# Configuration Refactoring - Implementation Summary

## ✅ Completed - Phase 1

### What Was Implemented

Successfully created a centralized configuration management system for Schema Sentinel with the following components:

#### 1. **ConfigManager Class** (`schema_sentinel/config/manager.py`)
- ✅ Created modular configuration with 4 sub-configurations:
  - `PathConfig`: Project paths and directories
  - `LogConfig`: Logging settings
  - `DatabaseConfig`: Database connection and retention settings
  - `MetadataConfig`: Metadata extraction configuration
- ✅ Singleton pattern for global access
- ✅ YAML file support for user customization
- ✅ Environment variable integration
- ✅ Auto-calculation of derived paths
- ✅ Type-safe dataclass-based configuration

#### 2. **Core Module Updates**
- ✅ `schema_sentinel/__init__.py`: Updated to use ConfigManager with backward compatibility
- ✅ `schema_sentinel/metadata_manager/model/__init__.py`: Removed duplicate variables, uses config
- ✅ `schema_sentinel/metadata_manager/enums.py`: Uses config for DATA_RETENTION_TIME_IN_DAYS
- ✅ `schema_sentinel/metadata_manager/utils.py`: Uses config for ACCOUNT_MAP, ENV_MAP, CUSTOM_VIEW_FILTERS

#### 3. **Configuration Files**
- ✅ Created `schema_sentinel_config.example.yaml`: Template for user customization
- ✅ Updated `.gitignore`: Excludes user config files, keeps examples

#### 4. **Comprehensive Tests** (`tests/test_config.py`)
- ✅ 16 test cases covering all functionality
- ✅ Tests for PathConfig, LogConfig, DatabaseConfig, MetadataConfig
- ✅ Tests for ConfigManager singleton pattern
- ✅ Tests for YAML file loading
- ✅ Tests for environment variable overrides
- ✅ **All tests passing ✓**

======================== 16 passed, 1 warning in 0.58s =========================
```

### Backward Compatibility

✅ **Fully backward compatible!** Existing code continues to work:

```python
# Old way (still works)
from schema_sentinel import PROJECT_HOME, RESOURCES_PATH

# New way (recommended)
from schema_sentinel.config import get_config
config = get_config()
project_home = config.paths.project_home
```

### Key Features

1. **✅ Single Source of Truth**: All configuration in one place
2. **✅ Environment Variables**: Support for SNOWFLAKE_DEV_ACCOUNT, LOG_LEVEL, etc.
3. **✅ YAML Configuration**: Users can create `schema_sentinel_config.yaml`
4. **✅ Type Safety**: Dataclass-based with type hints
5. **✅ Testing**: Easy to mock/override for tests
6. **✅ No Duplicates**: Removed duplicate definitions from `model/__init__.py`

## 📋 Remaining Work (Optional Phase 2)

### Files That Could Be Updated (Not Critical)

These files still use hardcoded paths but are less critical:

1. **Example Scripts**:
   - `yaml_shredder_cli.py`
   - `example_sqlite_workflow.py`
   - `example_ddl_generation.py`
   - `test_yaml_shredder.py`

2. **Notebooks**:
   - `MPM Comparison and Migration.ipynb`
   - `MPM Test Data Loading.ipynb`

These can be updated incrementally as needed, or left as-is since they're working examples.

## 📖 Usage Examples

### Basic Usage

```python
from schema_sentinel.config import get_config

# Get config instance
config = get_config()

# Access paths
print(config.paths.project_home)
print(config.paths.resources_dir)
print(config.paths.meta_db_dir)

# Access logging settings
print(config.logging.level)
print(config.logging.file)

# Access database settings
print(config.database.data_retention_days)
print(config.database.account_map)
print(config.database.env_map)

# Access metadata settings
print(config.metadata.attributes_to_exclude)
print(config.metadata.custom_view_filters)
```

### Custom Configuration File

Create `schema_sentinel_config.yaml`:

```yaml
paths:
  resources_dir: "/custom/resources"

logging:
  level: "DEBUG"
  file: "/var/log/schema-sentinel.log"

database:
  data_retention_days: 30
  account_map:
    dev: "my_dev_account"
    prod: "my_prod_account"
```

The config manager automatically searches for this file in:
- `./schema_sentinel_config.yaml` (current directory)
- `~/.schema-sentinel/config.yaml` (user home)
- `/etc/schema-sentinel/config.yaml` (system-wide)

### Environment Variables

```bash
# Override specific settings
export LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG"
export SNOWFLAKE_DEV_ACCOUNT="my_dev_account"
export SNOWFLAKE_PROD_ACCOUNT="my_prod_account"

# Run your scripts - config automatically picks up env vars
python yaml_shredder_cli.py
```

### Testing with Custom Config

```python
import pytest
from schema_sentinel.config import ConfigManager

@pytest.fixture
def test_config():
    """Provide test configuration."""
    ConfigManager.reset()  # Reset singleton
    config = ConfigManager()
    config.paths.project_home = Path("/tmp/test")
    config.database.data_retention_days = 1
    return config

def test_my_feature(test_config):
    # Your test code using custom config
    assert test_config.database.data_retention_days == 1
```

## 🎯 Benefits Achieved

1. ✅ **Eliminated Duplication**: Removed duplicate variable definitions
2. ✅ **Improved Maintainability**: Single place to update configuration
3. ✅ **Enhanced Testability**: Easy to mock configuration in tests
4. ✅ **User Customization**: YAML config file support
5. ✅ **Environment Flexibility**: Environment variable support
6. ✅ **Type Safety**: Type hints throughout
7. ✅ **Backward Compatible**: Existing code works unchanged
8. ✅ **Well Tested**: 16 comprehensive tests

## 🚀 Next Steps (Optional)

If you want to complete Phase 2:

1. Update example scripts to use ConfigManager
2. Update notebooks to use ConfigManager
3. Add deprecation warnings to old imports
4. Update documentation to show new config approach
5. Consider adding config schema validation

But the core refactoring is **complete and working**! 🎉
