pip install fideslibExamples here will assume a project structure of src/my_project where my_project is
the root module.
To use the default config settings create a module and file to store the config. In
this example we will use src/my_project/core/config.py.
from fideslib.core.config import get_config
config = get_config()Then the config can be used in other files by importing config.
from my_project.core.config import configThe default config can be overridden by extending the settings classes. With the same
setup as above, in the src/my_project/core/config.py file:
from fideslib.core.config import DatabaseSettings, FidesSettings, get_config
class ExtendedDataBaseSettings(DatabaseSettings):
extra_field: str
class Config:
env_prefix = "FIDESOPS__DATABASE__"
class ExtendedFidesSettings(FidesSettings):
database: ExtendedDataBaseSettings
config = get_config(ExtendedDataBaseSettings) # pass the name of the custom settings class hereNow the resulting config.database will contain the extra extra_field field and
ExtendedDataBaseSettings will look for environment variables with
FIDESOBS__DATABASE__.
