Values with options

Simple option

Begin by creating a Config. This Config will contains two options:

  • first one is an option where the user will set an unix path
  • second one is an option that calculate the disk usage of the previous unix path

Let's import needed object:

from asyncio import run
from shutil import disk_usage
from os.path import isdir
from tiramisu import FilenameOption, FloatOption, OptionDescription, Config, \
                     Calculation, Params, ParamValue, ParamOption, ParamSelfOption

Create a function that verify the path exists in current system:

def valid_is_dir(path):
    # verify if path is a directory
    if not isdir(path):
        raise ValueError('this directory does not exist')

Use this function as a :doc:validator in a new option call path:

filename = FilenameOption('path', 'Path', validators=[Calculation(valid_is_dir,
                                                      Params(ParamSelfOption()))])

Create a second function that calculate the disk usage:

def calc_disk_usage(path, size='bytes'):
    # do not calc if path is None
    if path is None:
        return None

    if size == 'bytes':
        div = 1
    else:
        # bytes to gigabytes
        div = 1024 * 1024 * 1024
    return disk_usage(path).free / div

Add a new option call usage that use this function with first argument the option path created before:

usage = FloatOption('usage', 'Disk usage', Calculation(calc_disk_usage,
                                                       Params(ParamOption(filename))))

Finally add those options in option description and a Config:

disk = OptionDescription('disk', 'Verify disk usage', [filename, usage])
root = OptionDescription('root', 'root', [disk])
async def main():
    config = await Config(root)
    await config.property.read_write()

config = run(main())

Get and set a value

First of all, retrieve the values of both options:

async def main():
    print(await config.option('disk.path').value.get())
    print(await config.option('disk.usage').value.get())

run(main())

returns:

None
None

Enter a value of the path option:

async def main():
    await config.option('disk.path').value.set('/')
    print(await config.option('disk.path').value.get())
    print(await config.option('disk.usage').value.get())

run(main())

returns:

/
668520882176.0

When you enter a value it is validated:

try: config.option('disk.path').value.set('/unknown') except ValueError as err: print(err) "/unknown" is an invalid file name for "Path", this directory does not exist

We can also set a :doc:calculation as value. For example, we want to launch previous function but with in_gb to True as second argument:

calc = Calculation(calc_disk_usage, Params((ParamOption(filename), ... ParamValue('gigabytes')))) config.option('disk.usage').value.set(calc) config.option('disk.usage').value.get() 622.6080360412598

Is value is valid?

To check is a value is valid:

config.option('disk.path').value.valid() True

Display the default value

Even if the value is modify, you can display the default value with default method:

config.option('disk.path').value.set('/') config.option('disk.usage').value.set(1.0) config.option('disk.usage').value.get() 1.0 config.option('disk.usage').value.default() 668510105600.0

Return to the default value

If the value is modified, just reset it to retrieve the default value:

config.option('disk.path').value.set('/') config.option('disk.path').value.get() / config.option('disk.path').value.reset() config.option('disk.path').value.get() None

The ownership of a value

Every option has an owner, that will indicate who changed the option's value last.

The default owner of every option is "default", and means that the value is the default one.

If you use a "reset" instruction to get back to the default value, the owner will get back to "default" as well.

config.option('disk.path').value.reset() config.option('disk.path').owner.isdefault() True config.option('disk.path').owner.get() default config.option('disk.path').value.set('/') config.option('disk.path').owner.isdefault() False config.option('disk.path').owner.get() user

All modified values have an owner. We can change at anytime this owner:

config.option('disk.path').owner.set('itsme') config.option('disk.path').owner.get() itsme

.. note:: This will work only if the current owner isn't "default".

This new user will be keep until anyone change the value:

config.option('disk.path').value.set('/') config.option('disk.path').owner.get() user

This username is in fact the config user, which is user by default:

config.owner.get() user

This owner will be the owner that all the options in the config will get when their value is changed.

This explains why earlier, the owner became "user" when changing the option's value.

We can change this owner:

config.owner.set('itsme') config.option('disk.path').value.set('/') config.option('disk.path').owner.get() itsme

Get choices from a Choice option

In the previous example, it's difficult to change the second argument of the calc_disk_usage.

For ease the change, add a ChoiceOption and replace the size_type and disk option:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_choice.py :lines: 26-31 :linenos:

We set the default value to bytes, if not, the default value will be None.

:download:download the config <../src/api_value_choice.py>

At any time, we can get all de choices avalaible for an option:

config.option('disk.size_type').value.list() ('bytes', 'giga bytes')

Value in multi option

.. FIXME undefined

For multi option, just modify a little bit the previous example. The user can, now, set multiple path.

