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

The schema for each option is defined using the 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, you just need to pass type constructor
to Opt. Type constructor is a callable object that takes a string and returns
value of particular type or raises ValueError if given string can't be
converted to that type.

There are predefined types: strings, integers, floats, booleans, lists,
'multi strings' and 'key/value pairs' (dictionary) ::

    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 can appear many times, in config files or on
the command line. Later values always override earlier ones.

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

    conf = ConfigOpts()
    conf.register_opt(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.IntOpt('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 `$$`.

.. warning::

  Interpolation using the values of options in groups is not yet
  supported. The interpolated option must be in the DEFAULT group
  (i.e., ``"$state_path"`` works but ``"$database.state_path"`` does
  not).

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),
        ...
     ]

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.IntOpt('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 = ConfigOpts()
    >>> conf.register_cli_opt(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 = ConfigOpts()
    >>> conf.register_cli_opt(SubCommandOpt('action', handler=add_parsers))
    True
    >>> conf(args=['list', '10'])
    >>> conf.action.name, conf.action.id
    ('list', '10')
