Configuration options may be set on the command line or in config files.

The schema for each option is defined using the
:class:`Opt` class or its sub-classes, for example:

::

    from oslo_config import cfg
    from oslo_config import types

    PortType = types.Integer(1, 65535)

    common_opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('bind_host',
                   default='0.0.0.0',
                   help='IP address to listen on.'),
        cfg.Opt('bind_port',
                type=PortType,
                default=9292,
                help='Port number to listen on.')
    ]

Option Types
------------

Options can have arbitrary types via the `type` parameter to the :class:`Opt`
constructor. The `type` parameter is a callable object that takes a string and
either returns a value of that particular type or raises :class:`ValueError` if
the value can not be converted.

For convenience, there are predefined option subclasses in
:mod:`oslo_config.cfg` that set the option `type` as in the following table:

====================================  ======
Type                                  Option
====================================  ======
:class:`oslo_config.types.String`     - :class:`oslo_config.cfg.StrOpt`
                                      - :class:`oslo_config.cfg.SubCommandOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.Boolean`    :class:`oslo_config.cfg.BoolOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.Integer`    - :class:`oslo_config.cfg.IntOpt`
                                      - :class:`oslo_config.cfg.PortOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.Float`      :class:`oslo_config.cfg.FloatOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.List`       :class:`oslo_config.cfg.ListOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.Dict`       :class:`oslo_config.cfg.DictOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.IPAddress`  :class:`oslo_config.cfg.IPOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.Hostname`   :class:`oslo_config.cfg.HostnameOpt`
:class:`oslo_config.types.URI`        :class:`oslo_config.cfg.URIOpt`
====================================  ======

For :class:`oslo_config.cfg.MultiOpt` the `item_type` parameter defines
the type of the values. For convenience, :class:`oslo_config.cfg.MultiStrOpt`
is :class:`~oslo_config.cfg.MultiOpt` with the `item_type` parameter set to
:class:`oslo_config.types.MultiString`.

The following example defines options using the convenience classes::

    enabled_apis_opt = cfg.ListOpt('enabled_apis',
                                   default=['ec2', 'osapi_compute'],
                                   help='List of APIs to enable by default.')

    DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS = [
        'nova.api.openstack.compute.contrib.standard_extensions'
    ]
    osapi_compute_extension_opt = cfg.MultiStrOpt('osapi_compute_extension',
                                                  default=DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS)

Registering Options
-------------------

Option schemas are registered with the config manager at runtime, but before
the option is referenced::

    class ExtensionManager(object):

        enabled_apis_opt = cfg.ListOpt(...)

        def __init__(self, conf):
            self.conf = conf
            self.conf.register_opt(enabled_apis_opt)
            ...

        def _load_extensions(self):
            for ext_factory in self.conf.osapi_compute_extension:
                ....

A common usage pattern is for each option schema to be defined in the module or
class which uses the option::

    opts = ...

    def add_common_opts(conf):
        conf.register_opts(opts)

    def get_bind_host(conf):
        return conf.bind_host

    def get_bind_port(conf):
        return conf.bind_port

An option may optionally be made available via the command line. Such options
must be registered with the config manager before the command line is parsed
(for the purposes of --help and CLI arg validation)::

    cli_opts = [
        cfg.BoolOpt('verbose',
                    short='v',
                    default=False,
                    help='Print more verbose output.'),
        cfg.BoolOpt('debug',
                    short='d',
                    default=False,
                    help='Print debugging output.'),
    ]

    def add_common_opts(conf):
        conf.register_cli_opts(cli_opts)

Loading Config Files
--------------------

The config manager has two CLI options defined by default, --config-file
and --config-dir::

    class ConfigOpts(object):

        def __call__(self, ...):

            opts = [
                MultiStrOpt('config-file',
                        ...),
                StrOpt('config-dir',
                       ...),
            ]

            self.register_cli_opts(opts)

Option values are parsed from any supplied config files using
oslo_config.iniparser. If none are specified, a default set is used
for example glance-api.conf and glance-common.conf::

    glance-api.conf:
      [DEFAULT]
      bind_port = 9292

    glance-common.conf:
      [DEFAULT]
      bind_host = 0.0.0.0

Option values in config files and those on the command line are parsed
in order. The same option (includes deprecated option name and current
option name) can appear many times, in config files or on the command line.
Later values always override earlier ones.

