NAME¶
Config::Model::Backend::PlainFile - Read and write config as plain file
VERSION¶
version 2.154
SYNOPSIS¶
use Config::Model; my $model = Config::Model->new; my $inst = $model->create_config_class( name => "WithPlainFile", element => [ [qw/source new/] => { qw/type leaf value_type uniline/ }, ], rw_config => { backend => 'plain_file', config_dir => '/tmp', }, ); my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'WithPlainFile' ); my $root = $inst->config_root ; $root->load('source=foo new=yes' ); $inst->write_back ;
Now "/tmp" directory contains 2 files: "source" and "new" with "foo" and "yes" inside.
DESCRIPTION¶
This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a configuration tree written in several files. Each element of the node is written in a plain file.
Element type and file mapping¶
Element values are written in one or several files depending on their type.
File mapping¶
By default, the configuration file is named after the element name (like in synopsis above).
The "file" parameter can also be used to specify a file name that take into account the path in the tree using &index() and &element() functions from Config::Model::Role::ComputeFunction.
For instance, with the following model:
class_name => "Foo", element => [ string_a => { type => 'leaf', value_type => 'string'} string_b => { type => 'leaf', value_type => 'string'} ], rw_config => { backend => 'PlainFile', config_dir => 'foo', file => '&element(-).&element', file_mode => 0644, # optional }
If the configuration is loaded with "example string_a=something string_b=else", this backend writes ""something"" in file "example.string_a" and "else" in file "example.string_b".
"file_mode" parameter can be used to set the mode of the written file. "file_mode" value can be in any form supported by "chmod" in Path::Tiny.
Methods¶
read_leaf¶
Parameters: "(obj, elt, check, file, args)"
Called by read method to read the file of a leaf element. "args" contains the arguments passed to read method.
read_hash (obj,elt,check,file,args);¶
Like read_leaf for hash elements.
read_list¶
Parameters: "(obj, elt, check, file, args)"
Like read_leaf for list elements.
write¶
"write" writes a file for each element of the calling class. Works only for leaf and list elements. Other element type are skipped. Always return 1 (unless it died before).
