Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_symbol, *args) ⇒ Object

Allows for simple lookups and setting of config options via method calls on Mixlib::Config. If there any arguments to the method, they are used to set the value of the config option. Otherwise, it’s a simple get operation.

Parameters

method_symbol<Symbol>

The method called. Must match a config option.

*args

Any arguments passed to the method

Returns

value

The value of the config option.

Raises

<UnknownConfigOptionError>

If the config option does not exist and strict mode is on.

#config_context(symbol, &block) ⇒ Object

Allows you to create a new config context where you can define new options with default values.

end

Parameters

symbol<Symbol>: the name of the context block<Block>: a block that will be run in the context of this new config class.

#config_context_hash(plural_symbol, singular_symbol, &block) ⇒ Object

Allows you to create a new hash of config contexts where you can define new options with default values.

configurable(:url).defaults_to("http://localhost")

end

#config_strict_mode(value = NOT_PASSED) ⇒ Object

Gets or sets strict mode. When strict mode is on, only values which were specified with configurable(), default() or writes_with() may be retrieved or set. Getting or setting anything else will cause Mixlib::Config::UnknownConfigOptionError to be thrown.

If this is set to :warn, unknown values may be get or set, but a warning will be printed with Chef::Log.warn if this occurs.

Parameters

value<String>

pass this value to set strict mode [optional]

Returns

Current value of config_strict_mode

Raises

<ArgumentError>

if value is set to something other than true, false, or :warn

#configurable(symbol, &block) ⇒ Object

metaprogramming to set information about a config option. This may be used in one of two ways:

  1. Block-based:

configurable(:attr) do

defaults_to 4
writes_value { |value| 10 }

end

  1. Chain-based:

configurable(:attr).defaults_to(4).writes_value { |value| 10 }

Currently supported configuration:

defaults_to(value): value returned when configurable has no explicit value defaults_to BLOCK: block is run when the configurable has no explicit value writes_value BLOCK: block that is run to filter a value when it is being set

Parameters

symbol<Symbol>

Name of the config option

default_value<Object>

Default value [optional]

block<Block>

Logic block that calculates default value [optional]

Returns

The value of the config option.

#save(include_defaults = false) ⇒ Object Also known as: to_hash

Makes a copy of any non-default values.

This returns a shallow copy of the hash; while the hash itself is duplicated a la dup, modifying data inside arrays and hashes may modify the original Config object.

Returns

Hash of values the user has set.

Examples

For example, this config class:

class MyConfig < Mixlib::Config
  default :will_be_set, 1
  default :will_be_set_to_default, 1
  default :will_not_be_set, 1
  configurable(:computed_value) { |x| x*2 }
  config_context :group do
    default :will_not_be_set, 1
  end
  config_context :group_never_set
end

MyConfig.x = 2
MyConfig.will_be_set = 2
MyConfig.will_be_set_to_default = 1
MyConfig.computed_value = 2
MyConfig.group.x = 3

produces this:

MyConfig.save == {
  :x => 2,
  :will_be_set => 2,
  :will_be_set_to_default => 1,
  :computed_value => 4,
  :group => {
    :x => 3
  }
}
