Overview

This class maintains all system-wide configuration for checklister. It properly applies the correct source of configuration values based on the different contexts and also makes sure that compulsory data are not missing.

Some values are dependent on a context, for example: host can have different values based on what service the user wants to connect to. Other values are shared by all those contexts, for example log_file is defined once and for all and the service selected by our user does not matter.

checklister can work with several publishing destinations, for example:

Setting/Selecting the configuration values

When using the checklister binary, you can set one of the many publishing destinations you have access to, via two possible ways:

1. CLI Configuration Values

No configuration file required, you can pass your service credentials directly inline as options.

For example, you might do:

$ checklister --endpoint=https://api.github.com --private_token==supersecret create ...

NOTE: Every time you pass credentials via command line options, they will override any configuration file you have previously set .

2. Configuration File

You can use the command line to add publishing destinations credentials and answer the questions:

$ checklister setup

By default, that configuration file will be saved at /path/to/home/.checklister.json. But you can easily use another one by using that option before any checklister commands:

$ checklister --config=/another/path/to/my_checklister.json setup

As soon as you have set up one or many publishing destinations, every time you will be using a checklister command you will be prompted to select which service to use, for example:

$ checklister create ...

  Select which service to use:
  [1] https://github.com/benichu
  [2] https://github.com/mdeloupy
  [3] https://gitlab.intello.com

DEVELOPMENT: Using the configuration values

Any time you need to access the credentials, you just need to confidently query the value without worrying about the context selected by the user.

For example:

  • The user selected the https://github.com/benichu service, querying Checklister.config.username will return the appropriate value github_user
  • But, if the user selects next the https://gitlab.intello.com service, querying Checklister.config.username will return the appropriate value gitlab_user

Instance Method Details

#apply(attributes = {}) ⇒ Object

Apply a configuration hash to a configuration instance

Examples:

Override one of the configuration attributes

config = Checklister::Configuration.new
config.apply(private_token: 'supersecret')
config.private_token #=> "supersecret"

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    list of key/values to apply to the configuration

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the configuration object

  prepared_attributes = prepare_attributes attributes
  prepared_attributes.each_pair do |attribute, value|
    send("#{attribute}=", value)
  end
  self
end

#to_hash ⇒ Hash

The configuration instance formatted as a stringified hash

Examples:

Override one of the configuration attributes

config = Checklister::Configuration.new
config.to_hash #=> { "endpoint" => "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3", ..., "private_token" => "supersecret" }

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the configuration object as a Hash
