
await config.option('rougail.my_first_variable').value.set('modified_value')
await config.option('rougail.my_family.my_second_variable').value.set(2)
await rougail.template()
run(main())
```
The destination file is generated with new values:
```bash
# cat dest/etc/filename
My first value: modified_value
My second value: 2
```
