===============
Trafaret Config
===============

:Status: Stable
:Documentation: http://trafaret-config.readthedocs.io/

This is a wrapper that loads yaml and checks config using trafaret_ while
keeping track of actual lines of file where error has happened. Additionally,
it can pretty print the error.

Basic Usage:

.. code-block:: python

import argparse
import trafaret
from trafaret_config import commandline

TRAFARET = trafaret.Dict({'x': trafaret.String()})

def main():
ap = argparse.ArgumentParser()
commandline.standard_argparse_options(ap, default_config='config.yaml')
#
# define your command-line arguments here
#
options = ap.parse_args()
config = commandline.config_from_options(options, TRAFARET)
pprint.pprint(config)

Example output when there is an error in config (from a `example.py` which
has better trafaret than example above)::

bad.yaml:3: smtp.port: value can't be converted to int
-> 'unknown'
bad.yaml:4: smtp.ssl_port: value can't be converted to int
-> 'NaN'
bad.yaml:5: port: value can't be converted to int
-> '???'

Help looks like this::

usage: example.py [-h] [-c CONFIG] [--print-config] [--print-config-vars] [-C]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
Configuration file (default: 'config.yaml')
--print-config Print config as it is read after parsing and exit
--print-config-vars Print variables used in configuration file
-C, --check-config Check configuration and exit

Since trafaret-config 2.0 environment variables in the config are replaced
by default, this means that config like this:

.. code-block:: yaml

url: http://${HOST}:$PORT/

Will get ``HOST`` and ``PORT`` variables insert from the environment, and if
variable does not exist, you will get the following error::

config.yaml:2: variable 'PORT' not found
-> 'http://${HOST}:$PORT/'

Low-level interface, without relying on argparse:

.. code-block:: python

import sys
import trafaret
from trafaret_config import ConfigError, read_and_validate

TRAFARET = trafaret.Dict({'x': trafaret.String()})

try:
config = read_and_validate('config.yaml', TRAFARET)
except ConfigError as e:
e.output()
sys.exit(1)