The order of configuration files inside the same configuration directory is
defined by the alphabetic sorting order of their file names.

The parsing of CLI args and config files is initiated by invoking the config
manager for example::

    conf = cfg.ConfigOpts()
    conf.register_opt(cfg.BoolOpt('verbose', ...))
    conf(sys.argv[1:])
    if conf.verbose:
        ...

Option Groups
-------------

Options can be registered as belonging to a group::

    rabbit_group = cfg.OptGroup(name='rabbit',
                                title='RabbitMQ options')

    rabbit_host_opt = cfg.StrOpt('host',
                                 default='localhost',
                                 help='IP/hostname to listen on.'),
    rabbit_port_opt = cfg.PortOpt('port',
                                  default=5672,
                                  help='Port number to listen on.')

    def register_rabbit_opts(conf):
        conf.register_group(rabbit_group)
        # options can be registered under a group in either of these ways:
        conf.register_opt(rabbit_host_opt, group=rabbit_group)
        conf.register_opt(rabbit_port_opt, group='rabbit')

If no group attributes are required other than the group name, the group
need not be explicitly registered for example::

    def register_rabbit_opts(conf):
        # The group will automatically be created, equivalent calling::
        #   conf.register_group(OptGroup(name='rabbit'))
        conf.register_opt(rabbit_port_opt, group='rabbit')

If no group is specified, options belong to the 'DEFAULT' section of config
files::

    glance-api.conf:
      [DEFAULT]
      bind_port = 9292
      ...

      [rabbit]
      host = localhost
      port = 5672
      use_ssl = False
      userid = guest
      password = guest
      virtual_host = /

Command-line options in a group are automatically prefixed with the
group name::

    --rabbit-host localhost --rabbit-port 9999

Accessing Option Values In Your Code
------------------------------------

Option values in the default group are referenced as attributes/properties on
the config manager; groups are also attributes on the config manager, with
attributes for each of the options associated with the group::

    server.start(app, conf.bind_port, conf.bind_host, conf)

    self.connection = kombu.connection.BrokerConnection(
        hostname=conf.rabbit.host,
        port=conf.rabbit.port,
        ...)

Option Value Interpolation
--------------------------

Option values may reference other values using PEP 292 string substitution::

    opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('state_path',
                   default=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../'),
                   help='Top-level directory for maintaining nova state.'),
        cfg.StrOpt('sqlite_db',
                   default='nova.sqlite',
                   help='File name for SQLite.'),
        cfg.StrOpt('sql_connection',
                   default='sqlite:///$state_path/$sqlite_db',
                   help='Connection string for SQL database.'),
    ]

.. note::

  Interpolation can be avoided by using `$$`.

.. note::

  You can use `.` to delimit option from other groups, e.g.
  ${mygroup.myoption}.

Special Handling Instructions
-----------------------------

Options may be declared as required so that an error is raised if the user
does not supply a value for the option::

    opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('service_name', required=True),
        cfg.StrOpt('image_id', required=True),
        ...
    ]

Options may be declared as secret so that their values are not leaked into
log files::

     opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('s3_store_access_key', secret=True),
        cfg.StrOpt('s3_store_secret_key', secret=True),
        ...
     ]

Dictionary Options
------------------

If you need end users to specify a dictionary of key/value pairs, then you can
use the DictOpt::

    opts = [
        cfg.DictOpt('foo',
                    default={})
    ]

The end users can then specify the option foo in their configuration file
as shown below:

.. code-block:: ini

    [DEFAULT]
    foo = k1:v1,k2:v2


Global ConfigOpts
-----------------

This module also contains a global instance of the ConfigOpts class
in order to support a common usage pattern in OpenStack::

    from oslo_config import cfg

    opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('bind_host', default='0.0.0.0'),
        cfg.PortOpt('bind_port', default=9292),
    ]

    CONF = cfg.CONF
    CONF.register_opts(opts)

    def start(server, app):
        server.start(app, CONF.bind_port, CONF.bind_host)

Positional Command Line Arguments
---------------------------------

Positional command line arguments are supported via a 'positional' Opt
constructor argument::

    >>> conf = cfg.ConfigOpts()
    >>> conf.register_cli_opt(cfg.MultiStrOpt('bar', positional=True))
    True
    >>> conf(['a', 'b'])
    >>> conf.bar
    ['a', 'b']

