NAME

       Config::Model::models::Itself::ConfigRead - Configuration class Itself::ConfigRead

DESCRIPTION

       Configuration classes used by Config::Model

Elements

backend
specifies the backend to store permanently configuration data. Optional. Type enum. choice: 'cds_file',
'perl_file', 'custom'.

Here are some explanations on the possible values:

'IniFile'
Ini file format. Beware that the structure of your model must match the limitations of the INI file
format, i.e only a 2 levels hierarchy. Configuration filename is made with instance name

'cds_file'
file with config data string. This is Config::Model own serialisation format, designed to be compact
and readable. Configuration filename is made with instance name

'custom'
deprecated

'perl_file'
file with a perl data structure. Configuration filename is made with instance name

config_dir
Optional. Type uniline.

os_config_dir - configuration file directory for specific OS
Specify and alternate location of a configuration directory depending on the OS (as returned by $^O or
$Config{'osname'}, see "PLATFORMS" in perlport) Common values for $^O are 'linux', 'MSWin32', 'darwin'
Optional. Type hash of uniline.

file - target configuration file name
specify the configuration file name. This parameter may not be applicable depending on your application.
It may also be hardcoded in a custom backend. If not specified, the instance name is used as base name
for your configuration file. The configuration file namecan be specified with &index keyword when a
backend is associated to a node contained in a hash. See backend specifications
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-Model/lib/Config/Model/BackendMgr.pm#Backend_specification>.
Optional. Type uniline.

auto_create - Creates configuration files as needed
Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

yaml_class
Specify the YAML class that is used to load and dump YAML files. Defaults to YAML::Tiny. See yaml_class
doc for details on why another YAML class can suit your configuration file needs. Optional. Type
uniline.

upstream_default value :
YAML::Tiny

file_mode - configuration file mode
specify the configuration file mode. "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. Optional. Type uniline.

default_layer - How to find default values in a global config file
Specifies where to find a global configuration file that specifies default values. For instance, this is
used by OpenSSH to specify a global configuration file ("/etc/ssh/ssh_config") that is overridden by
user's file. Optional. Type node of class Itself::ConfigReadWrite::DefaultLayer .

class
Optional. Type uniline.

store_class_in_hash
Specify element hash name that contains all INI classes. See "Arbitrary class name" in
Config::Model::Backend::IniFile Optional. Type uniline.

section_map
Specify element name that contains one INI class. E.g. to store INI class [foo] in element Foo, specify {
foo => "Foo" } Optional. Type hash of uniline.

split_list_value
Regexp to split the value read from ini file. Usually "\s+" or "[,\s]" Optional. Type uniline.

split_check_list_value
Regexp to split the value read from ini file. Usually "\s+" or "[,\s]" Optional. Type uniline.

assign_char
Character used to assign value in INI file. Default is "=". See details Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
#

assign_with
String used write assignment in INI file. Default is "" = "". See details Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
#

join_list_value
string to join list values before writing the entry in ini file. Usually " " or ", " Optional. Type
uniline.

join_check_list_value
string to join checked items names before writing the entry in the ini file. Usually " " or ", "
Optional. Type uniline.

write_boolean_as
Specify how to write a boolean value in config file. Suggested values are "no","yes". Optional. Type
list of uniline.

force_lc_section
force section to be lowercase. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

force_lc_key
force key names to be lowercase. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

force_lc_value
force values to be lowercase. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

full_dump
Also dump default values in the data structure. Useful if the dumped configuration data will be used by
the application. (default is yes) Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

comment_delimiter
list of characters that start a comment. When more that one character is used. the first one is used to
write back comment. For instance, value "#;" indicate that a comments can start with "#" or ";" and that
all comments are written back with "#". Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
#

auto_delete - Delete empty configuration file
Delete configuration files when no information is left in there. This may happen when data is removed by
user. This is mostly useful when the configuration of an application is made of several files.
Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

function
Optional. Type uniline.