First of all, we have to modification in this option:

  • add multi attribute to True
  • the function use in validation valid a single value, so each value in the list must be validate separatly, for that we add whole attribute to False in ParamSelfOption object

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_multi.py :lines: 23-25 :linenos:

Secondly, the function calc_disk_usage must return a list:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_multi.py :lines: 11-26 :linenos:

Finally usage option is also a multi:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_multi.py :lines: 27-30 :linenos:

:download:download the config <../src/api_value_multi.py>

Get or set a multi value

Since the options are multi, the default value is a list:

config.option('disk.path').value.get() [] config.option('disk.usage').value.get() []

A multi option waiting for a list:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').value.get() ['/', '/tmp'] config.option('disk.usage').value.get() [668499898368.0, 8279277568.0]

The ownership of multi option

There is no difference in behavior between a simple option and a multi option:

config.option('disk.path').value.reset() config.option('disk.path').owner.isdefault() True config.option('disk.path').owner.get() default config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').owner.get() user

Leadership

In previous example, we cannot define different size_type for each path. If you want do this, you need a leadership.

In this case, each time we add a path, we can change an associate size_type.

As each value of followers are isolate, the function calc_disk_usage will receive only one path and one size.

So let's change this function:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_leader.py :lines: 12-18 :linenos:

Secondly the option size_type became a multi:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_leader.py :lines: 24-25 :linenos:

Finally disk has to be a leadership:

.. literalinclude:: ../src/api_value_leader.py :lines: 30 :linenos:

Get and set a leader

A leader is, in fact, a multi option:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').value.get() ['/', '/tmp']

There is two differences:

  • we can get the leader length:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').value.len() 2

  • we cannot reduce by assignation a leader:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) from tiramisu.error import LeadershipError try: ... config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/']) ... except LeadershipError as err: ... print(err) cannot reduce length of the leader "Path"

We cannot reduce a leader because Tiramisu cannot determine which isolate follower we have to remove, this first one or the second one?

To reduce use the pop method:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').value.pop(1) config.option('disk.path').value.get() ['/']

Get and set a follower

As followers are isolate, we cannot get all the follower values:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) from tiramisu.error import APIError try: ... config.option('disk.size_type').value.get() ... except APIError as err: ... print(err) index must be set with the follower option "Size type"

Index is mandatory:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.size_type', 0).value.get() bytes config.option('disk.size_type', 1).value.get() bytes

It's the same thing during the assignment:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.size_type', 0).value.set('giga bytes')

As the leader, follower has a length (in fact, this is the leader's length):

config.option('disk.size_type').value.len() 2

The ownership of a leader and follower

There is no differences between a multi option and a leader option:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.path').owner.get() user

For follower, it's different, always because followers are isolate:

config.option('disk.size_type', 0).value.set('giga bytes') config.option('disk.size_type', 0).owner.isdefault() False config.option('disk.size_type', 0).owner.get() user config.option('disk.size_type', 1).owner.isdefault() True config.option('disk.size_type', 1).owner.get() default

Values in option description

With an option description we can have directly a dict with all option's name and value:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.size_type', 0).value.set('giga bytes') config.option('disk').value.dict() {'path': ['/', '/tmp'], 'size_type': ['giga bytes', 'bytes'], 'usage': [622.578239440918, 8279273472.0]}

An attribute fullpath permit to have fullpath of child option:

config.option('disk').value.dict(fullpath=True) {'disk.path': ['/', '/tmp'], 'disk.size_type': ['giga bytes', 'bytes'], 'disk.usage': [622.578239440918, 8279273472.0]}

Values in config

###dict

With the config we can have directly a dict with all option's name and value:

config.option('disk.path').value.set(['/', '/tmp']) config.option('disk.size_type', 0).value.set('giga bytes') config.value.dict() {'disk.path': ['/', '/tmp'], 'disk.size_type': ['giga bytes', 'bytes'], 'disk.usage': [622.578239440918, 8279273472.0]}

If you don't wan't path but only the name:

config.value.dict(flatten=True) {'path': ['/', '/tmp'], 'size_type': ['giga bytes', 'bytes'], 'usage': [622.578239440918, 8279273472.0]}

importation/exportation

In config, we can export full values:

config.value.exportation() 'disk.path', 'disk.size_type'], [None, [0, '/', '/tmp'], ['giga bytes', ['user', ['user']]]

and reimport it later:

export = config.value.exportation() config.value.importation(export)

.. note:: The exportation format is not stable and can be change later, please do not use importation otherwise than jointly with exportation.