Sub-Parsers
-----------

It is also possible to use argparse "sub-parsers" to parse additional
command line arguments using the SubCommandOpt class:

    >>> def add_parsers(subparsers):
    ...     list_action = subparsers.add_parser('list')
    ...     list_action.add_argument('id')
    ...
    >>> conf = cfg.ConfigOpts()
    >>> conf.register_cli_opt(cfg.SubCommandOpt('action', handler=add_parsers))
    True
    >>> conf(args=['list', '10'])
    >>> conf.action.name, conf.action.id
    ('list', '10')

Advanced Option
---------------

Use if you need to label an option as advanced in sample files, indicating the
option is not normally used by the majority of users and might have a
significant effect on stability and/or performance::

    from oslo_config import cfg

    opts = [
        cfg.StrOpt('option1', default='default_value',
                    advanced=True, help='This is help '
                    'text.'),
        cfg.PortOpt('option2', default='default_value',
                     help='This is help text.'),
    ]

    CONF = cfg.CONF
    CONF.register_opts(opts)

This will result in the option being pushed to the bottom of the
namespace and labeled as advanced in the sample files, with a notation
about possible effects::

    [DEFAULT]
    ...
    # This is help text. (string value)
    # option2 = default_value
    ...
    <pushed to bottom of section>
    ...
    # This is help text. (string value)
    # Advanced Option: intended for advanced users and not used
    # by the majority of users, and might have a significant
    # effect on stability and/or performance.
    # option1 = default_value

    An Opt object has no public methods, but has a number of public properties:

    .. py:attribute:: name

        the name of the option, which may include hyphens

    .. py:attribute:: type

        a callable object that takes string and returns converted and
        validated value.  Default types are available from
        :class:`oslo_config.types`

    .. py:attribute:: dest

        the (hyphen-less) :class:`.ConfigOpts` property which contains the
        option value

    .. py:attribute:: short

        a single character CLI option name

    .. py:attribute:: default

        the default value of the option

    .. py:attribute:: sample_default

        a sample default value string to include in sample config files

    .. py:attribute:: positional

        True if the option is a positional CLI argument

    .. py:attribute:: metavar

        the name shown as the argument to a CLI option in --help output

    .. py:attribute:: help

        a string explaining how the option's value is used

    .. py:attribute:: advanced

        in sample files, a bool value indicating the option is advanced

    .. versionchanged:: 1.2
       Added *deprecated_opts* parameter.

    .. versionchanged:: 1.4
       Added *sample_default* parameter.

    .. versionchanged:: 1.9
       Added *deprecated_for_removal* parameter.

    .. versionchanged:: 2.7
       An exception is now raised if the default value has the wrong type.

    .. versionchanged:: 3.2
       Added *deprecated_reason* parameter.

    .. versionchanged:: 3.5

        cfg.CONF.register_group(cfg.OptGroup('group1'))

                              group='group1')

    For options which have a single value (like in the example above),
    if the new option is present ("[group1]/newopt" above), it will override
    any deprecated options present ("[group1]/oldopt1" and "[group2]/oldopt2"
    above).

    If no group is specified for a DeprecatedOpt option (i.e. the group is
    None), lookup will happen within the same group the new option is in.
    For example, if no group was specified for the second option 'oldopt2' in
    oldopts list::

        oldopts = [cfg.DeprecatedOpt('oldopt1', group='group1'),
                   cfg.DeprecatedOpt('oldopt2')]
        cfg.CONF.register_group(cfg.OptGroup('group1'))
        cfg.CONF.register_opt(cfg.StrOpt('newopt', deprecated_opts=oldopts),
                              group='group1')

    then lookup for that option will happen in group 'group1'.

    If the new option is not present and multiple deprecated options are
    present, the option corresponding to the first element of deprecated_opts
    will be chosen.

    Multi-value options will return all new and deprecated
    options. So if we have a multi-value option "[group1]/opt1" whose
    deprecated option is "[group2]/opt2", and the conf file has both these
    options specified like so::

        [group1]
        opt1=val10,val11

        [group2]
        opt2=val21,val22

    Then the value of "[group1]/opt1" will be ['val11', 'val12', 'val21',
    'val22'].

        CLI options are special - we require they be registered before the

        can go ahead and apply the appropriate option-type specific conversion

        value is parsed, whether the value comes from the CLI or a config file,
        determines which value specified for a given option wins.
